Non-casino quiet base for the morning after, the recovery half of the bachelor weekend.
"The non-gaming Waldorf Astoria CityCenter property, the working Hilton-luxury non-gaming Vegas anchor."
Why this rank, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas opened in December 2009 as the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas in the CityCenter complex; Hilton's Waldorf Astoria brand took over operations in 2018. 389 rooms and suites; the Presidential Suite at 2,300 sq ft, the Two-Bedroom Suite, and the multi-bedroom Royal Suite are the property's signature accommodations. The property is non-gaming (no casino floor); the working Forbes Five-Star service-tier alignment combined with the non-gaming positioning produces the working alternative to the Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay. The Sky Lobby on the 23rd floor (the property's elevated check-in lobby with the Strip-view bar) is the property's working signature. The dining roster includes Espa restaurant and the working all-day Sky Lobby venues. The Spa at Waldorf Astoria runs the wellness anchor. The Hilton Honors points-earning at the Waldorf Astoria tier suits the Hilton-aligned traveller. Best for the non-gaming central-Strip Vegas stay at Hilton-luxury service tier.
Best room: Presidential Suite, 2,300 sq ft, Strip view
"Non-casino quiet base for the morning after, the recovery half of the bachelor weekend."
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is the renamed-and-rebranded former Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, which Hilton acquired in 2018. The hotel sits in the CityCenter complex (between ARIA and Vdara) and operates as the only fully-non-casino five-star hotel on the Strip, there is no gaming floor in the building. Three hundred and eighty-nine rooms and 100 suites, the upper-floor Two-Bedroom Suite product is the working group-of-four option for the recovery half of the bachelor weekend. The asset is what is missing, the noise, the smoke, the casino-floor traffic, the 24-hour energy that defines the Strip casino hotels, and what is present: the 23rd-floor Sky Lobby, the 23rd-floor pool, the spa with one of the best Strip programmes for the morning-after recovery. Waldorf Astoria is the right pick for the bachelor weekend split-tier strategy: the group books two nights at Encore or Cosmopolitan for the working clubs-and-pool weekend, then transfers to Waldorf Astoria for the Sunday-night recovery before the Monday-morning departure. The single-night Waldorf is also the right pick for the bachelor whose age group prefers the recovery infrastructure to the dayclub one.
Two-Bedroom Suite (the working group-of-four recovery option) or Park Suite for the entry-level corner room.
Use the 23rd-floor Sky Lobby pool at 6.30am for the recovery morning. The spa programme is the strongest of any non-casino Strip property; pre-book the 90-minute massage for Sunday afternoon.
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas for a Bachelor Party list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a bachelor party-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Las Vegas neighbourhood, see Center Strip, CityCenter and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
Editorial · #7 on the Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas 2026 list
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas's case for the Las Vegas stay is the working non-gaming Hilton-luxury alternative. The 2009 property (originally Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, rebranded as Waldorf Astoria in 2018) is non-gaming with no casino floor.
The 389 rooms and suites include the Presidential Suite at 2,300 sq ft, the Two-Bedroom Suite, and the multi-bedroom Royal Suite.
The Sky Lobby on the 23rd floor (the property's elevated check-in lobby with the Strip-view bar) is the property's working signature. The dining roster includes Espa restaurant and the working all-day Sky Lobby venues. The Spa at Waldorf Astoria runs the wellness anchor. The Hilton Honors points-earning at the Waldorf Astoria tier suits the Hilton-aligned traveller. The CityCenter position alongside ARIA Sky Suites and Vdara produces the working CityCenter non-gaming cluster. The structural difference from the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas (also non-gaming) is the central-Strip position (Waldorf Astoria is in CityCenter at the working centre of the Strip) versus the south-Strip position (Four Seasons is at Mandalay Bay). Best for the non-gaming central-Strip Vegas stay at Hilton-luxury service tier.
