The Villas at Caesars Palace Ranked No. 1 Casino Hotel in Inaugural AAA List

The Villas at Caesars Palace has taken the top spot in AAA’s first-ever ranking of casino hotels and resorts across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The exclusive enclave placed No. 1 out of 161 AAA-rated casino properties evaluated in the inaugural list while retaining its prestigious AAA Five Diamond designation.

The recognition accompanies several AAA Diamond awards earned across Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas portfolio. The Villas retained its AAA Five Diamond status for the second consecutive year—a distinction achieved by less than 1% of the nearly 23,000 AAA Diamond-rated hotels evaluated. AAA’s Five Diamond designation is reserved for properties that demonstrate world-class luxury, exceptional service, and highly personalized guest experiences.

Three additional Caesars Entertainment properties at Caesars Palace also earned Diamond ratings. The Vanderpump Hotel, which opened earlier this year, received its first AAA Four Diamond designation within its first three months of operation. Meanwhile, Caesars Palace and Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace each retained their AAA Four Diamond ratings for the second consecutive year.

“The AAA recognition earned by the Villas at 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, senior vice president 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.
