Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is a 47-story, 389-room luxury hotel occupying the southeastern corner of the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip. It opened in December 2009 as the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas and was rebranded Waldorf Astoria in August 2018 after CCLV Luxury Hotel LLC, led by developer Tiffany Lam and Panda Express founders Andrew and Peggy Cherng, bought the property for $214 million; Hilton has managed it under the Waldorf Astoria banner ever since.
The draw here is what’s missing as much as what’s present: there is no casino floor, no slot-machine noise, and no smoking in guest areas, making it the Strip’s rare quiet-luxury option. Guests get a 27,000-square-foot spa, skyline pools, and direct walking access into CityCenter’s Crystals shopping and dining district while still standing steps from Aria and T-Mobile Arena.

Rooms, Pool and Spa
The hotel occupies the tower’s first 22 floors, with residences above, and rooms lean toward oversized layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows and Strip or mountain views rather than themed decor. A 2021–2024 renovation moved the lobby from the 23rd-floor sky lobby down to street level and refreshed guest rooms and public spaces.
Pool amenities include two lap pools, a plunge pool and whirlpools with attendant service for shade and refreshments, open roughly 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The AAA Five Diamond, Forbes-rated spa is one of the largest on the Strip, with couple’s suites, a Hammam and Rhassoul treatment rooms.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
Because there’s no casino or in-house theater, entertainment centers on food and drink: Peacock Alley serves afternoon tea and champagne 23 floors up, and Hard Shake is a Japanese-technique cocktail lounge. The original French restaurant from chef Pierre Gagnaire has since given way to rotating dining concepts, and guests can walk directly into Crystals for further shopping and dining.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
The Waldorf sits mid-Strip inside CityCenter, connected by walkway to Aria and Crystals and within easy walking distance of T-Mobile Arena and the Cosmopolitan; reaching the north Strip or Sphere requires a rideshare or the Strip monorail/tram system rather than a walk.
It suits couples, business travelers and guests who want five-star service and quiet without gaming-floor noise or smoke; families chasing pools-and-waterpark scale or gamblers wanting a casino at their doorstep are better served by a traditional Strip resort.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas FAQs
Does the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas charge a resort fee, and is parking included?
Yes, a nightly resort fee applies (sources report roughly $45–$62 depending on when booked) and there is no free self-parking; valet parking carries its own nightly charge, so confirm both at booking.
Is the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas actually on the Strip, and is it walkable to other casinos?
Yes — it’s inside the CityCenter complex on Las Vegas Boulevard, directly walkable to Aria, Crystals, the Cosmopolitan and T-Mobile Arena, though reaching the far north Strip is easier by rideshare or the monorail.
Does the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas have a casino?
No. It’s one of the only Strip-adjacent luxury hotels with no casino floor, positioned instead as a quiet, spa-focused alternative next to Aria’s gaming floor for guests who want the Strip location without the noise.
