Recently Opened Hotels in Las Vegas

Las Vegas rarely builds — these are the only genuinely new hotels to open in the valley in the last two years.

Opened May 2026

The Vanderpump Hotel

Opened May 2026 • 188 Rooms & Suites • Las Vegas Blvd & Flamingo • Caesars Rewards

The newest hotel open on the Las Vegas Strip — The Vanderpump Hotel debuted May 2026 as Lisa Vanderpump's first hotel, a full rebuild of The Cromwell at the corner of Flamingo and Las Vegas Boulevard. The 188 rooms and 21 suites carry her "industrial romantic" style with custom Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting, moss-green and dusty-lilac palettes, standard rooms at 360 sq ft and suites running to 1,730. A new cocktail lounge and the renovated rooftop pool join GIADA, Drai's After Hours and Caesars Sportsbook, all of which stayed through the transition. Rates settle around $219 outside peak dates. Caesars Rewards eligible.

Opened Dec 2025

M Resort East Tower

Opened December 2025 • 375 New Rooms • Henderson • 10 Miles from the Strip • Mountain Views

The largest addition of new hotel rooms in the Las Vegas Valley since Fontainebleau — M Resort Spa Casino opened its East Tower in December 2025, adding 375 guest rooms along with expanded convention space and casino-floor upgrades. The property sits on elevated ground in Henderson about ten miles south of the Strip, which is where the mountain and valley views come from, and it has long been one of the better-regarded off-Strip resorts in the market. You get resort amenities, a spa and a full casino without Strip crowds, Strip pricing, or the resort-corridor parking situation.

Opened 2025

Otonomus Hotel

Opened 2025 • 303 Apartment-Style Suites • $160 Million • Spring Valley • 2 Miles from Allegiant Stadium

The strangest and most interesting new hotel in Las Vegas — Otonomus opened in 2025 on South Decatur as a $160 million, 303-suite property billed as the world's first AI-powered hotel, developed in partnership with Airbnb. Guests build their stay through an app, choosing amenities and how much staff interaction they want. The suites are apartment-scale with full kitchens and some of the most connecting-room options in the market, alongside separate 21+ and family pools, a rooftop lounge, a Lebanese restaurant and EV charging. Free parking, two miles from Allegiant Stadium, roughly ten minutes to the Strip. Base rates from around $300.

The Full Picture

Every New Las Vegas Hotel Since 2020

Here's something most "best new Vegas hotels" lists won't tell you: Las Vegas almost never builds. The city has more hotel rooms than anywhere in America — over 150,000 — and in the last six years it has added exactly ten genuinely new or reborn properties. In 2022 and 2024 it added none at all. So if a list promises you ten new Vegas hotels, it's padding with properties from the last decade. This is the real list, dated honestly, newest first.

2026

The Vanderpump Hotel Newest on the Strip

May 2026 • 188 rooms incl. 21 suites • Las Vegas Blvd & Flamingo

The Vanderpump Hotel is the newest hotel open on the Las Vegas Strip. Lisa Vanderpump's first hotel took over The Cromwell — itself the former Barbary Coast, open since 1979 — and rebuilt it in her "industrial romantic" style with custom Vanderpump Alain furnishings, moss-green and dusty-lilac rooms, a new cocktail lounge and the renovated rooftop pool. GIADA, Drai's After Hours and Starbucks stayed. Opening weekend ran past $400; rates settled around $219 after.

The Reserve at Park MGM

Early 2026 • Rebrand • Center Strip

Park MGM rebranded its former NoMad hotel space as The Reserve — a boutique hotel-within-a-hotel on the upper floors with its own entrance and check-in. The practical change for travelers: it's now bookable directly through Marriott Bonvoy, which it wasn't before.

2025

M Resort East Tower

December 2025 • 375 new rooms • Henderson

M Resort Spa Casino in Henderson opened its East Tower in December 2025, adding 375 guest rooms alongside expanded convention space and casino-floor upgrades. It's the largest addition of new hotel rooms in the Las Vegas Valley since Fontainebleau, and it sits ten miles south of the Strip with mountain views and no resort-corridor pricing.

Otonomus Hotel

2025 • 303 suites • $160 million • Spring Valley

Otonomus opened in 2025 on South Decatur as a $160 million, 303-suite property billed as the world's first AI-powered hotel, built in partnership with Airbnb. Guests configure their stay through an app — amenities, and how much staff contact they want. Apartment-scale suites with full kitchens, separate 21+ and family pools, a rooftop lounge and free parking, two miles from Allegiant Stadium.

AC Hotel + Element by Westin Symphony Park

September 2025 • 441 rooms, dual-brand • Downtown

The AC Hotel and Element by Westin at Symphony Park is the newest non-gaming hotel in Las Vegas and the first Marriott lifestyle property downtown — 441 rooms across two brands, free hot breakfast, a piano lounge, outdoor pool, free bikes, and 18,000 sq ft of event space next to The Smith Center. No casino floor, no resort fee structure like the Strip's, and Marriott Bonvoy earning throughout.

2024

No new hotels opened in Las Vegas in 2024.

2023

Fontainebleau Las Vegas

December 2023 • 3,644 rooms • $3.7 billion • North Strip

Still the most-searched "new hotel" in Las Vegas, and worth being straight about: Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023, which puts it outside our two-year window now. It remains the newest ground-up resort on the Strip — a 67-story tower that is Nevada's tallest building, with 36 first-to-market restaurants, LIV nightclub, the 3,800-seat BleauLive Theater, a six-acre pool complex and a 55,000 sq ft spa. It holds a MICHELIN Key. If you want the newest large-format luxury resort on the Strip, this is still it — compare Fontainebleau rates in Las Vegas across a few dates, because the North Strip prices differently from the center.

Durango Casino & Resort

December 2023 • 209 rooms • $780 million • Southwest Valley

Opened the same month as Fontainebleau and also now past our window, Durango Casino & Resort was Station Casinos' first all-new property in sixteen years. Ten miles from the Strip, 209 rooms, a natural-light casino floor, a 10,000 sq ft sportsbook with a circular bar, and free parking. It's still the strongest off-Strip resort option for travelers who want modern rooms without Strip crowds or pricing.

2022

No new hotels opened in Las Vegas in 2022.

2021

Resorts World Las Vegas

June 2021 • 3,500 rooms • Three Hilton brands • North Strip

When Resorts World Las Vegas opened in June 2021 it was the first new resort built on the Strip in more than a decade — which tells you most of what you need to know about how rarely this city builds. It holds roughly 3,500 rooms across Las Vegas Grand, Conrad and Crockfords, the largest multi-brand deal in Hilton's history, plus 40-plus dining options and a 5,000-capacity theatre. Five years old now, but still one of the newest large resorts on the Strip.

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas

March 2021 • 1,504 rooms • $200 million rebuild • Off-Strip

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas opened in March 2021 on the site of the original Hard Rock Hotel, following a $200 million transformation. Part of Curio Collection by Hilton, 1,504 rooms just east of the Strip on Paradise Road, and consistently one of the better-value ways to stay near the action without paying for a Strip address.

2020

Circa Resort & Casino

October & December 2020 • Adults-only 21+ • Fremont Street

Circa Resort & Casino was the first ground-up resort built in downtown Las Vegas since 1980, opening in phases across late 2020 and taking up an entire block of the Fremont Street Experience. Adults-only, with Stadium Swim's multi-level pool amphitheatre and what was billed as the world's largest sportsbook. It is genuinely the newest hotel downtown — which says more about downtown's development pace than about Circa's age.

One more worth knowing: the Rio Las Vegas isn't a new build, but it's close to one. A $340 million renovation rebranded it as a Destination by Hyatt property, with 1,500 fully remodelled suites in the Ipanema Tower, a reimagined 117,000 sq ft casino floor, a three-acre pool district and the Canteen Food Hall replacing the old buffet. World of Hyatt points apply. For suite-sized rooms at off-Strip rates it's one of the better values in the city — worth comparing Rio Las Vegas rates against comparable Strip suites for the same nights.

Las Vegas Hotels Opening Soon

Short list, and that's the point — Las Vegas has almost nothing new under construction until 2027. Here's everything genuinely in the pipeline.

Opening Late 2027

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas

The only major new resort under construction on the Strip. The Mirage closed in July 2024 and Hard Rock International is rebuilding it around a guitar-shaped tower that will be one of the most recognisable structures in the city — it passed its 38th floor in early 2026. The project brings the full Hard Rock brand to the Strip for the first time, with a new concert venue, a reimagined casino floor and several thousand rooms. Nothing else of this scale is scheduled before it.

Through 2027

Caesars Palace — Augustus Tower Renovation

Caesars Palace unveiled new Presidential Villas and Sky Villas in January 2026 as the first phase of an expansion running through 2027, which will also deliver close to 1,000 renovated suites in the Augustus Tower. It isn't a new hotel, but at that volume it is effectively new inventory on the centre Strip — and the largest room-product refresh happening in Las Vegas right now.

Get alerts when this opens →

Opening 2029

Inspirada Station

Station Casinos' next Henderson property, with a slated opening around 2029. Land was acquired in the Inspirada master-planned community in 2024 and it follows the template Durango established — a modern locals-first resort well away from the Strip, aimed at a fast-growing residential corner of the valley rather than at tourists. Details remain thin this far out.

Which makes it easy to miss one. The Vanderpump opened in May, Otonomus in 2025, and most travellers still don't know either exists. We email the week a hotel actually opens its doors — while launch rates are still soft. Free, and you can leave any time.

Where to Stay

Las Vegas Neighborhood Guide

Las Vegas isn't one hotel market — it's six. Strip resorts pull a completely different traveller than Downtown, Henderson, or the Stadium District, and the handful of new properties cluster very specifically. Here's where they landed, who each area suits, and what it costs to be there.

The Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard)

Best for: First-timers, shows, nightlife, F1 weekend

The 4.2-mile Strip is where most travellers want to be, and where new inventory is scarcest. The Vanderpump Hotel opened in May 2026 at Flamingo and Las Vegas Boulevard — 188 rooms and suites rebuilt from The Cromwell in Lisa Vanderpump's "industrial romantic" style, and currently the newest hotel open on the Strip. The Reserve at Park MGM arrived in early 2026 as a boutique hotel-within-a-hotel on the upper floors of Park MGM, now bookable through Marriott Bonvoy. Beyond those two: Fontainebleau Las Vegas from December 2023 is still the newest ground-up resort here, and Hard Rock Las Vegas is rising on the former Mirage site for late 2027. Rates swing violently around F1 week and CES, so compare Strip hotel rates in Las Vegas across several dates rather than trusting one.

Downtown & Symphony Park

Best for: Vintage Vegas, value, walkable downtown

Downtown — Fremont Street, the Arts District and the Symphony Park redevelopment — has quietly become the most interesting non-Strip neighbourhood in the city. AC Hotel + Element by Westin Symphony Park opened in September 2025 as Marriott's first downtown lifestyle property: 441 rooms across two brands, non-gaming and non-smoking, with free hot breakfast, a piano lounge, an outdoor pool, free bikes and 18,000 sq ft of event space next to The Smith Center. It's the best-value genuinely new hotel in Las Vegas at around $134. Circa Resort & Casino remains the newest casino-resort downtown, though it opened back in 2020 — adults-only, with Stadium Swim and a vast sportsbook on Fremont Street. Compare Downtown Las Vegas hotel rates against the Strip for the same nights; the gap is usually the largest in the city.

Off-Strip & the Convention Corridor

Best for: Conventions, business travel, suite value

The corridor west and east of the Strip — Paradise Road, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the properties just off Flamingo — serves convention attendees and business travellers who want Strip access without the Strip room rate. Rio Las Vegas completed a $340 million transformation into a Destination by Hyatt property, with 1,500 fully remodelled suites in the Ipanema Tower, a reimagined 117,000 sq ft casino floor, a three-acre pool district and the Canteen Food Hall. Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, a Curio Collection by Hilton property on the old Hard Rock site, holds 1,504 rooms just east of the Strip. For suite-sized rooms at off-Strip prices, compare convention corridor hotel rates in Las Vegas against comparable Strip suites — the difference is often several hundred dollars a night during show weeks.

Summerlin & Southwest Las Vegas

Best for: Locals luxury, golf, Red Rock Canyon

Summerlin and the southwest valley are where locals go for a resort weekend, and where Red Rock Canyon, championship golf and mountain views replace the casino-floor crawl. Durango Casino & Resort opened in December 2023 as Station Casinos' first all-new property in sixteen years — $780 million, 209 rooms, a natural-light casino floor, a 10,000 sq ft sportsbook with a circular bar, and free parking, ten miles from the Strip. It's past our two-year window now but remains the most modern off-Strip resort in the valley. Worth comparing Summerlin hotel rates in Las Vegas against the Strip if your trip involves a car and any interest in the outdoors.

Allegiant Stadium & the Stadium District

Best for: Raiders, F1, Sphere, concerts, families

The district west of the South Strip — anchored by Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena and the Sphere — has become its own demand zone for event-driven travel, and it now has the most unusual new hotel in the city. Otonomus Hotel opened in 2025 on South Decatur: a $160 million, 303-suite property developed with Airbnb and billed as the world's first AI-powered hotel, where guests configure amenities and staff contact through an app. The suites are apartment-scale with full kitchens, there are separate 21+ and family pools, a rooftop lounge and free parking, and it sits two miles from Allegiant Stadium. For a game or a race weekend with a group, compare Stadium District hotel rates in Las Vegas against Strip rooms — kitchens and connecting rooms change the maths considerably.

Henderson & the South Valley

Best for: Quiet, mountain views, longer stays

Henderson sits about ten miles south of the Strip on higher ground, which is where its views come from, and it operates on an entirely different rhythm — residential, unhurried, and priced accordingly. M Resort Spa Casino opened its East Tower in December 2025, adding 375 rooms plus expanded convention space and casino upgrades; it's the largest addition of new hotel rooms in the valley since Fontainebleau. Station Casinos has Inspirada Station slated for the area around 2029. If you have a car and you're staying more than two or three nights, compare Henderson hotel rates in Las Vegas against the Strip — the nightly saving compounds fast, and parking is free.

New Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas has the largest hotel inventory of any city in the United States — more than 150,000 rooms across the Strip, Downtown and the wider valley — and it is also one of the slowest markets in the country for genuinely new hotels. The city renovates constantly and builds rarely. If you're searching for new hotels in Las Vegas or Las Vegas hotels opening soon, the honest answer is that there are only a handful, and this page tracks all of them.

The newest is The Vanderpump Hotel, which opened in May 2026 at the corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. Lisa Vanderpump's first hotel is a full rebuild of The Cromwell — 188 rooms and 21 suites in her "industrial romantic" style with custom Vanderpump Alain furnishings, a new cocktail lounge and a renovated rooftop pool, while GIADA and Drai's After Hours carried through the transition. It is currently the newest hotel open on the Strip.

Two more arrived shortly before it. M Resort Spa Casino opened its East Tower in Henderson in December 2025, adding 375 rooms alongside expanded convention space — the largest addition of new hotel rooms in the valley since Fontainebleau. And Otonomus Hotel opened in 2025 near Allegiant Stadium as a $160 million, 303-suite property developed in partnership with Airbnb, billed as the world's first AI-powered hotel, where guests configure their stay through an app.

For value, the newest options sit away from the Strip. AC Hotel + Element by Westin Symphony Park opened in September 2025 as Marriott's first downtown lifestyle property — 441 rooms across two brands, non-gaming, with free hot breakfast and rates from around $134. The Reserve at Park MGM was rebranded in early 2026 from the former NoMad space and is now bookable directly through Marriott Bonvoy.

Beyond those, the newest properties in Las Vegas are older than most lists admit. Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023 and is still the newest ground-up resort on the Strip. Durango Casino & Resort opened the same month in the southwest valley. Resorts World Las Vegas arrived in June 2021 as the first new Strip resort in over a decade, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in March 2021, and Circa Resort & Casino downtown in late 2020. We date every one of them honestly rather than describing six-year-old properties as new.

Looking ahead, the pipeline is thin until 2027, when Hard Rock Las Vegas is expected to open its guitar-shaped tower on the former Mirage site. We keep this page updated as new properties open and development timelines shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about new and upcoming hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What is the newest hotel in Las Vegas right now?

The newest hotel in Las Vegas is The Vanderpump Hotel, which opened in May 2026 on the Strip at Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard with 188 rooms and suites. Before that, M Resort opened its East Tower in Henderson in December 2025 with 375 new rooms, Otonomus Hotel opened near Allegiant Stadium in 2025 with 303 suites, and AC Hotel + Element by Westin Symphony Park opened downtown in September 2025 with 441 rooms. The Reserve at Park MGM was rebranded in early 2026. Those five are the only genuinely new hotels in Las Vegas within the last two years.

Is The Vanderpump Hotel open in Las Vegas?

Yes — The Vanderpump Hotel opened in May 2026 at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, in the property formerly known as The Cromwell. It holds 188 rooms and suites designed by Lisa Vanderpump and her business partner Nick Alain in an "industrial romantic" style, with custom Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting, moss-green and dusty-lilac palettes, standard rooms at around 360 sq ft and suites ranging from 723 to 1,730 sq ft. A new cocktail lounge and the renovated rooftop pool joined GIADA, Drai's After Hours, Starbucks and Caesars Sportsbook, all of which stayed open through the transition. Opening weekend rates ran past $400 but settled to around $219 afterwards. Bookable through Caesars Rewards.

How many new hotels has Las Vegas actually built recently?

Fewer than most lists suggest. Since 2020, Las Vegas has added ten genuinely new or fully reborn properties: Circa Resort & Casino (2020), Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and Resorts World Las Vegas (both 2021), Fontainebleau Las Vegas and Durango Casino & Resort (both December 2023), Otonomus Hotel and AC Hotel + Element Symphony Park (both 2025), M Resort East Tower (December 2025), and The Reserve at Park MGM and The Vanderpump Hotel (both 2026). No new hotels opened at all in 2022 or 2024. If a list promises ten "new" Las Vegas hotels, it is including properties from the last decade.

What is the Otonomus Hotel in Las Vegas?

Otonomus is a $160 million, 303-suite hotel that opened in 2025 on South Decatur Boulevard in Spring Valley, about two miles from Allegiant Stadium and roughly ten minutes from the Strip. Developed in partnership with Airbnb, it is billed as the world's first AI-powered hotel: guests configure their stay through an app, selecting preferred amenities and how much interaction they want with staff. The suites are apartment-scale with full kitchens and unusually generous connecting-room options, and the property has separate 21+ and family pools, a rooftop lounge, a Lebanese restaurant, EV charging and free parking. Base rates start around $300.

Is Fontainebleau Las Vegas still the newest hotel on the Strip?

Not quite — The Vanderpump Hotel opened in May 2026 and is now the newest hotel on the Strip. But Fontainebleau, which opened in December 2023, remains the newest resort built from the ground up on the Strip, and nothing at that scale is scheduled before Hard Rock in late 2027. It is a 67-story tower with 3,644 rooms, 36 restaurants, LIV nightclub, the 3,800-seat BleauLive Theater, a six-acre pool complex with seven pools and a 55,000 sq ft spa, and it holds a MICHELIN Key. Two considerations: it sits on the North Strip, which is a longer walk from the centre, and a resort fee applies.

Are there any new non-gaming hotels in Las Vegas?

Yes. AC Hotel + Element by Westin Symphony Park opened in September 2025 as a 441-room, non-gaming and non-smoking dual-brand hotel in Downtown Las Vegas, next to The Smith Center. It offers free hot breakfast, an outdoor pool, a piano lounge, free bicycle rentals, dog-friendly rooms and 18,000 sq ft of event space, with Marriott Bonvoy earning throughout and rates from around $134 a night. Otonomus Hotel near Allegiant Stadium is also non-gaming, with apartment-style suites and full kitchens. Both are strong picks for travellers who want a Las Vegas base without a casino floor or a Strip resort fee.

What new hotels are opening in Las Vegas in 2027?

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas is the only major new resort under construction, targeting late 2027 on the former Mirage site. The Mirage closed in July 2024 and Hard Rock is rebuilding it around a guitar-shaped tower that passed its 38th floor in early 2026, bringing the full brand to the Strip for the first time with a new concert venue and reimagined casino floor. Alongside it, Caesars Palace is running an expansion through 2027 that will deliver close to 1,000 renovated suites in the Augustus Tower. Further out, Station Casinos has Inspirada Station slated for Henderson around 2029.
