THE VILLAS Caesars Palace tops AAA casino hotel rankings13 October 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- THE VILLAS Caesars Palace, the exclusive collection of luxury accommodations within the iconic Las Vegas Strip resort, was named Number One casino hotel among 161 AAA-rated casino hotels and resorts across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean in the inaugural Top 10 ranking. THE VILLAS Caesars Palace also retained its prestigious AAA Five Diamond designation for the second consecutive year. Caesars Palace and Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace once again earned the AAA Four Diamond designation. The Vanderpump Hotel, the newest boutique hotel on The Strip, achieved its first AAA Four Diamond designation within its first three months of operation. Less than 1% of nearly 23,000 AAA Diamond-designated hotels achieve Five Diamond status, recognizing properties that deliver world-class luxury, exceptional service and highly personalized guest experiences. AAA Four Diamond properties are recognized for upscale accommodations, elevated amenities and exceptional attention to detail. “The AAA recognition earned by THE VILLAS Caesars Palace, Caesars Palace, Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace and The Vanderpump Hotel is a testament to the passion and dedication of our Team Members,” said Terrence O'Donnell, SVP and General Manager of the resorts. “This year, we celebrated six decades of Caesars Palace and welcomed The Vanderpump Hotel to our portfolio, showcasing both our legacy and our continued evolution. This distinction reflects our commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for our guests, and we're proud to see that effort recognized by one of the travel industry's most respected organizations." To earn AAA Diamond recognition, hotels undergo rigorous evaluations, including unannounced inspections and anonymous overnight stays. Properties are assessed on service, accommodations, amenities and overall guest experience, with annual re-evaluations to ensure standards are maintained.
