Whether they evoke the magic of Venice, specialise in couples’ spa treatments or just offer a quiet and sophisticated (read: child-free) setting, these luxurious accommodations on the Strip work hard to keep the romance alive. Chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne are optional. Here's our pick of the most romantic hotels in Las Vegas.
Wynn Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
9Telegraph expert rating
This is the hotel that ushered in the new era of elevated standards in Las Vegas. The interiors are an almost overwhelming mix of gleaming marble floors, arched dome ceilings, gilt-edged staircases and the most impressive floral displays, as if Willy Wonka was suddenly in the flower business. Even the entry-level rooms here are a knockout: beds are facing the windows instead of being perpendicular to them, and given the floor-to-ceiling design of said windows, it makes for a scenic time waking up. SW Steakhouse makes for a great spot for a romantic dinner, with the 'Lake of Dreams' water feature out its window that has nightly light and sound shows.

The Palazzo
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
9Telegraph expert rating
The Palazzo has all the Italian romance and flair of the neighbouring, more famous Venetian hotel, but in a setting that scores higher on unassuming, understated luxury. Expressions of romanticism are contained to multi-storey water features and marble statues under the striking glass domes. Amid the shops is the Canyon Ranch Spa, one of the world's largest day spas, and an elegant pool deck. Guests love the regal, all-suite accommodations with their split-level allure. Food-wise, there's a high-end bistro experience at Bouchons and steak-lead fine dining at Wolfgang Puck's CUT, plus an overwhelming amount of options at The Venetian.

The Venetian Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
9Telegraph expert rating
When Vegas goes all out to replicate a destination, it can be a mesmerising scene. The Venetian’s canals and architecture are astonishingly well-rendered tributes to the Italian city’s most famous landmarks, including the Doge Palace façade, Rialto Bridge and the Campanile di San Marco tower. Guests can glide on authentic gondolas amid Venetian street scenes and under bridges, serenaded by the pilot's operatics. The all-suite accommodations provide even more to love. Apart from endless shops and restaurants housed in the complex, the hotel impresses with an ultra-decadent spa, complete with a dreamy pool deck.

Bellagio
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
9Telegraph expert rating
As one of the most elegant places to stay in the city, the Bellagio’s dancing fountains are among Las Vegas' most recognisable sights. As well as the huge casino and shopping, the hotel boasts perhaps the best selection of pools in the city, with indulgent cabana and day bed options aplenty. Rooms either face the fountain or the garden, with decadent marble bathrooms and eucalyptus wood furnishings. There are 20 dining options for every budget: the standout is probably the artistic refinement of Picasso, where you have a rare opportunity to dine in full view of the artist's original works.

This vibrant high-rise casino hotel is conveniently located at the CityCenter complex. Staying here puts you within reach of all that the Strip offers, though there's plenty to do without ever leaving the resort itself.

The Cosmopolitan
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
9Telegraph expert rating
Being midway along The Strip comes with a host of benefits. The Cosmopolitan enjoys impressive views of its high class neighbours, such as the Bellagio (and its fountains) and Paris (and its tower). Since the original concept for the building was residential, even the entry-level rooms feel relatively spacious and livable, dressed in subtle and sexy modern art and photography. The relaxation opportunities are comprehensive, starting with three distinct pool areas, two of which are casual, one of which functions as the hotel's lively Day Club. The 20 restaurants will appeal to guests looking for something a little above the usual casino fare. Read expert review From £85 per night
