The Cosmopolitan tops list of Las Vegas’ most beautiful casinos

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has been named the most beautiful casino in Las Vegas, edging out iconic properties including the Bellagio and Caesars Palace, according to a new ranking by Gambling.com based on online customer reviews.

The Cosmopolitan secured the top spot with a “Beautiful Review Percentage” of 16.4%, derived from the frequency of keywords such as “beautiful,” “elegant,” and “charming” in TripAdvisor reviews. Situated near the Bellagio fountains, the modern casino resort is known for its striking purple-toned lighting and signature chandelier décor.

Wynn Las Vegas & Encore placed second with 15.4%, followed by the recently opened Fontainebleau Las Vegas at 14.5%. The Venetian & Palazzo and the Durango Casino & Resort rounded out the top five with scores of 14% and 12.8%, respectively.

Despite being considered cultural cornerstones of the Las Vegas Strip, both the Bellagio and Caesars Palace failed to crack the top 10. The Bellagio ranked 13th with a Beautiful Review Percentage of 8.1%, while Caesars Palace came in 15th at 6.4%.

Gambling.com researchers analyzed thousands of online reviews for 20 major Las Vegas casinos, tracking five beauty-related keywords to compute a relative beauty score.

Las Vegas is known for its over-the-top architecture and theatrical flair, researchers noted, highlighting the city’s mix of postmodernism, art deco, and high-tech design.

El Cortez and Golden Nugget tied for sixth (11.6%), followed by Resorts World Las Vegas (10.4%), Downtown Grand Hotel (10.1%), and the Four Queens Hotel and Casino (9.1%) to complete the top 10.

According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, Las Vegas is home to more than 150 casinos catering to over 41 million annual visitors. Despite fierce competition in luxury and entertainment, the beauty ranking showcases how customer perceptions continue to shape the reputations of these glitzy gaming destinations.
