Croxford Las Vegas Review: LXR Suite, Free Night & Hidden Gems

Croxford Las Vegas was our last stop in the five-hotel Vegas series, and we ended on a high note. Vincent used his Hilton annual free night certificate to book the most basic city view room, and we walked away with a complimentary entertainment suite upgrade on the 64th floor. Best finish we could have asked for.

The full series: Waldorf Astoria, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Conrad, and Croxford.

About the Property

Croxford Las Vegas at Resorts World is an LXR property, Hilton's ultra-luxury collection. It is the most premium of the three hotels in the Resorts World complex (Hilton Las Vegas, Conrad, and Croxford), and the difference shows the moment you walk into the lobby.

The lobby at Croxford is grand, quiet, and beautifully designed. Coming from Conrad's lobby just a building away, the contrast was immediate. More refined, more exclusive, more composed.

Like Conrad, Croxford guests have access to the full Resorts World complex: the casino floor, luxury shopping, Famous Food Street Eats food court, and dozens of restaurants, all connected indoors.

Booking and Check-In

Vincent used his annual free night certificate from the Amex Hilton Aspire card to book a basic city view room. Not a dollar spent on the room itself.

We checked in early around 11:30am and were upgraded to a strip view entertainment suite on the 64th floor. Floors 64 through 66 are exclusive to Croxford suites and have their own private elevator. That detail alone set the tone for the stay.

Room Tour: Entertainment Suite, Strip View

The private elevator: Only floors 64-66 have access to the Croxford suite elevator. It opens directly into the suite corridor. Quiet, exclusive, and it smells incredible up there.

Bedroom:

• King bed with three pillows, firm and very comfortable
• Massage gun left in the room as an amenity (first time we have seen this at any hotel)
• Large statement lamp with a grand design
• Around 60-inch smart TV, very smooth
• Wireless phone charger, USB-A, and USB-C at the bedside
• Drape and lighting controls by the bed
• First of three temperature controls located here

Closets:

• First closet: safe, shoehorn (a nice small touch), slippers (same cushy style as Waldorf Astoria and Conrad), luggage space, thick robe
• Second closet: hanging space and empty drawers
• Third: iron and ironing board

Bathroom: Everything in the bathroom is gold trim. Not gaudy, just consistently refined.

• His and her sinks with Mojave Ghost hand wash and lotion
• Cotton swabs, mouthwash, dental kit, shaving kit
• Makeup remover provided here (Conrad did not include this)
• Manicure kit: nail filer, tweezers, and nail clipper. This came at the right time because Vincent had been complaining about needing tweezers and we forgot to pack them. Problem solved.
• Bathtub: same size as Conrad's suite, fits two people tightly, one person very comfortably
• Bath amenities with different scent options including a bath caviar (a new one for us)
• Walk-in shower: large, clean, no corrosion, with a built-in sitting area
• Not a full waterfall showerhead but it pours down nicely
• Gold handheld shower
• Mojave Ghost products in the shower
• Toto toilet, gold trim throughout
• Second set of drape, shear, and light controls near the bathroom

Powder room: A separate powder room at the suite entrance, with gold trim, Mojave hand soap, and a toilet. More spacious than expected for an entryway powder room.

Living room: The living room is genuinely big. The sofa is so deep that you can sit on it and still have a full seat of space in front of you.

• Large sectional sofa with room for several people
• Croxford chocolate toffee left as a welcome treat (very good)
• Two decorative mirrors
• Second temperature control
• Drape, shear, and light controls for the living room
• Envelopes and hotel stationery on the side table

Entertainment setup:

• Around 60-inch smart TV
• Standalone Bluetooth speaker included (this is likely why it is called the entertainment suite, the room's built-in TV speakers do not do justice to a large space)

Mini kitchen area:

• Chandelier overhead, high-top seating for four
• Small but deep gold-trim sink
• Two complimentary water bottles (can request more from the front desk)
• Large heavy-duty refrigerator set to 34°F and actually working (Conrad's was broken)
• Nespresso machine with green tea and coffee pods, plus two espresso cups
• Mini bar with alcohol, soft drinks, and energy drinks
• Gluten snack pack included (not something we saw at Conrad)
• $8 Coke (same as Conrad, notably cheaper than Bellagio's $13)
• Additional mini refrigerator with more alcohol and drink selections
• Third temperature control for this area

Three temperature controls total in this suite. Never experienced that before.

Strip view: From the suite, you can see the full Resorts World pool complex below and the strip beyond. The view is excellent.

Turndown Service

When we came back to the room at night, the lights were on and the bed was turned down. They also tidied up our cables, which was an unexpectedly thoughtful detail. A chocolate toffee was left on the nightstand.

Small touches, but it felt more complete than Conrad's turndown, which barely happened.

---

Croxford Exclusive: Lobby Light Bites

From 6am to 11am, Croxford offers complimentary coffee, teas, pastries, and fruits in the lobby for guests. This is exclusive to Croxford and not available at Conrad or Hilton. A nice way to start the morning without needing to plan breakfast.

---

Fitness Center and Pool

Gym: Open 5am to 8pm daily. Spacious with high ceilings, solid cardio and lifting equipment. Same setup and quality as Conrad.

Pool: The Resorts World pool complex is shared across all three hotels: five themed pool experiences across nine separate pool areas, cabanas available for rent. Most were closed during our visit (off-season). The Athena Infinity Pool is adults only and requires an additional fee.

---

Dining

We did not book through FHR or Marriott Stars here, so we worked with what was available.

Hilton member credit update: Resorts World has expanded the dining credit options for Hilton Gold and Diamond members. You can now use the $25 per person daily credit at Dog House, Junior's, and Resorts World retail stores, an improvement from when it was limited to just Dog House.

Famous Food Street Eats (food court):

We tried the jajangmyeon from one of the artisan noodle spots. This was the Chinese-style jajang, not the Korean version we are used to. The sauce was savory and sticky rather than sweet, and served very hot. Different from what we expected, but not bad. Just know going in that it is the Chinese preparation, not Korean.

We also stopped at Tiger Sugar for a black sugar boba pearl coffee latte with cream mousse. You have to flip it upside down first and shake it before drinking. Very good. If you have a Tiger Sugar nearby or see one while traveling, go.

The Steakhouse at Circus Circus (off-property dinner):

This was our second time at this restaurant and it remains one of our favorite discoveries in Las Vegas. It is a hidden gem: most people walk through Circus Circus without knowing there is a serious steakhouse tucked inside. Vincent first heard about it from JustKidding News.

The steak is excellent and the prices are much more reasonable than comparable steakhouses on the strip. The seasoning is really good. We highly recommend making the trip here at least once if you are staying anywhere in Vegas.

Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den (speakeasy, Resorts World food court):

There is a speakeasy inside the Famous Food Street Eats food court called Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den. You interact with a golden cat figure at the entrance to get in. It is small and atmospheric, and the cocktails were genuinely excellent.

Christina got something close to a Kahlua-style drink. Vincent got a different cocktail. Both were very good. We would come back just for this bar on future Vegas trips.

---

Resorts World Shops

On our way around the complex, we also stopped into:

• Nectar Bath Treats: A plant-based, vegan bath and body shop where every product is shaped like food (donuts, gummy bears, cupcakes, seashells). The products actually turn into body wash or scrubs when you use them. The shop smells amazing. Interesting enough that we spent some time looking around even without buying anything.
• Starbucks: The one inside Resorts World has a very cool siren mural that is worth seeing.

---

Sleep Quality

The bed was excellent. Both of us said it was the best bed of the entire Vegas trip.

We asked the hotel staff about it and confirmed it is the same brand and setup as Conrad's beds. Suite and standard rooms both use the same mattress. The difference might be an additional foam topper that makes it feel especially plush, something close to our Tempur-Pedic at home in terms of comfort.

---

Final Verdict

Croxford Las Vegas was a wonderful ending to the five-hotel trip. The grand lobby, the exclusive private elevator, the manicure kit and massage gun in the room, the chocolate toffee at turndown, and the complimentary lobby bites in the morning all add up to a more considered and elevated experience than Conrad, even though the beds are identical.

The location is the same trade-off as Conrad: northern strip, need an Uber or cab to get to the main strip area. But Resorts World keeps you occupied with enough to do that it does not feel limiting.

If you have a Hilton free night certificate: Croxford is an excellent use of it. The base room is bookable with a standard certificate, and the upgrade potential (as we experienced) can put you in a suite for free.

Hidden gem of the stay: The Steakhouse at Circus Circus for dinner and Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den for cocktails. Both are worth planning around.
