Is W Las Vegas worth it? Honest pros and cons
Yes — W Las Vegas is a design-forward, adults-oriented, all-suite tower at the south end of the Strip that works well for travelers who want quieter, suite-style accommodations connected to Mandalay Bay’s resort complex. It’s worth it if you prioritize spa facilities (BATHHOUSE Spa), rooftop drinks (Skyfall Rooftop Bar and Lounge), pool time at the WET Deck plus access to Mandalay Bay pools; less appealing if you need extensive on-site dining or family-focused programming.
