Homewood Suites By Hilton Henderson South Las Vegas

Located in Henderson, the second largest city in Nevada, this Hilton property is at least a 20-minute drive from the densely packed three-and-a-half-mile-long stretch of hotel-casinos on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Strip. Rather, this hotel is closer to Green Valley Ranch Resort and Casino and the South Point Casino (both a short drive away). In addition, several bars and restaurants are within walking distance, such as Vox Wine Lounge, Half Shell, Gaetano's Ristorante, Sushi Wa, Fausto's Mexican Grill, Buon Gusto Ristorante, and Applebee's. And there's Trader Joe's and Albertson's grocery store close by so that you can easily stock the in-room kitchen.- 15-minute drive (or $25 taxi) to McCarran International Airport
