Your guide to Las Vegas’ newest hotels, restaurants, and attractions

After a few challenging years, Sin City is dazzling visitors with splashy new resorts, can’t-miss concerts, and more. Here’s your 2023 guide.

Opened on the Strip in 2021, this massive Asian-inspired resort has more than 3,500 rooms and suites spread over 3 towers, representing Hilton’s 3 premium brands. The $4.3 billion property also has 9 pools and more than 40 restaurants and bars. Rates start at $79.

Rebranded from Bally’s last December, Horseshoe Las Vegas has 2,800 vibrant, modern rooms, and new additions include chef Martin Yan’s M.Y. Asia and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red music bar. Rates start at $49.

The first new ground-up hotel in downtown Las Vegas in decades, Circa opened in 2020 and is the tallest building downtown with 35 floors. The AAA Four Diamond resort’s 777 rooms and suites are a throwback to classic Vegas, and the sportsbook is the world’s largest, with a theater-like stadium and a 78-million pixel screen. 21 and over. Rates start at $119.

This AAA Five Diamond property offers spectacular views. In 2022, it unveiled 7 new 2-bedroom Sky Villas, along with more than 400 redesigned Sky Suites. One-bedroom Sky Suite rates start at $775.

A departure from MGM Grand’s signature sleek accommodations, the 700 newly remodeled rooms in the Studio Tower draw inspiration from Palm Springs’ midcentury modern style. Dusty pinks, chartreuse greens, geometric wall coverings and carpets, clean lines, and globe sconces evoke the era. Rates start at $65. 

Inspired by Stewart’s 1925 farmhouse in Bedford, New York, this elegant restaurant at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino serves French-influenced cuisine and some of Stewart’s favorite recipes. Start with the bread basket and baked oysters Rockefeller, then share the organic roasted chicken, salt-brined and buttered to perfection. Appetizers, $23–$33; pastas and entrées, $26–$160.

Located a 10-minute drive from the Strip, this little slice of Hong Kong offers all-day dim sum, including fried-shrimp wontons, siu mai, and sweet egg tarts. Dim sum items cost around $5 each; entrées start at $13.98.

This San Diego import has garnered a huge fan base with its spin on Midwest comfort food and generous portions. Try Andy’s World-Famous Sage Fried Chicken: cornflake-coated chicken breasts balanced precariously atop a tower of waffles. 4 locations. Entrées, $11–$29.

Food halls are all the rage, and Aria Resort & Casino recently replaced its buffet with Proper Eats food hall, showcasing dishes from 9 restaurants including London’s Seoul Bird, L.A.’s Wexler’s Deli, and New York’s Egghead.

The AAA Five Diamond Le Cirque in the Bellagio reopened in 2021. The menu includes French dishes that are plated like sculptures. Edible flowers adorn buttery hamachi, and plump langoustines swim in a bright caviar-lemon beurre blanc. Splurge on the 8-course tasting menu ($425)—also available with vegetarian-only dishes—or try the 5-course menu ($228). 

In a strip mall about 10 miles west of the Strip, Top Chef alum Jamie Tran cooks up delicious Vietnamese-influenced dishes using French techniques and American ingredients. Exhibit A? Bao sliders with house-made sausage, fried quail egg, and jalapeño aioli. Appetizers, $8–$16; entrées, $19–$44.

At Caesars Palace, James Beard Award–winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel serves his Lucky 7 pastries featuring whimsical good luck symbols, such as the Four Leaf Clover coffee mousse and a fortune cookie filled with jasmine tea crémeux. Don’t miss the Cookie Shot. Desserts, $7–$13.

Part fun house, part interactive exhibition, Omega Mart in the Area 15 entertainment complex provides a wacky, joyful experience for the whole family.

Strange things are afoot at this bright, cartoony supermarket created by art collective Meow Wolf: Frozen prop chickens are tattooed with spaceships, shelves are lined with Camel’s Dream of Mushroom soup, and a cola fridge leads to a psychedelic room. Area 15 is located about 3 miles north of the Strip. Adult tickets start at $49; children, $45.

Brought to you by the producers of the Van Gogh Exhibition: The Immersive Experience, the Disney Animation Immersive Experience features your favorite Disney characters in a 360-degree environment.

Guests meander through rooms, watching, listening, and singing along to scenes from classic Disney films such as Snow White, Pinocchio, Moana, and Frozen. March 30–September 3. Lighthouse ArtSpace at the Shops at Crystals. Tickets start at $39.99.

Tucked behind Circus Circus Hotel & Casino inside a pink glass dome is the hotel’s Adventuredome, a 5-acre indoor amusement park with 25 rides and a midway with hundreds of arcade and video games. On the world’s only indoor double-loop-corkscrew roller coaster, riders can hit speeds of 55 mph.

Kids and adults can also drive bumper cars, propel upward 100 feet in the Sling Shot, or go for a spin on the old-fashioned carousel. Adventurers can also ascend a rock-climbing wall and go bungee jumping. Adults, $60; juniors (under 48 inches tall), $30.

A rousing new variety show from Cirque du Soleil, Mad Apple features singers, magicians, dancers, comedians, and aerial acrobats. Inspired by New York’s nightlife, the intimate venue at New York–New York hotel includes a stage bar where guests can order a drink and mingle with the cast 30 minutes before the show. Tickets start at $49.

See the music of the Fab Four reimagined as a Cirque du Soleil show. The Beatles: Love has long been a crowd favorite with familiar sing-along tunes like “Yellow Submarine” and “Hey Jude,” as well as roller skating, dancing, and acrobats. Producers refresh elements of the show at The Mirage every few years. Tickets start at $69. 

The Cirque du Soleil show that started it all, Mystère premiered at Treasure Island nearly 30 years ago and revolutionized Las Vegas entertainment. With French clowns, gravity-defying acrobatics, taiko drumming, and operatic singing, it’s the most classically Cirque show. Tickets start at $75.

The world’s largest spherical structure, the new 366-foot-tall MSG Sphere at the Venetian will soon host concerts, boxing and mixed martial arts matches, and e-sports tournaments. The high-tech venue will open with a series of shows by U2 starting September 29.

The sleek, dome-shaped Allegiant Stadium hosts Las Vegas Raiders games and is the venue for big-name headliners like Pink and Ed Sheeran in 2023 and the Super Bowl in 2024. And it has some of the best views of the Strip. When the stadium is not in use, guests can take a guided behind-the-scenes tour to learn about Raiders history, step onto the field, and see the broadcast booth and locker room. Tours start at $65.99.

Formerly the Mandalay Bay Events Center, the Michelob Ultra Arena is the home of the 2022 WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and the National Lacrosse League’s Las Vegas Desert Dogs.

At the 30,000-square-foot Hyper X Arena inside Luxor, e-sports enthusiasts can compete in video game tournaments for cash prizes, or watch other players’ games in progress on the 50-foot LED video wall.
