Permanent Closure Notice
The Cromwell Las Vegas has permanently closed and has been rebranded as The Vanderpump Hotel, which is now accepting reservations ahead of its May 8 opening.
The Cromwell Las Vegas is a centrally located boutique hotel designed for guests who prioritize nightlife, walkability, and a smaller footprint over resort amenities. It works best as a short-stay base for evenings out rather than as a place to spend downtime.
While The Cromwell offered a boutique, nightlife-driven experience, the new Vanderpump Hotel is expected to build on that foundation with a stronger focus on design, atmosphere, and a more curated overall experience.
What The Cromwell Actually Is
The Cromwell is not a full-scale resort. It’s a compact, centrally located boutique hotel with a heavy emphasis on nightlife, dining, and social spaces. Its size is part of the appeal for guests who want something more intimate than mega-resorts but it also defines its limitations.
Sitting at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, the hotel offers some of the best walkability on the Strip. Most guests treat it as a base for nearby casinos, shows, and clubs rather than a destination in itself.
Travelers who like a boutique setting but want a quieter, more refined experience sometimes prefer alternatives like Nobu Hotel inside Caesars Palace.
Travelers considering the same location today should focus on The Vanderpump Hotel, which replaces The Cromwell and aims to offer a more design-driven and modernized version of the same boutique concept.
Rooms & Comfort
Rooms at The Cromwell are modern and well-designed but noticeably smaller than those at most Strip hotels.
Décor leans contemporary with darker tones and boutique styling. Noise is the most consistent complaint; sound from the nightclub, rooftop venues, and surrounding Strip activity can carry into rooms, especially on weekends. Light sleepers or guests with early mornings may find this disruptive.
Casino & Public Spaces
The casino floor is compact and intimate, offering a contrast to the sprawling layouts of nearby resorts. It feels social and active but lacks quiet corners or extended gaming areas.
Public spaces prioritize nightlife flow over lingering. Seating is limited, and guests tend to move quickly between rooms, bars, and neighboring properties.
Pool & Outdoor Area
The Cromwell’s rooftop pool is social and music-driven rather than relaxation-focused. It functions more like a daytime party venue than a traditional hotel pool.
Guests seeking a calm pool experience or extended outdoor lounging should plan to visit nearby resorts instead.
Location & Getting Around
Location is The Cromwell’s strongest asset. It offers immediate access to Caesars Palace, Flamingo, and Bellagio (via a short walk), along with numerous dining and nightlife options.
The trade-off is constant activity. The same central positioning that makes the hotel convenient also ensures it rarely feels quiet.
Who This Hotel Is For / Who It’s Not For
Good fit for:
- Couples seeking a boutique, nightlife-forward stay
- Travelers prioritizing Strip walkability
- Short stays focused on evenings out
Not a good fit for:
- Families or group travel
- Light sleepers
- Guests seeking resort amenities or quiet spaces
Final Take
The Cromwell delivered a focused, nightlife-centric experience in one of the Strip’s best locations, trading space and tranquility for proximity and energy.
That experience is now being replaced by The Vanderpump Hotel, which is expected to build on the same boutique foundation while shifting toward a more design-driven and lifestyle-focused stay. Travelers considering this location should focus on the new property going forward.
