The all-suite, non-gaming Alexis Resort, nestled inside winding pathways surrounded by lush landscaping and three sparkling pools, offers a tranquil oasis not far from the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip.

Two-story white stucco buildings house almost 500 well-appointed guest suites, each of which features a European wet bar, refrigerator, coffeemaker and high-speed Internet access. Suites are available with a king or queen bed and pull-out sofa, or two double beds. The Regal, Majestic, Crown and Monarch suites offer all of the expected accoutrements and then some: gas fireplaces, dining tables, marble bars, two-and-a-half bathrooms and upstairs lofts.

With 50,000-square-feet of flexible function space, the Alexis Resort and Villas can accommodate up to 1,800 guests for conferences, rooftop receptions, trade shows, theme parties and awards ceremonies.

The resort's "Concierge at Your Service" will order flowers and gift baskets, book spa and salon services, find babysitters, and make dinner and show reservations for you.

This Vegas hideaway has the distinct advantage of being located directly across the street from one of Las Vegas' more popular, off-Strip hotel-casinos, the Hard Rock, where you can dine with rock stars after seeing them perform in The Joint.
