NoMad Las Vegas

Situated on the top four floors (29 through 32) of the former Monte Carlo resort building that it shares with its sister property, the Park MGM Las Vegas, the NoMad Las Vegas offers an upscale, more intimate alternative to some of the bigger hotels in the area. The design throughout is chic and artsy, with bespoke furnishings, dark color palettes, and moody lighting that gives the hotel a sultry, sophisticated atmosphere. The lobby has attractive marble floors, heavy drapery, and dark carpets, all of which wouldn't look out of place in the earlier part of the 20th century. The restaurant is even chicer still, designed to resemble a library, with lots of dark wood paired with rich carpeting and a mix of pincushion booths and red-velvet seats. A Moroccan-style outdoor pool and small casino are some of the property’s features, plus guests here get access to all facilities at the huge Park MGM, such as a full spa and numerous dining options. This hotel within a hotel attracts couples and business travelers looking for upscale digs in what can be an unabashedly gaudy city.

Wondering: Where is NoMad Las Vegas? It’s right in the heart of the action, on the famous Las Vegas Strip, inside the same building as the Park MGM Las Vegas and across from New York-New York Hotel and Casino. While Vegas has plenty of transportation options (including taxis and the 24-hour Deuce on the Strip bus), it's easy to walk to many of the major casino hotels from the NoMad. Reaching the Luxor Hotel and Casino takes about 20 minutes on foot, while getting to Bellagio Las Vegas takes about the same amount of time in the opposite direction. McCarran International Airport is a 15-minute drive from the NoMad Las Vegas, and ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft operate in the city.

The creation of Jacques Garcia, a French architect and designer, the NoMad Las Vegas rooms feature much more elegant furniture than what you'd expect from Vegas, with mahogany work desks, plush velvet chairs, steamer-style cabinets, thick patterned screens, and large oriental rugs. This plush opulence is more fitting for couples than families or business travelers, especially as some rooms have freestanding bathtubs near the beds. Standard amenities are modern, consisting of well-stocked minibars, flat-screen Smart TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but like most Vegas properties, there are no coffee- and tea-making facilities or empty fridges (available for a pricey daily fee). Bathrooms are particularly striking, particularly once you get into the Atelier and higher categories, which add large stand-alone soaking tubs to the spaces; lower categories still have big walk-in showers with mosaic tiling.
Rooms start at 406 square feet (38 square meters) with the Classic King and Classic Queen categories. Those needing a little more space can upgrade to the Salon Double NoMad Hotel Las Vegas, which comes in at around 690 square feet (64 square meters) and adds a sofa, or the NoMad Las Vegas Grand Suite, which offers a separate bedroom and living area. If you really want to splurge, the Suite Royale Premiere is the best offering in the house, with room for up to six people, two bedrooms, and even a billiards table.

NoMad Las Vegas restaurant options include The Restaurant, which is open on evenings (closed Sunday and Monday), The Bar, which offers evening-only service every day except for Sunday, when it's only open for brunch, and a pool bar, which serves snacks and drinks when the pool is in use. Food offerings at The Restaurant are unsurprisingly upscale, with a focus on European meat-based dishes such as foie gras on the NoMad Las Vegas menu. Room service is also available, 24/7, and guests can always pop down to the numerous casual or fine-dining Park MGM restaurants if the NoMad restaurants aren’t open.

As mentioned above, the NoMad bar Las Vegas offers drinks and food most evenings, accompanied by live entertainment, and a jazz brunch on Sunday. The evening menu here is naturally more focused on wine and cocktails, though you can get some great snacks and dinner options, including black truffle tartes, ceviche, and burgers. Just don’t expect a budget experience, both food and drinks here are expensive.

Situated on the fourth floor, the NoMad pool Las Vegas is one of its prettiest features, offering Moroccan-inspired tiling and plush daybeds for one or two, and a smattering of curtained-in areas with low seating, all set against a contrasting backdrop of towering skyscrapers. Pool parties here are held during the spring and summer months during the day; come on Sunday if you're into tropical house music. Note that the pool opens in March and closes after Labor Day when temperatures begin to drop, but NoMad guests are welcome to use the Park MGM pool during the low season.

The NoMad Hotel Las Vegas doesn’t offer a ton of its own amenities beyond its pools and dining options, though, unsurprisingly, it does have its own small, high-end casino, complete with a Tiffany glass ceiling and games such as Roulette and Baccarat. There are also some event spaces unique to The NoMad, best suited to smallish groups, and both the bar and restaurant can be rented out for larger groups. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Self- and valet parking, both with in-and-out privileges, are available. Moreover, guests can use facilities shared with the Park MGM Las Vegas, such as the spa and the 24-hour, well-equipped fitness center. Free coffee is available in the NoMad lobby (a nice perk given that rooms lack coffeemakers). There’s also a small snack and sundry shop.
