The 389-room Waldorf Astoria is a non-smoking, non-gambling luxury hotel located at the southern end of the Strip and across from the high-end Shops at Crystals. Rooms are large and sophisticated, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that in most cases offer great views, and glass-enclosed marble bathrooms with separate showers and soaking tubs. The 27,000-square-foot spa has dozens of body treatments, as well as water and relaxation areas, and a hair and nail salon. Three small pools -- including a shallow one for children -- are quiet and have waiter service. The Waldorf’s three swanky restaurants get positive reviews and serve French, Asian, and American cuisines. Other amenities include a gym offering free fitness classes, a tea parlor, and free car service within two miles of the hotel. For a livelier stay with swish rooms and many more on-site features, it’s worth checking out the Wynn Las Vegas.

With rock-bottom rates and tons of family-friendly features, the mid-range Circus Circus Hotel & Casino is a popular option on the Las Vegas strip. The mega hotel’s 3,773 dingy rooms are not the main attraction, instead the on-site amusement park, waterslides, arcade, and hourly circus performances attract families looking for affordable fun on the strip. However, guests should expect crowds everywhere. Also on the downside, cleanliness issues are common throughout the property, and rooms are quite drab and worn, plus they lack mini-fridges. On-site dining options are limited (by Vegas standards) and other amenities like the fitness center and beauty salon are underwhelming. For better accommodations on the strip, families should check out Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, though it’s pricier.

Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino is a three-and-a-half pearl property with a hip vibe and a convenient central Strip location. Its 2,496 air-conditioned guest rooms have a modern monochrome style plus excellent bathrooms and modern amenities. The casino includes all of the standard Vegas games plus go-go dancers and a clubby soundtrack. Unfortunately, its two pools -- including one for adults only -- get crowded and poolside loungers are limited. However, the FlowRider surf simulator is a hit. Planet Hollywood’s 11 restaurants range from chain eateries to an excellent Gordon Ramsay burger joint, and other amenities include a spa and gym. Big-ticket celebrity residencies like Pitbull and Britney Spears are also big draws. Travelers who'd like a more Euro-inspired theme might opt for the equally over-the-top Paris Las Vegas, though its features are slimmer.

Treasure Island is a three-pearl hotel and casino with a solid location at The Strip's northern end. The property’s 2,885 air-conditioned rooms are pleasant enough, but a bit worn, and include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The popular casino features table games, slots, and a race and sports book, but keep in mind that it's smoky. Tightly packed lounge chairs and cabanas surround the big pool and a live DJ spins pop music. Food-wise, the hotel’s restaurants get positive reviews and range from steak to Vietnamese to a buffet. Other amenities include a modern gym, bars, and a spa. The on-site Cirque du Soleil show and Marvel Avengers experience are big draws as well. As an alternative, the Paris Las Vegas offers over-the-top Old-World accents with a slightly more upmarket atmosphere.

The Sahara Las Vegas is an upscale property housing 1,600 rooms. The hotel mixes elements of the property's past with strikingly modern decor. Rooms are spread across three towers, each with its own aesthetic, and run the gamut from tiny crash pads to romantic spaces that invite lingering. There's also an array of restaurants to fit varied budgets, three beautiful outdoor pools, spa and fitness facilities, and -- of course -- a casino. However, the location on the far north end of the Strip can be inconvenient, and travelers wanting a more central location may want to spend a little more for a stay at the Aria Resort & Casino or Caesars Palace.

A 4,004-room mega-resort, Aria stands as the shiny centerpiece of the $11 billion City Center, opened in December 2009. Everything at Aria is done on a grand scale, from the soaring ceilings to the 16 restaurants, and not at the expense of good service, either. And the design, while whimsical and creative, aims for refinement and class rather than Vegas kitsch, creating a lovely luxury hotel -- and one that's still affordable.

Right in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, The LINQ Hotel & Casino is a 2,640-room, budget-friendly option popular with travelers who just want a cheap place to stay. Formerly known as the Quad and, before that, the Imperial Palace, the property offers a casino, a pool, and numerous bars and lounges on-site for nightlife, plus Guy Fieri's only Las Vegas restaurant. Rooms were renovated as part of the rebranding now sport a clean, modern look, though they're light on amenities (there are no coffeemakers or clocks, for example). Parking and Wi-Fi are free and the central location makes it a good place for those who want to spend more time outside their rooms than in them. It's a good value for this category, and attracts a younger party crowd; families may want to compare rates at the New York New York Hotel & Casino, which has a roller coaster on-site (as opposed to the ferris wheel here).

At the southern end of the Strip looms the massive ancient-Egypt-themed Luxor Hotel & Casino, which offers affordable rates, a mix of dated and contemporary rooms, and the typical array of resort features. In terms of room count, this upper-middle-range colossal hotel-casino is second only to the MGM Grand, with around 4,400 rooms and 487 suites, all of which have flat-screen TVs, sitting areas, and safes, but no coffeemakers or fridges. A daily resort fee (common for Vegas) covers Wi-Fi. Four outdoor swimming pools, gay-friendly summer pool parties, a 120,000-square-foot casino, the world's largest atrium, a giant sphinx, quality spa, and a host of dining, entertainment, and nightlife options help the Luxor Hotel Las Vegas stand out among its extravagant neighbors. It’s about half the price as the nearby Mandalay Bay, though it’s not nearly as luxe. Paris Las Vegas offers a similarly priced themed stay with more impressive rooms.
