Bellagio
Fountains, fine art and timeless Strip elegance that still sets the standard.
Only the premier names make our guide.
Premier Resort Guide awards a place only to the genuinely outstanding — scoring each hotel and casino resort on one demanding scale so the names you see are truly premier, not merely advertised.
"Premier" is a word the industry uses far too freely. Premier Resort Guide gives it back its meaning. We hold every hotel and casino resort to one demanding scale and award a place on our guide only when a casino resort genuinely earns it, so the figure beside one casino resort means precisely what it means beside the next. The result is a premier list you can trust — a short roll of names that have proved themselves rather than simply paid to appear.
A casino resort earns premier status on far more than its gaming floor. The most outstanding hotel and casino resort destinations bring suites, dining, design, wellness, atmosphere and service into one polished whole, and a single weak department can cost an otherwise brilliant casino resort its place. So we judge each casino resort the way a guest experiences it — the arrival, the room, the long dinner, the morning by the pool — and the score we award a casino resort reflects that genuine standard rather than a glossy advertisement.
The guide stays trustworthy because it stays independent. No casino resort can buy premier status, and no advertiser lifts a casino resort onto the list. When two properties are evenly matched, the scores show it; when a famous casino resort coasts on its reputation, our guide says so plainly. We re-judge each casino resort as it changes, because a casino resort that was premier two years ago may not be today. From a Strip casino resort to a bayfront casino resort to an island casino resort, the bar to earn a place never drops.
Every award rests on real, first-hand work: each casino resort is visited in person, each casino resort is judged against the same scale, and each casino resort is revisited as it changes rather than crowned once and forgotten. That discipline lets you set a flagship casino resort beside a boutique-feeling casino resort beside a grand resort-city casino resort and trust that the scores genuinely line up. We would rather judge a single casino resort properly than wave a dozen through, because a casino resort comparison is only as good as the standard behind it.
One closing note: the top premier casino resort is not always the right casino resort for your trip. A refined, adults-only casino resort and a vibrant, family-ready casino resort can sit a point apart while suiting entirely different travellers, so we describe the character of each casino resort beside its award. Read the premier list to shortlist, read the components to decide, and let the casino resort that fits your plans rise to the top of your own list — not merely the casino resort that wears its reputation loudest.

About Premier Resort Guide
Independent · Award-led · Since 2018
Premier Resort Guide began as a short honour roll of the few stays that genuinely impressed us. We wanted to reserve the word "premier" for hotel and casino resort destinations that had truly earned it. That honour roll is now an open, independent guide.
We are a guide, not a travel agency and not a gambling operator. We do not sell rooms, take bookings, host games or facilitate gambling in any form. Our only output is a clear, honest score for each hotel and casino resort we cover.
We're a small, distributed group of hospitality writers and reviewers who pair first-hand visits across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific with aggregated guest data to keep every award fair and current.
Editorial scoring stays entirely separate from any commercial relationship. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

A casino resort should be entertainment — never a way to make money or escape stress. Premier Resort Guide does not offer or facilitate gambling, but because we cover casino resort destinations, player wellbeing matters to us. The guidance and free, confidential helplines below are here for anyone who needs them.
Spending more than planned, hiding play, feeling anxious about gambling, or letting it affect work, sleep or relationships are signals to pause. Reaching out early helps, and support is free and confidential.
Most licensed operators offer deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion (such as GAMSTOP in the UK and Spelpaus in Sweden). If you are under 18, gambling is not for you — and neither is any casino resort gaming floor.
If you or someone close to you is at immediate risk, contact your local emergency services.
