Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino

Westgate Las Vegas sits on South Paradise Road, roughly a block east of the Strip and directly beside the Las Vegas Convention Center - a fact that matters a great deal to anyone in town for a trade show or conference. The Las Vegas Monorail stops right at the property, connecting guests to Harrah's/The LINQ Hotel and Casino, the Flamingo, Paris, MGM Grand and other points along the corridor without touching a car. A giant bronze statue of Man o' War marks the south entrance off Paradise Road, which is the most direct route if you're heading straight to the SuperBook. The Strip itself is a short ride or a walkable distance depending on your tolerance for Nevada heat.

The non-smoking SuperBook is the centerpiece most guests come for: more than 400 seats, a 240-foot-wide by 20-foot-tall indoor LED video wall, and a VIP section called the Ultimate Fan Cave where oversize HD screens let bettors lock in on multiple games at once from lounge-style seating. The casino floor covers blackjack, baccarat, craps, roulette, pai gow poker, Let It Ride, Big Six, slot machines, Megabucks and Wheel of Fortune, plus a dedicated smoke-free slot area and a poker pit. Entertainment headliners rotate through the resort's showrooms - current offerings include Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home, The Magic of Jen Kramer, Soul of Motown, and Engelbert Humperdinck. The five-acre pool deck looks out toward the Strip and includes a hot tub.

Arriving by car, the south parking garage off Paradise Road puts you closest to the SuperBook - useful if that's your only stop. The garage runs six stories, though the top two levels are currently closed, so peak-event weekends can fill the lower floors faster than guests expect. Ground-level parking is also available. The timeshare component of the Westgate Resorts family is visible inside: a presentation space near the North Tower means you may be approached about vacation ownership during your stay, though staff are notably low-pressure compared to similar programs at other properties.
