From the casinos to the shows, shops, and museums, there are many reasons more than 40 million travelers are drawn to Las Vegas every year. But while hotels are often right in the action, Airbnbs in Las Vegas offers perks not in traditional accommodations. From gourmet kitchens and quiet cul-de-sacs to group friendly homes with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, the right Airbnb can give travelers a comfortable home base to venture from. And, in some cases, Airbnbs can be more affordable than the cost of a Vegas strip hotel.

While staying off the strip offers quieter surroundings and fewer crowds, some Airbnb condos still sit on or adjacent to the strip for adventurers looking to stay right in the heart of Las Vegas. On the other hand, choosing accommodations away from the strip tends to come with a quieter stay with ample parking and a shorter distance to the area's outdoor attractions. Beyond the glitz and glam of the iconic Vegas strip, the southern tip of Nevada delivers picturesque desert views and a short drive to Red Rock Canyon or the Hoover Dam.

Whether you are looking for a penthouse condo with a strip view or a quiet house with a private backyard pool, these are the best Airbnbs in Las Vegas.

These are the best Airbnbs in Las Vegas, priced from low to high.

FAQ: Airbnbs in Las Vegas

Where should I stay in Las Vegas?

The best place to stay in Las Vegas varies based on your must-see destinations and travel priorities. If being close to the casinos and steps away from restaurants and shops is high on your priority list, consider finding an Airbnb condo located right on the iconic Vegas strip. If you want to experience the Vegas nightlife but not when trying to sleep, a quieter community just a short drive from the strip may be more your style.

Starting your travel itinerary before booking an accommodation can help you narrow down what part of the city is closest to your must-see list. Las Vegas has more to offer beyond the well-known casinos, shops, and shows dotting the strip. The city is also home to several large museums, from a Children's Museum to art and history. Those choosing Las Vegas as a warm escape from the winter can find several golf courses dotting the city's outskirts, boating and swimming at Lake Las Vegas or even experience the desert dunes in a UTV tour.

The southern part of Nevada also has several sightseeing destinations. To the west of the city sits the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area, which offers a scenic drive for spotting wildlife. To the northwest is the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. Travelers can drive to the Hoover Dam in under an hour to the southeast of the city, while the west rim of the Grand Canyon is around a three-hour trek northeast.

What should I look for in an Airbnb?

Finding the right Airbnb first requires identifying your travel needs or the needs of your group. How many people are you traveling with? Does your group include children or pets? Are you driving or renting a car and needing space for parking, or do you need accommodations easily accessible by Uber and public transit? Would you rather have a kitchen to cook in or a spot close to local restaurants? Do you just need a place to sleep, or do you want a home with entertainment built-in, like a pool or game room? Once you've narrowed your travel priorities, you can narrow the list of Airbnb results by the location, number of bedrooms, and different amenities offered.

Besides ensuring your Airbnb has the right number of beds and extra accommodations, look for listings with high reviews from past guests. Listings with the Superhost badge indicate a responsive, accommodating host, while the Guest Favorite badge indicates a property with consistently high reviews.

What is Airbnb's cancellation policy?

Airbnb allows each host to set their own cancellation policy, which means that the policies on Airbnb differ from listing to listing. Before booking, be sure to read through the host's cancellation policy. Some do not allow cancellations at all, and some only offer a partial refund for cancellations. Others require the cancellation to be made by a certain date, while some hosts will offer a higher but refundable rate to choose from.

While the host designates the cancellation policy, Airbnb's Major Disruptive Events policy could entitle you to a refund or travel credit in rare cases. The list of what Airbnb considers to be a major disruptive event includes government-mandated travel bans, government-declared health emergencies, or mandatory evacuations due to a natural disaster.
