Here’s a look at the kings of the Strip:
- The Oldest Casino Still Standing: Golden Gate Hotel & Casino
Year Opened: 1906
Originally opened as the "Hotel Nevada," this spot is where it all began. Nestled on Fremont Street, it’s seen prohibition, the rise of the mob, and the digital age — all from behind the same golden doors.
- The Largest Casino by Gaming Space: Wynn and Encore
Combined gaming area: Over 191,000 sq. ft
These twin luxury resorts are more than just opulence — they offer the most expansive floor space for gaming in Vegas. Think poker, slots, roulette... and enough marble to tile a palace.
- The Newest Giant: Resorts World Las Vegas
Opened: 2021
A $4.3 billion mega-project, this is Vegas reborn. With over 3,500 rooms, 117,000 sq. ft of casino floor, and even a crypto-friendly vibe — it’s the future of gambling, wrapped in LED screens.
- The Most Slot Machines in One Casino: Red Rock Casino
Slot Count: 2,700+
While the Strip gets the hype, Red Rock (just off-Strip) holds the slot crown. Locals love it — and high-limit players keep coming back.
- The Most Outrageous Casino Concept: The Venetian
Why go to Italy when you can gamble under hand-painted ceilings and float on an indoor canal? The Venetian is pure Vegas excess — and people love every gold-plated second of it.
Bonus Fact: The Casino with the Most Hotel Rooms
MGM Grand: 6,852 rooms
It’s practically a city. You can sleep, eat, lose, win, and party — all without leaving the building.
Final Roll
Vegas doesn’t just do “casinos.” It builds worlds. And whether you're after history, luxury, or sensory overload — there’s a casino waiting with your name on a chip.
