The Westin Casuarina Las Vegas

Hotel Information: This 17-story Las Vegas hotel has a small, contemporary lobby with marble, wood trim, and leather seating. Situated off the Strip, the Westin Casuarina has a more relaxed atmosphere than its mega-resort neighbors. Even the casino and dining areas are more subdued than many of the area’s larger properties.

Amenity highlights: The 10,000-square-foot Hibiscus Spa offers 15 treatment rooms, wet and dry saunas, and a Westin Workout fitness facility. The spa's signature treatment, Hibiscus Island Paradise, includes a papaya pineapple body scrub and a massage with warm herbal coconut milk. A contemporary restaurant, a casino lounge, and room service all provide around-the-clock dining.

Insider tip: When you tire of the glitzy cuisine and buffets on the Strip, head for the famed Restaurant Row, which begins about a quarter-mile from the hotel on East Flamingo Road. There you'll find some of the country’s best-known names in dining, including Roy’s, Morton’s, McCormick & Schmick’s, Buca di Beppo, and Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

All 826 contemporary guestrooms in this 17-story Las Vegas Westin hotel feature signature Heavenly Beds and Heavenly Baths.

The Heavenly Bath consists of a dual showerhead with multiple spray options; curved shower rod for extra room; white-on-white shower curtain; velour, waffle-weave bathrobes; and oversized Brazilian combed-cotton bath towels.
