The Best Retro Hotels in Las Vegas

As of 2021, Las Vegas was reported to have 149,339 hotel rooms, according to a report by Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). Apart from the high-end and modern hotels the city is known for, Las Vegas has several retro hotels in 'old Vegas,' more commonly known as "Downtown."
Fremont street
While the Strip still has several old hotels, most have been renovated to suit modern travelers' needs, so they lack their original vintage aesthetics. Retro travelers looking for hotels retaining vintage charms will likely find better options in Downtown Las Vegas. These hotels thrive by retaining their vintage charm and deep history. Book a night in one of the following quaint hotels and experience the era of Rat Pack hospitality.
