All-suite tower within Mandalay Bay, adult-skewed, rebranded W Las Vegas in December 2024.
"The non-gaming all-suite Mandalay Bay tower, Delano until its December 2024 rebrand to W Las Vegas."
Why this rank, W Las Vegas is the December 2024 rebrand of Delano Las Vegas, the non-gaming all-suite tower at Mandalay Bay that opened as THEhotel in 2003 and traded as Delano from 2014. 1,117 accommodations, every one a one-bedroom suite or larger, now under the W flag with Marriott Bonvoy earning. No casino floor in the tower; dining leans on the broader Mandalay Bay roster one elevator ride away. Best for the south-Strip non-gaming all-suite stay at the Bonvoy tier.
Best room: the high-floor corner suites (all rooms are suites)
"All-suite tower within Mandalay Bay, adult-skewed, rebranded W Las Vegas in December 2024."
W Las Vegas, Delano until its December 2024 rebrand, is the all-suite, adult-skewed wing of the Mandalay Bay complex on the South Strip. One thousand one hundred and seventeen suites, entry-level units around 750 square feet with two-bedroom layouts for groups. The asset is Mandalay Bay Beach, eleven acres with a real wave pool and sand beach, plus the Daylight Beach Club in the same complex, all of it reachable without leaving the property. The trade-off is geography, Center Strip clubs are a 10-minute taxi north, and the W-vs-Mandalay-Bay choice inside one complex is simply all-suite versus standard rooms.
The two-bedroom loft layouts if you need the space, or the entry-level suites; every room in the tower is a suite, so spend on floor height and view.
Mandalay Bay Beach is the standout, an eleven-acre pool complex with a wave pool and sand beach. The Daylight Beach Club runs the dayclub format next door. Center Strip is a 10-minute taxi north when you want the marquee clubs and casinos.
W Las Vegas sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas list. It scored an aggregate 9.4/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field, with its non-gaming all-suite format the angle that earned its rank. For alternatives in the same area, see the South Strip and Mandalay Bay cluster. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. Rooms with the coveted orientation are claimed first, while popular-month availability runs out months in advance. The high-floor corner suites, the categories that justify this ranking, tend to sell out before anything else.
Editorial · #17 on the Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas 2026 list
The W's case for the Las Vegas stay is as the Mandalay Bay tower-suite alternative to Four Seasons. The tower opened as THEhotel in 2003, traded as Delano from 2014, and took the W flag in December 2024 under MGM's licensing deal with Marriott; it remains non-gaming, with no casino floor in the tower.
The 1,117 all-suite rooms (every accommodation is a one-bedroom suite or larger) top out in multi-bedroom penthouse layouts; categories are being renamed as the W identity rolls out.
All-suite product plus non-gaming positioning makes this the Mandalay Bay tower alternative to the Forbes Five-Star Four Seasons next door, at a meaningfully lower entry rate. Dining leans on the broader Mandalay Bay roster one elevator ride away, and Marriott Bonvoy earning now applies across the tower. Best for the south-Strip non-gaming all-suite stay on loyalty currency.
A ranked shortlist, a special offer worth booking, and the overpriced stay to skip. Straight from the editors.
