9 Best Las Vegas Hotels with 2-Bedroom Suites

730

Need two real bedrooms in Vegas? Skip a suite sold with a connecting room added, because that second bedroom is a separate hotel room, and book a unit sold as one two-bedroom. If two couples are sharing, most casino-resort suites give each bedroom its own bathroom. Some vacation-club two-bedrooms are lock-offs, two halves joined by double locking doors, and they work for two couples as well.

What Counts as a Real 2-Bedroom Suite in Las Vegas

Two bedrooms come in three layouts in Vegas, and only one of them is a trap.

• Suite Plus a Connecting Room: Caesars Palace sells suites with a connecting room added. That’s two hotel rooms side by side, so read the room name before you pay.
• Lock-Off Two-Bedrooms: A lock-off is a timeshare unit that splits into two sections, each with its own bedroom. Some Elara two-bedrooms are a one-bedroom suite and the studio next door, joined by double locking doors that both have to be unlocked to walk through.
• One Suite, Two Bathrooms: Most casino-resort two-bedrooms are single suites with a bathroom for each bedroom. That’s the layout to book if two couples are sharing.

Vacation-Club Towers vs Casino Resorts

Vacation-club towers are timeshare resorts that also take ordinary paid bookings.

• No Casino Floor: Elara has no casino of its own, and the building is smoke and gaming free. That keeps cigarette smoke out of the halls and the lobby.
• Housekeeping: Housekeeping terms differ between the vacation-club towers and the casino resorts. Check them before you book a short stay.
• Compare the Checkout Total: The headline nightly rate and the checkout total differ, so line up the final total for each hotel before you book. Use the same dates and guest count each time.

On the Strip or Just Off It: What the Walk Is Like

The Strip runs more than 4 miles from Mandalay Bay to the STRAT. Hotels just off it sit a block or more back from Las Vegas Boulevard.

• Harmon Avenue Addresses: Elara‘s front door is on Harmon Avenue, behind the Miracle Mile Shops. That’s why some guides call it off the Strip.
• End to End: Walking the whole Strip takes at least an hour. Between the North Strip and the South Strip, take an app-based taxi.

Getting Around Without a Car: the Monorail and the Free Trams

Three rail lines run along the Strip, and only the monorail charges a fare.

• The Monorail: It runs down the east side with seven stations, from SAHARA to MGM Grand. Stations sit a long block behind the resorts, so the walk to the platform goes through a casino.
• West-Side Gap: The monorail stays on the east side, so it doesn’t reach Bellagio. On the west side, the free trams and app-based taxis fill the gap.
• ARIA Express: This free tram links Park MGM and ARIA, the Shops at Crystals and Bellagio. It runs on the west side of the Boulevard, where the monorail doesn’t go.
• Down to Mandalay Bay: A free tram runs from Mandalay Bay to Luxor and Excalibur. Southbound trains run express from Excalibur back to Mandalay Bay.

Kitchens, Groceries and the Weighted Minibar

The casino-resort suites have no kitchen.

• Kitchenettes: Trump International Hotel Las Vegas has a kitchenette in its two-bedroom penthouse. Plan on breakfasts in and dinners out.
• Groceries on the Strip: A small Target sits on the Strip at the Showcase Mall, opposite Park MGM, with groceries and drinks. It’s the easy stop for breakfast supplies.
• Weighted Fridges: Some hotels pre-stock the in-room fridge with weighted items, so moving one triggers a charge. Ask at check-in before you load your own food in.

Las Vegas with Kids: the Under-21 Casino Floor Rules

Nevada law keeps anyone under 21 off the gaming floor. Kids can walk through a casino, but they can’t stop there.

• What the Law Says: Under Nevada law, under-21s can’t play, place bets, collect winnings or loiter in gaming areas. The rule covers the adults and staff who let it happen too.
• Walking Through: With an adult, under-21s can cross a casino to reach rooms, restaurants and shows. They can’t stand beside a parent at a slot machine or a table.
• No Floor to Cross: At a non-gaming hotel there’s no casino to walk through. Trump International Hotel Las Vegas has none at all.

When 2-Bedroom Suites Book Up: Weekends, CES and Race Week

Weekends fill faster than midweek in Las Vegas, and big conventions add midweek pressure.

• Weekend Squeeze: Conventions fill rooms Monday to Thursday, and leisure travelers fill the weekends. Book a weekend two-bedroom well ahead.
• CES in January: Las Vegas has hosted CES for decades, and it draws more than 100,000 attendees. Avoid that week unless you’re going.
• Race Week: On Grand Prix weekends, sections of Las Vegas Boulevard close and pedestrian routes change. Race-week rates climb, so compare the dates either side.

FAQs

1. How many people can a 2-bedroom suite in Las Vegas sleep?

Most two-bedroom units on the Strip sell for up to six people. At most of them, the fifth and sixth places are a sofa bed in the living room. Mandalay Bay‘s panoramic suite and Trump International‘s two-bedroom penthouse take four. Club Wyndham Grand Desert‘s two-bedroom is sold for eight, so count the real beds before you book.

2. Which hotel brands have 2-bedroom suites in Las Vegas?

Hilton Grand Vacations sells two-bedroom suites at Elara, Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the Las Vegas Strip, Hilton Grand Vacations Club Flamingo Las Vegas and Polo Towers. Club Wyndham sells them at Grand Desert and Desert Blue. Among the casino resorts, Resorts World has them in its Crockfords and Conrad towers, and MGM has them at Bellagio, the Cosmopolitan and Mandalay Bay.

3. Does the Venetian have 2-bedroom suites?

Its Penthouse Suite spans 2,600 square feet, with a king in the primary bedroom and two queens or two kings in the second. There are two en suite bathrooms plus a powder room, so each bedroom has its own. You book it with the Venetian directly, through its own site or reservations line, and confirm the bed setup for the second bedroom when you do.

4. Are there 3-bedroom suites in Las Vegas?

Elara lists three- and four-bedroom suites, and Club Wyndham Grand Desert has three-bedroom Presidential units as well. At the top end, MGM Grand‘s SKYLOFTS sells two-floor three-bedroom lofts. Crockfords has a three-bedroom palace with a private pool, and you call the hotel to check whether it’s free for your dates.

5. Are there 2-bedroom suites in downtown Las Vegas?

The Plaza is one of the few downtown hotels with rooms of more than one bedroom. The D has a two-bedroom suite on the 17th floor, with two kings and a bathroom for each bedroom. Circa is adults-only, so it’s out for families. For a wider pick of two-bedrooms, the Strip and the blocks just off it have far more.

6. Do you have to attend a timeshare presentation to stay at a Hilton Grand Vacations resort?

It’s a condition of Hilton Grand Vacations’ discounted promotional packages, which pair a cheaper stay with a sales pitch. Those packages show up on the booking page labeled as a preview or a promotional stay. Read that page before you pay, and skip anything carrying those labels if you’d rather not sit through a presentation.

7. What is the best hotel for families in Las Vegas?

For a two-bedroom family stay, pick a non-gaming hotel or a vacation-club tower, so the kids aren’t walking past slot machines. Trump International has no casino, and Elara has none of its own. For a family of six, check the sleeping count first, because a sofa bed fills the fifth and sixth places in most two-bedrooms.
