Best Hotels with Airport Shuttle Service in West of The Strip, Las Vegas

Located around the block from the Bellagio, this luxury hotel is a popular off-Strip oasis with a homier vibe. Travel aficionados love the convenience of kitchenettes, equipped with electric cooktops and minifridges in each unit. And the rooftop Pool & Lounge Vdara has a laid-back feel that recent visitors loved. Other places to dine on-site include the gourmet pastry and sandwich spot Market Café Vdara or in-suite dining from a diverse menu. Even more nightlife and dining options abound at ARIA, the sprawling, swanky property just a short walk from Vdara's main entryway. But a word of warning to the high rollers: The Vdara is a gaming-free property, so you'll have to venture to the Strip to get your gambling fix.

The Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is a non-casino option for Las Vegas travelers. And although some recent guests don't love its off-Strip location and lack of gaming, Trump International Hotel does have a complimentary shuttle that runs to the Wynn and Caesars Palace. All units come with a kitchenette, and this Trump hotel is kid- and dog-friendly, too: The Trump Kids program grants children access to the concierge for books, toys and movies, while the Trump Pets program provides dog-walking services as well as beds, toys and a special in-room menu for four-legged travelers. Even when you retreat to your guest room without Fido, plenty of exciting amenities await. Rooms at the Trump feature Italian marble baths, in-mirror TVs in the bathrooms and luxury bed linens. Do keep in mind that there is a $35 daily resort fee.

The Palms has been buzzing with celebrities ever since it housed MTV's "The Real World" cast in 2002 (and yes, the tricked-out suite is still available for reservations). Some recent guests went for a different pop culture theme instead, booking a stay in the Hot Pink Suite that's decorated from top to bottom in a bright fuchsia and Barbie theme. And still others splurged for entertaining accommodations that feature two-lane bowling alleys or basketball half-courts. The Palms also has plenty of basic guest rooms designed with comfort in mind for both adults and kids; the IMAX movie theater and family-friendly food court earn points with the younger set. There are two chinks in the armor, however: First, the Palms Casino Resort is consistently overrun with celebrity clientele seeking the best Vegas nightlife (and usually finding it). Second, the Palms is located about 2 miles west of the Strip.
