Luxury
As the name suggests, Bellagio hotel and casino is designed with beauty in mind. The hotel is located on the Strip but separated from it by a driveway and a 3.2-hectare (8-acre) lake, featuring more than 1,000 exquisitely timed water fountains, as well as botanical gardens and a fine arts gallery. Bellagio's 316 suites and 3,005 guest rooms are equally impressive, designed with both the business and leisure traveller in mind. Rooms are typically priced depending on how good a view you have of the world-famous fountains, a true Vegas icon.

Moderate
One of the more modest casinos in Las Vegas, El Cortez' roots actually go back to the era of ‘Bugsy' Siegel, one of the city's founders. In 1963, the old hotel and casino were purchased by a Las Vegas newcomer and remodeled to reflect a Southwestern theme. These days, the hotel advertises a modest selection of rooms with rates that cannot be beaten. Furnishings are generally sparse but comfortable. The friendly atmosphere and central location to downtown attractions have long been one of the draws of this small casino, which is now outmatched by the grandiose casinos of the Strip.
