Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s had a 21st-century makeover, with each of its three towers following its own eclectic style.

The rooms
Alexandria Tower rooms have crystal chandeliers and white chaise longues, while Marra Tower spaces stick to neutral tones.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Draped cabanas and bright loungers line the rooftop pool deck, set right below the glowing marquee.
The spa
Amina Spa has dedicated couples treatment suites and herbal steam rooms on the second floor.
At the table
Bazaar Meat roasts suckling pigs in wood-fired ovens, and CASBAR Lounge pours drinks beneath a draped gold ceiling.
The Marra Tower in particular has been heavily refreshed, with remodeled rooms and suites that trade old Vegas nostalgia for a cleaner, more contemporary look—neutral tones, better finishes.
How it began
The hotel replaced Club Bingo in 1952, quickly becoming a favorite haunt for the Rat Pack.
