Wynn Resorts\u2019 Wynn and Encore were named the top two Las Vegas casinos by a panel of Travel + Leisure<\/em> experts, and a pair of new additions to the Sin City gaming scene also made the publication\u2019s top 10 list.<\/p>\n

Topping Travel + Leisure\u2019s<\/em> various rankings is old hat for Wynn\u2019s Las Vegas venues. Last July, Wynn Las Vegas<\/a> was rated the top casino hotel in the city in a poll of the magazine\u2019s readers. That was the fourth straight year in which the property captured that honor. While both Wynn and Encore have expansive casinos, the properties are among the most elite in Las Vegas because of extensive nongaming amenities, including entertainment, spas, and upscale eateries.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to the Wynn Las Vegas, Encore Las Vegas has its own casino spanning more than 70,000 square feet. The elegant space features 95 table games and 860 slot machines. High rollers can head up to the Sky Casino for sweeping views of the Sin City skyline \u2014 keep in mind you\u2019ll need at least $300,000 to bet here,\u201d<\/strong> reports Travel + Leisure.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Combined, Wynn and Encore have more than 4,700 guest rooms and about 180,000 square feet of casino space.<\/p>\n

Durango, Fontainebleau Las Vegas Immediately Join List<\/h2>\n

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which is the newest addition to the Strip, and the Durango Casino & Resort<\/a> in Southwest Las Vegas are each just a few months old. But both made the Travel + Leisure<\/em> top 10 rankings of best Sin City casinos.<\/p>\n

\n

Despite a sluggish start and a spate of executive departures<\/a>, Fontainebleau commanded the fifth spot on the list. The property is located at the north end of the Strip, an area notoriously tough on new properties. Anecdotally, this reporter was there last Saturday night, and some employees mentioned business is starting to increase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Red Rock Resorts\u2019 Durango placed eighth on the Travel + Leisure<\/em> list \u2013 solid work for a locals casino that\u2019s barely more than three months old. Durango is one of just two non-Strip venues to make the list, with seventh-ranked Ellis Island being the other.<\/p>\n

A favorite among locals, Ellis Island \u201cis just a block away from the glimmering Strip. Yet its intimate, old-school vibes make it feel worlds away,\u201d noted Travel + Leisure<\/em>.<\/p>\n

MGM Tops Among Operators<\/h2>\n

As the largest operator on the Strip, it\u2019s not surprising that MGM Resorts International had the most properties on the Travel + Leisure<\/em> rankings. That group was led by Cosmopolitan in the third spot, followed by the iconic Bellagio at number four.<\/p>\n

\n

Aria, which is another MGM venue, ranked ninth. The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, which is run by private equity giant Apollo Global Management, placed sixth on the magazine\u2019s rankings of Las Vegas casinos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Caesars Entertainment is the second-largest Strip operator behind only MGM, but only Caesars Palace, in the 10th spot, made the Travel + Leisure<\/em> list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
