Best Luxury Hotels in Henderson, Nevada

This beautiful, relaxing 390-room resort is 10 miles from Strip, but offers modern, swanky rooms; a pool scene; and a 92,000-square-foot casino that rival those of the Strip's best hotels -- not to mention the attentive service. To offset the somewhat isolated location, M Resort offers a free (but limited) shuttle service to the Strip, and even one to the airport. In this price range, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa offers a comparable suburban Vegas experience. 

It's about 20 minutes from the Strip, but this Mediterranean-style resort in the suburbs offers plenty to do: an awesome sand-bottom pool, impressive casino, movie theater, 40,000-square-foot spa, and nightly live music. The 495 guest rooms are elegantly furnished and spacious -- even the standard rooms are about 100 square feet larger than average rooms on the Strip. Travelers might want to compare Green Valley with the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, which offer lower rates, but isn't as glam. 

A half-hour from the Strip, the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa is a haven for vacationers and business travelers who prefer the beauty of Lake Las Vegas and the Nevada desert to the glitz of Vegas. With 354 luxurious and understated rooms, an elegant Tuscany-inspired setting, a full-service spa, and a well-maintained pool area, the hotel serves as a relaxing retreat. Families may want to head to the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, which has service and style that's on par with the Hilton, but more to keep kids entertained (pool with a slide, basketball courts, water sports, and a playground). 

A gorgeous, upscale, lakeside resort 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Luxurious in its details, from the in-room amenities to the fireplaces by the stunning lake-view terrace. Recreational options include two sprawling pools, a full-service spa, a fancy fitness center, and a tennis court. The service is excellent, but the dining is limited.
