The Cromwell

Once the Barbary Coast and later Bill’s Gamblin’ Saloon, this prime piece of real estate facing the Bellagio fountains mysteriously stayed seedy for quite some time. Happily, after a $186-million makeover, the 188-room hotel was reborn as The Cromwell. Here you'll find nice features such as one of the best small cocktail lounges in the city, Bound By Salvatore, in its lobby; a spectacular rooftop pool and club by Victor Drai; and nice little perks including complimentary coffee and flavored waters on guest floors.
