Lisa Vanderpump of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame opened the Vanderpump Hotel on the city’s Strip in June this year. It offers more than 180 guest rooms, a rooftop pool, sizable casino, an Italian restaurant curated by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, a 24-hour fitness centre, and a late-night, underground club named Drai’s After Hours.

The Vanderpump’s iconic neighbour Ceasars Palace has also seen an upgrade, with the addition of two new Presidential Villas in the Colosseum Tower and 29 Sky Villas in the Octavius Tower. A total of 1,700 rooms in the resort’s Julius and Palace Towers will undergo renovations in 2027.

The Venetian Resort, meanwhile, has unveiled 275 high-end suites at the Palazzo that make up Milano. A Dolce & Gabbana brand partnership, private butler service and an exclusive, guest-only pool make this a top choice for ultra-luxury travellers.

“Las Vegas is entering 2027 with exceptional momentum, giving travel advisors more opportunities than ever to create memorable, highly personalised trips for their clients”, said H. Fletch Brunelle, Vice President of Marketing at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. 

“The destination continues to innovate at every level, with headline entertainment, major sporting events, and immersive attractions alongside new culinary, resort and wellness experiences,” he added.

Michelin announced its American Southwest guide covering Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah on 26 August. Las Vegas’ Restaurant de Joel Robuchon earned two stars, while local favourite Esther’s Kitchen received a Bib Gourmand and Gymkhana, an Indian fine-dining restaurant earned a Michelin recommendation.

Other developments for 2027 include The Rocky Horror Picture Show coming to the Sphere and the arrival of a Hard Rock Hotel, complete with 700-foot guitar-shaped exterior.

“Las Vegas remains easy to sell across a broad range of traveller interests and budgets,” said Brunelle. 

“For the travel trade, staying close to these developments is essential, as advisors who engage early can turn growing excitement into stronger itineraries, longer stays and repeat visitation to Las Vegas.”

Las Vegas has also officially been announced as the host city for Super Bowl LXIII in 2029.
