Best Marriott International Hotels in Nevada

Located on the Strip just south of the Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of Sin City's more modern luxury hotels. Rooms are comfortable yet contemporary, thanks to a palette of cool blues and bright whites. Accommodations also house plenty of luxe amenities like spacious, marble-floored bathrooms and separate seating areas. Plus these are some of the only accommodations in Vegas that offer the option of a balcony or terrace (available in some suite categories). Downstairs in the lobby, the Wicked Spoon brunch buffet earns rave reviews from recent travelers for the delectable dishes served in individual sizes (in fact, nearly all of the Cosmopolitan's restaurants receive two thumbs up). Between meals, take a dip in one of the hotel's three pools, each with a different atmosphere. Recent travelers also praised the hotel's friendly staff and the concierge's helpful knowledge. Because The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is a member of the Marriott family, members of the Marriott Rewards membership program can accrue or redeem points by choosing to stay here.

Located about 20 minutes from Red Rock Canyon, the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa is a popular spot for those who want to visit Vegas away from the Strip. Sprawling across 50 acres, the property allows ample opportunities for guests to unwind with a game of golf at the nearby Tournament Players Club Golf Course or with a decadent chocolate scrub at Spa Aquae located steps from the casino floor. And if retreating from the casino means finding solace in your accommodations, you'll find each of the spacious rooms (starting at 560 square feet) equipped with a marble bathroom, a whirlpool and a 40-inch flat-screen TV. Although some guests gripe about the drive to the Strip, most recent travelers consider this Marriott property's distance to be the main perk. What's more, if you're a member of the Marriott Rewards program, you can earn or accrue points for staying here.

Situated on the shore of Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada, the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa is a bit of a drive from the Strip (about 20 miles). The lake area has had a few road blocks in the past – and this particular property has changed hands several times over the years – but most recent travelers comment that it's anything but a ghost town. This Westin resort offers a different kind of Vegas experience. Boating, kayaking and fly-fishing equipment are available for lake excursions; hiking and biking trails snake around the property; and there is even a volleyball court and an 18-hole golf course for more competitive travelers. Recent travelers also comment that with the variety of amenities and activities, including a large pool area, this hotel makes for a good family vacation spot. As far as accommodations go, rooms at this hotel all come equipped with the brand's signature Heavenly beds, coffee makers and flat-screen TVs. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Rewards members can earn and use points here.

The Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel is just a hotel. No gaming tables, no loud slot machines, no smoke smell permeating the grounds; it's a quiet place to rest your head a few blocks off the Strip. Its on-site amenities are limited to an outdoor pool and a 24-hour fitness center, but it also features a few restaurants, and high rollers can breathe easy – the nearby monorail can transport you to popular casinos in less than 10 minutes. Some guests lament the cost of breakfast and Wi-Fi, but overall, most travelers applaud the staff at the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel, the free parking and the well-maintained rooms. And if you're looking for a good view, recent travelers recommended asking for accommodations adjacent to the Wynn's golf course. Plus, if you're a Marriott Rewards member, you can earn or redeem points here.

The Westin Las Vegas Hotel, Casino & Spa is about a block and a half off the Strip. Catering more to suits than gamblers and party seekers, the rooms can seem a bit sterile and generic compared to the rest of Sin City. But if neutral sages and tans and simple designs are up your alley, take advantage of this dialed-down Westin outpost. That same decor transfers to guest rooms, which are adorned with Westin's signature Heavenly Beds as well as flat-screen TVs and complimentary water. Guests particularly love the free access to the workout room – a rarity in Vegas – the relaxing pool area and especially the happy hour with complimentary drinks and snacks from 6 to 7 p.m. daily. Another guest favorite and rare plus: Indoor smoking is only allowed on the casino floor; all other restaurants, lounges, clubs and rooms on this Westin property are smoke-free. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Rewards members can earn and use points here.

The guest rooms at the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel come equipped with free Wi-Fi access, work desks, flat-screen TVs, minifridges, coffee makers and artful decor revolving around Reno, Nevada.

The many attractions and casinos of Reno, Nevada, are easily accessible to guests, along with panoramic views of the Sierra Mountains and Truckee River. Recent guests said they were blown away by the friendly, accommodating hotel staff and the clean, modern rooms. Other guests noted that some room features – especially the bathroom door – function oddly and that the decor was a bit too dark.
