Last checked: 10 November 2026.
Las Vegas is easier with a dog than it looks. Most of the big resort groups have a pet program, and the Strip has more grass than you expect once you know where it is. The desert mornings are cool enough for a long walk from October to April. The hard part is July, when the sidewalk is too hot for paws by nine in the morning, and the casino floor, where dogs are not allowed at any hour.
Every hotel below accepts dogs, and one accepts cats. The policies, weight limits and ratings come from Hotels.com, checked on 10 November 2026, and we only include hotels rated 8.8 or higher. Pet fees change, so read the policy on the listing before you book.
Pet-friendly hotels on the Strip
Park MGM Las Vegas, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd S
Park MGM allows two dogs up to 50 pounds each, with a pet fee per night. It is the best-placed hotel on the Strip for a dog. The Park, the tree-lined promenade between Park MGM and New York-New York, has lawns and shade a minute from the door. The rooms are among the calmest on the Strip, and more than 11,000 guests on Hotels.com rate the hotel 9.0.
New York-New York Hotel & Casino, 3790 Las Vegas Blvd S
Next door to Park MGM and with the same pet policy: two dogs up to 50 pounds. The lawns at the Park are just as close, and the rates are usually lower. More than 15,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. The casino is loud, so ask for a room high in the tower.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S
The Cosmopolitan allows two dogs up to 25 pounds each in specific rooms, so ask for a pet-friendly room when you book. The rooms with terraces over the Strip are the reason to come, and there is a pet relief area on the property. More than 11,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. It is the right choice for a small dog and a couple who want to be in the middle of everything.
Vdara Hotel & Spa at ARIA, 2600 West Harmon Avenue
Vdara is an all-suite hotel with no casino, which matters with a dog because you never have to carry it across a gaming floor. Two dogs up to 50 pounds are allowed, with a fee. The suites have a kitchenette, the pool sits on a terrace, and more than 4,400 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. Parking is valet only.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, 3960 Las Vegas Blvd S
The Four Seasons is the only hotel in this guide where pets stay free: two dogs or cats up to 25 pounds each. It is a non-gaming hotel on the top floors of the Mandalay Bay tower, with its own lobby and pool, and the quiet south end of the Strip outside. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.8, the highest rating of any hotel in Las Vegas with more than 1,000 reviews. It is also the most expensive hotel here.
W Las Vegas, 3940 Las Vegas Blvd South
W Las Vegas is the boutique tower attached to Mandalay Bay, the hotel that was Delano until 2025. Two dogs up to 50 pounds are allowed in pet-friendly rooms. The rooms are suites, the pool is shared with Mandalay Bay, and guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8 across more than 1,200 reviews.
Pet-friendly hotels off the Strip
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Curio Collection by Hilton, 4455 Paradise Rd
Virgin Hotels is a mile east of the Strip on Paradise Road, with free self-parking, a large pool area and two dogs allowed in pet-friendly rooms. It charges a resort fee, but a lower one than the Strip resorts. More than 9,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. With a car, it is ten minutes from the Strip and 15 from the airport.
Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center, 3275 Paradise Rd
The Courtyard allows two pets up to 50 pounds, has no casino and no resort fee, and sits ten minutes on foot from the Sphere and the Convention Center. More than 1,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. It is the cheapest hotel in this guide and the easiest for a dog, with a parking lot you can walk straight out of.
The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, 101 Montelago Blvd, Henderson
For a dog that needs to run, this is the one. The Westin sits on Lake Las Vegas, about 20 miles east of the Strip, with trails around the water and free self-parking. Two dogs up to 50 pounds are allowed in pet-friendly rooms. Two pools, a beach and kayaks make it a resort in its own right. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. Plan on 30 minutes by car to the Strip.
What Picolo chooses
What Picolo chooses: Park MGM for a dog on the Strip, and the Four Seasons if the pet fee matters less than the quiet. The Westin Lake Las Vegas for a dog that needs space.
Why: Park MGM is a minute from the lawns at the Park, the only real green space on the central Strip. Its rooms are calmer than its neighbors'. The Four Seasons is the only hotel here where pets stay free and the only one with no casino on the way to the room. The Westin has trails, a beach and free parking.
The trade-off: Park MGM and the other Strip hotels charge a pet fee per night on top of the resort fee, and the sidewalks are hot from June to September. The Four Seasons is far more expensive. The Westin is 30 minutes from the Strip, so it suits a road trip more than a show weekend.
Walking a dog in Las Vegas
The Park, between Park MGM and New York-New York, is the one stretch of lawn on the central Strip. Further south, the grounds behind Mandalay Bay and the Four Seasons are quieter. Off the Strip, Sunset Park on Sunset Road has a large fenced dog park and is ten minutes by car from the south Strip. In summer, walk before eight in the morning or after sunset, and test the pavement with your hand first. Dogs are not allowed on the casino floor, in restaurants or at the pools at any of the hotels above, with the exception of service animals.
