Las Vegas Home To 8 Of The 10 Highest-Rated Casinos In America

It’s probably no surprise, but a recent survey reveals that eight of the top 10 highest rated casinos in America call the Las Vegas valley their home. However, you may be surprised as to which famous Sin City resorts did not make the top 10.

The folks at the Hudson Reporter studied internet reviews of the top 850 casinos across the U.S.A. Specifically, they considered Trip Advisor ratings and reviews, Google ratings and reviews, Instagram hashtag counts, and total internet searches.

After considering this data, the Hudson Reporter created an index where each casino would receive a score which could total a perfect 100.

The Venetian Resort and Casino received the highest rating in this study at 87.22. This casino has a 4.7-star review rating from over 110,000 customers.

The most striking finding in this study is that the top seven highest rated casinos are all based here in Las Vegas.

In second place was the Bellagio Hotel and Casino with a score of 82.70. This casino gets a 4.5-star rating review on Trip Advisor, and a 4.7-star rating review on Google.

Wynn Las Vegas takes third place with an overall score of 79.80. The highest-rated casino that is not located on the Las Vegas Strip owns the fourth spot. That would be Red Rock Casino Resort in Summerlin, with a score of 78.86.

Rounding out the top seven are the ARIA Casino Resort in fifth place (75.50), Encore Las Vegas in sixth (74.06), and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas at number seven (72.05).

The next Southern Nevada casino to make the top 10 highest-rated casinos in America is The M Resort Spa Casino on the south end of The Strip in ninth place (69.03).

We travel to Biloxi, Mississippi to find the first highly rated casino outside of the Las Vegas Valley. That honor belongs to the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, operated by MGM Resorts International. This casino claims eighth place with an overall score of 69.15.

Finally, in tenth place, an entertainment destination, which also happens to house a casino and a shopping center. In fact, it’s really a thoroughbred horse racing track. It’s Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Their casino got a score of 69.00.

One would think that one or more of the most famous Las Vegas casinos would have made the top 10 in this study. For example, Caesars Palace is probably the most world-renowned Las Vegas casino, but it could only manage to make 20^th place in this survey.

Other notable Las Vegas casinos which did not make the list of the 10 highest rated casinos in America include the MGM Grand, The Flamingo, and Circa Resort and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas.

For many people, Valentines Day is the most romantic day on the calendar. Besides your relationship or wedding anniversary, February 14^th is an annual reminder to let your sweetheart know that you love them. With that in mind, the experts at Casinos.com decided to check internet reviews to determine the nation’s most romantic casinos.

It may be difficult for one to consider Las Vegas a romantic destination. Sure, if you want action, if you want to party, if you want incredible food, Vegas is your place. But is it really a great place for a romantic getaway for two?

Of course, based on television shows and movies, we know that Las Vegas is a great place to visit BEFORE the wedding. Certainly, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties. But that doesn’t count as romance. However, I can see why our home city is an excellent destination for marriage proposals, honeymoons, and anniversary celebrations. There’s plenty to do and see. Plus, Las Vegas offers some of the best dining and entertainment on the planet.

So, this Casinos.com survey of the most romantic casinos in the nation isn’t as crazy as you might think. Obviously, there are an incredible number of casinos in Sin City. So it may not be surprising to learn that our city boasts six of the top 10 most romantic casinos in the U.S.A.

Basically, Colm Phelan’s article on the Casinos.com website bases the findings on internet reviews. In general, they consider reviews of the 30 busiest casinos in the nation. These casinos receive the most internet reviews.

Then, they check for keywords such as “romantic,” “proposal,” “wedding,” “marriage,” and “honeymoon” to see which casinos get the most mentions. Besides the six Las Vegas casinos, there are casinos from Detroit, Michigan, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Temecula, California, and Seneca, New York making the top 10.

Without further ado, here are the six Las Vegas properties in the top 10 most romantic casinos in America!

Per the Casinos.com survey, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino ranks 10th in the nation when it comes to romance. The wedding page on their website boasts big awards from Las Vegas Bride Magazine, such as "Best Wedding Chapel, Weddings by Water, Best Wedding Resort, and Five Star Awards." Of course, to be a top-notch wedding destination, they must have experienced wedding planners. They'll take care of a bride's every need, from the flowers, the cake, the catering, the decor, and the photographer. "I do!"

The MGM Grand Las Vegas comes in at number eight in the Casinos.com rankings. Although I could not locate a wedding page on their website, this legendary property certainly boasts amazing nightlife, restaurants, and entertainment. Perfect for a Las Vegas honeymoon, or if someone is ready to pop "the question." However, it's interesting to note that the MGM Grand Detroit performs better in this romance survey, placing fifth in the rankings. Las Vegas sounds like a more romantic destination, but I guess I feel that way because I've lived here for so long.

I would have guessed that the Bellagio Hotel and Casino would have placed much higher in the rankings in this Casinos.com review. Of course, this beautiful property ranks in the top 10, coming in at number seven. The Bellagio offers four amazing wedding sites on their grounds. The bride and groom can choose from the East Chapel, the South Chapel, the Terrazza di Sogno, or the Fountain Courtyard. Getting married near the iconic Bellagio Fountains would be spectacular, wouldn't it? But not on a windy day. You don't want the bride to end up soaking wet before the photographer takes the wedding pictures.

OK, now we're down to the three most romantic casinos in the nation, which all happen to be located right here in Southern Nevada. Placing third in this survey is the Aria Resort and Casino. Although there is only one wedding chapel on site, there are plenty of romantic places to tie the knot in this hotel and casino. Additionally, many reviewers find the Aria to be a great spot for honeymoons and marriage proposals. After all, this luxury resort and casino has received both the AAA Five Diamond Award and a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide according to their website.

Here's the biggest surprise in this Casinos.com survey of the most romantic casinos in the nation. I would have guessed that all of the Las Vegas properties making this list would be located on The Strip. But no! A Las Vegas locals property in Summerlin places second. Congratulations to Red Rock Resort, Casino and Spa. The wedding page on their website boasts wedding venues poolside, or with amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip and nearby canyons. Of course, they offer ballroom weddings and receptions as well. I bet a lot of the positive romantic reviews  came from locals who celebrate anniversaries at Red Rock Resort, Casino, and Spa. Great place for a romantic staycation!

And now, the most romantic casino in the U.S.A. is...(drumroll please): The Venetian Resort Las Vegas! And why not? It's almost like being in the romantic city of Venice, Italy with the gondola rides down the Grand Canal. Plus, you're surrounded by all that beautiful Mediterranean-inspired art and architecture. According to the Venetian website, "the Venezia Gardens are one of the best outdoor Las Vegas wedding venues." The Venetian outperformed the second place finisher by a wide margin, so there's no question about it. When it comes to weddings, marriage proposals, honeymoons, anniversary celebrations, or a romantic getaway for two, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is a winner.
