Travel to Las Vegas
NoMad Las Vegas
On the top four floors of the Park MGM complex, the NoMad Hotel is one of the premier European-style hotels in Las Vegas. A blend of European architecture with a New York-sensibility, some rooms have old-fashioned pedestal bathtubs next to the beds, as well as leather headboards, velvet carpeting, and minibars converted out of old steamer trunks. The amenities mimic the original NoMad Hotel in New York. The feel of the hotel is a change of pace from the typical Las Vegas hotel experience, providing spacious and luxurious rooms that cannot be found elsewhere on the Las Vegas Strip. The NoMad Casino is another attraction. The first NoMad Casino was built under the original Tiffany glass ceiling of the Park MGM. It is also one of the few casinos that still has a traditional high-roller floor, similar to older European casinos. The NoMad likewise boasts a world-renowned bar, the NoMad Bar, which was ranked as the best bar in the United States and third internationally by the 2017 World’s Best Bar Awards. For an upscale dining experience, guests at the NoMad need not travel far. The NoMad Restaurant is next to the casino. It stands out for its bookshelves filled with more than 25,000 books, a touch inspired by The Library at NoMad New York. The immersive dining experience connects guests with the rich history of the NoMad, striking a good balance between luxurious and affordable dining.
