2024 Readers’ Choice Awards: The Top Hotels in Las Vegas
"The Strip’s Ancient Rome–themed wonderland is anything but stuck in the past; its largest building block—the 1,181-room Palace Tower—which got a $100 million reno just a few years back, is testament to that fact. Those looking for a splurgy trip should go straight for the 29th-floor villa suites, which, like the grand villas in the Octavius and Augustus towers, are massive and full of great (and OTT) design details. Because Vegas is all about donning your new identity for a while, you can pick from villas with completely different aesthetics, from Ancient Greece to a formal northern European villa furnished in Biedermeier furniture, to neoclassical French Empire and English Regency, all with features like 24K gold-plated fixtures and hand-painted murals, private elevator entry, limo transport, and VIP check-in. Bacchanal continues to offer one of the most mind-blowing buffets in the world (it never ends and serves about 500 dishes at any one time), and if you feel like walking to the other end of the massive complex, you'll get to the Forum Shops, where the retail offerings are vast and there are even more places to dine. It’s truly a self-contained city." - CNT Editors
