3 of the Top Las Vegas Gambling Casinos

By definition, a casino is a place with table games, not just slots/video poker. If a casino was defined by a place with just a slot machine, every convenience store in Las Vegas would be a casino. At last count, there were 29 casinos on the legendary Las Vegas Strip; 10 close to the Strip, 12 in downtown Las Vegas, and 25 in the Greater Las Vegas Area. Not all casinos are created equal, though. Some offer different games from others. For example, if you love bingo, you’ll have to visit Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa.2 Many of the largest hotels/casinos in the world can be found on the Las Vegas Strip. Some amazing casinos can also be found off the Strip. The following are the three most popular casinos in Las Vegas.

M Resort Spa Casino is located a few minutes south of the famous Las Vegas Strip on Interstate 15. The casino offers more than 92,000 square feet of gaming, including over 1,800 slot machines, 64 table games, and a private high-limit area. It is also the first casino in the United States to offer in-running betting at its race and sports book. When you’re done playing the slots or Baccarat, you can stay in one of the 390 resort rooms and suites.3

The D Las Vegas

The D Las Vegas is located off the Strip in downtown Las Vegas. The downtown casino is one of the only two-level casinos in Las Vegas. The first floor has a contemporary feel with slots and table games, dancing dealers, 10-times odds on dice and blackjack tables that pay 3:2. The second floor has a vintage feel with a large number of classic coin-operated slot machines and a Sigma Derby machine (simulated horse racing). The second floor vintage casino is also home to a William Hill Sports Book. The 34-storey D Casino Hotel also has 629 deluxe rooms, pool, restaurants, entertainment, and nightclubs.4

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. The Cosmopolitan’s modern facilities include a 100,000-square-foot casino with 81 individual classic table games like blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, fortune pai gow poker, and ultimate Texas hold ’em. It also offers a wide variety of slot machines—1,478 reel spinning, video reel, and video poker machines with denominations ranging from $0.01 to $500.00.5 In 2015, the 2,995-room resort was named to the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List as one of the “Top Hotels in the World.”6

Taxable Games in Las Vegas

When visiting Las Vegas, winnings over $1,200 are subject to a 30% withholding tax. Games in which winnings are considered taxable income by the IRS include slots, gambling, poker, pari-mutuel, or sports betting. For example, if you win $2,000 on the slots or betting on the horses, you only receive $1,600 because the IRS keeps the rest. That said, not all games are subject to the 30% withholding tax. Games exempt from being considered taxable winnings include baccarat, blackjack, craps, roulette, and big 6 wheel. Finally, due to individual tax treaties, the gambling income won by those living in certain countries is also exempt from the 30% withholding tax. These countries are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. All other countries are subject to the 30% withholding tax, with Malta being the one exception (gambling winnings are taxed just 10% for visitors from Malta).
