Recommended hotels in Las Vegas
Accommodation in Las Vegas is almost the best part of the stay – here the standard of the hotels is generally very high, and the price level of accommodation is relatively cheap in relation to what you get. You can get a luxurious suite on the 30th floor for around 1000-1500 kroner / night per person. The reason for this is that the casinos know that you are going to gamble with them, and therefore they earn their money there. But where are you going to live? We recommend you choose a hotel that is located along “The Strip”, this is the city center and it is “here it happens”. In the overview below you will find three hotels that are guaranteed to give you a good stay in Las Vegas.
Bellagio
Bellagio is one of the most legendary hotels in Las Vegas. You have certainly heard of the wonderful fountain outside the hotel and the fountain show here is considered a separate attraction in itself.
The hotel is centrally located on “The Strip”, with a number of shops adjacent to the hotel and not least a great casino. Here you can frolic in large and nice rooms and the hotel also has a very nice outdoor pool area.
In typical Las Vegas style, the Bellagio is a solid hotel with over 3900 rooms. In other words, you have to expect a bit of walking to navigate around the huge complex at all. That said, the Bellagio is a wonderful mix of everything you would expect from Las Vegas.
The Venetian
The Venetian is another legendary hotel on The Strip. The hotel is, as the name suggests, inspired by Venice, and here you can expect spectacular surroundings with artificial canals with river boats and all.
The hotel has large and sumptuous rooms, with a price after that. If you want to stay stately in Vegas, a suite at The Venetian is a safe choice.
The hotel has an insane 4028 rooms, 20 restaurants and bars, 4 outdoor pools, spa, fitness center, own nightclub and casino. In other words, it’s big and lavish in true Las Vegas style.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas
The Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas is a five-star luxury-style hotel located along Las Vegas Boulevard (The Strip).
This hotel is much smaller in size and number of rooms than the other two options, well worth noting as if you prefer a slightly smaller setting.
Four Seasons has an incredibly good standard which is reflected in the extremely good feedback this hotel receives. An expensive hotel, but if you want the best when you visit Las Vegas, this hotel is a good alternative.
Travel to Las Vegas
To get to Las Vegas you have to prepare for a long journey and it takes up to 20 hours to get from Norway to Las Vegas. There are no direct flights from Norway, but it is possible to go directly to Los Angeles or New York , and then make a flight change. Flying domestically in the USA is cheaper than flying domestically in Norway, despite the fact that the distances can be much longer. In any case, you must expect to set aside almost an entire day for travel, but you “earn” some of this with the time difference of 9 hours.
The currency in Las Vegas is, as is well known, the US dollar and you should have some of it if you visit cities. Las Vegas is a city that costs dearly, whether you go to a show or gamble. Everyone expects tips, and the price level of the city’s many luxury restaurants is very high. In other words, you should have saved up a good penny here! Las Vegas is known for a lot of crime, but as a tourist and outsider you will hardly be involved in anything, and it is completely safe to travel the streets here. If you stick to “The Strip” and do not travel too much in the back streets, the holiday should go smoothly. The drinking water can be drunk from the tap, but most hotels offer bottled drinking water as the tap water in the USA is generally no longer in good taste.
