Artisan Hotel

This 4-star hotel is located just north of the Strip and is truly something else. With original artwork by Van Gogh, Cezanne and Renoir (just to name a few) throughout the property, the Artisan Hotel offers uniquely decorated rooms with funky decor. Free wifi, flatscreens and iPod docking stations are included.

There is a farm-to-table restaurant and a trendy lounge bar on-site, where the buzzing nightlife scene takes off on the weekends. The European-style pool area is topless-optional from sunset to sundown.

The lack of an on-site casino is a welcome change for a Vegas hotel. Some room packages have intimacy love kits and copies of the Kamasutra. This is one of the steamiest and most popular gay hotels in Las Vegas.
