The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa
What convinced us is a full repositioning: this Westin went non-gaming and non-smoking, choosing to...
NoMad Las Vegas occupies the top four floors of Park MGM, a hotel within a hotel that keeps its own lobby, its own casino, and its own design language entirely apart from the resort below. French designer Jacques Garcia, known for Paris's Hôtel Costes and the Hotel Danieli in Venice, brought a New York sensibility built on velvet, dark wood, and brass rather than the LED-lit maximalism most of the Strip trades in. It is a quieter register by design, aimed at a guest who wants proximity to the Strip's energy without living inside it around the clock.
We picked this address for what sits behind the room key: a casino built under the resort's original Tiffany glass ceiling, with blackjack and baccarat tables laid out in a pentagonal geometry that answers the ceiling above them, and a restaurant team — Chef Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, the pair behind Eleven Madison Park — running their first Las Vegas address downstairs. A 9.0/10 score from a small, discerning review base backs up what the pedigree promises.
Park MGM sits mid-Strip, at Las Vegas Boulevard and Park Avenue, walkable to T-Mobile Arena and the Park entertainment district in one direction and CityCenter's Aria and Bellagio in the other. Being stacked above Park MGM rather than standing alone means valet, the casino floor, and the resort's restaurants are an elevator ride away when a guest wants them, and entirely avoidable when they don't — a rare arrangement on a Strip where most hotels only offer one register or the other.

Every room carries Garcia's signature: hardwood floors instead of carpet, custom furnishings, heavy linens, and curated artwork that changes the register from casino resort to residence. The scale is intentionally smaller than the towers below — 293 keys against Park MGM's thousands — which keeps the elevators, the hallways, and the check-in desk closer to a boutique hotel's pace than a convention-week crush. Suites add sitting rooms and, on the higher floors, framed views down the length of the Strip that few Las Vegas rooms can match at this scale.
The building NoMad occupies has history: the ceiling above its casino floor is original to the property and predates the current resort by decades, and the design team built the room around it rather than covering it over. Blackjack, baccarat, and roulette tables sit in a pentagonal arrangement that mirrors the ceiling's geometry — a detail most guests notice on their second visit rather than their first, once the initial impression of old-world glamour settles into something more specific.
NoMad Bar runs the property's culinary program: a dining room built in the spirit of a classical French theater by day, a bar by night, from the team behind Eleven Madison Park's Chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara — their first Las Vegas venture. Upstairs, the rooftop pool trades the Strip's usual pool-day scene for something closer to a private garden, landscaped with the Majorelle Gardens of Marrakech as a reference point rather than the club-pool template most neighboring resorts follow.
