BOS 2025 LAS VEGAS STRIP
There’s seemingly something for every on the Las Vegas Strip—gambling, excellent dining and bars, world-class entertainment, thrill rides and so much more. By 2028, that’s expected to include major league sports as well with the opening of the $1.5 billion, 33,000-person-capacity baseball stadium at the site of the former Tropicana. The venue will host the Las Vegas Athletics (formerly of Oakland) and Bally’s is already planning a casino with three hotel towers built around the stadium.
On the Strip, the vibes flow from relaxation at state-of-the-art spas and pools to a vibrant, high-energy scene with nightclubs featuring celebrity DJs and plenty of gambling at the slots and tables. This category saw a complete change from the previous few years, with three new casinos rising up to take the podium.
The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino grabs No. 1 as Best Overall Gaming Resort and certainly impresses as guests take a trip back in time to old Italy—complete with real gondola rides throughout the canals built into the property interior. The Grand Canal Shoppes offer a great opportunity to stroll, shop and grab a bite to eat at one of the property’s amazing restaurants. The hotel is also top-notch and gamblers will find everything they might imagine in the 200,000 square feet of casino space. There is literally something for everyone and this property snagged awards for Best Reel Slots, Casino Where You Feel Luckiest, Best Penny Slots and Best Customer Service.
Bellagio Hotel & Casino moves back into the top three and offers guests a brilliant experience. This MGM property is one of those resorts that seems to define Vegas, and the property has served as a backdrop for Hollywood films like Ocean’s Eleven. The property not only houses some great slot options, but also has a high-octane poker room. Bellagio grabbed high praise as Best Progressive Slots, Best Quarter Slots, Best $5+ Slots and Best High-End Slot Area.
MGM scored another top-three finish with the MGM Grand reaching the podium. This property has been pleasing guests since 1993 and has been the site of some amazing shows, sports action and other events. The location is perfect for those wishing to hop around the south end of the Strip. The property has everything a gambler might want—from numerous slots and table games to a poker room, sportsbook and plenty of great restaurants and bars. The MGM Grand lived up to its name’s billing as Best Nickel Slots, Best Dollar Slots and finished well in other categories.
