The glitz and glam of the Las Vegas strip is one of the city’s main attractions - With towering hotels, indulgent buffets, fun activities, and grand casinos, it’s no wonder Las Vegas is known as a city that never sleeps.

That said, the hustle and bustle on the strip isn’t for everyone, with some travelers (especially those visiting for longer stays) looking for a quieter retreat just off of the strip. From luxurious resorts with stunning spas, retro casinos, and comfortable apartment-style accommodations, there are plenty of great hotels located away from Las Vegas’ main strip. Without further ado, here are 10 of the best off-strip hotels in Las Vegas!
