Rooms guide

Choosing a casino resort room

A good stay starts with a good night's sleep. This guide covers room types, noise and the upgrades that are actually worth it.

Room types

What the usual categories mean

Names differ from one property to the next, but most casino hotels use a similar ladder of room types. Here is what each level usually includes.

01

Standard / Deluxe

The entry level. Expect a king or two queen beds and a full bathroom. At larger resorts, 'deluxe' is often just the standard room in a newer tower.

02

Junior suite

One larger room with a seating area rather than a separate lounge. Often the best value upgrade for longer stays.

03

Suite / Penthouse

A separate living room, sometimes a dining area or terrace. Top-tier suites are frequently set aside for loyalty members and may not be bookable online.

Getting a good night's sleep

How to ask for a quiet room

  • Ask for a high floor away from the lifts. Lift lobbies and ice machines are the main sources of corridor noise.
  • Avoid rooms above nightclubs and pool decks. Music and events can run late, especially at weekends.
  • Request a non-smoking floor in writing. Add it to the booking notes and confirm again at check-in.
  • Check the tower. A large casino hotel often has several buildings. The one furthest from the entertainment area is usually the calmest.

Is the upgrade worth it?

Features worth paying for

Are view rooms worth the premium?

If you will spend evenings in the room, often yes. For a short stay spent mostly out, the money usually goes further on a good dinner.

What about club or lounge access?

Lounges with breakfast and evening snacks can offset their cost for two people. Check the opening hours and what is actually served before you pay.

Do loyalty programmes help non-gamblers?

Many resort loyalty schemes also count spending on rooms, dining and spa, and sign-up is usually free. Read the terms to see what qualifies.
