1) West Spa Suite — best overall for space and a nicer bathroom layout
Why it ranks: The West Spa Suite is the only suite-type room listed and features a king bed with expanded seating and a vanity/pass-through arrangement that separates sleeping and bathroom areas, giving you more space and privacy than standard rooms.
Who it's for: Couples, small families who want one-room suite comfort, and travelers who prefer a room with a more suite-like layout rather than a standard guest room.
- Bed: 1 King Bed
- Larger footprint and separate vanity/bathroom pass-through (visuals show added space and seating)
- Good choice if you want a single-room upgrade without booking a larger event suite
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Vanity/pass-through | Adds bathroom privacy and counters for two guests |
| Seating area | More space to relax or work without using the bed |
| King bed only | Best for single travelers or couples wanting a dedicated king |
2) West Premium Room — best upgraded standard room
Why it ranks: West Premium Room is listed separately from basic West rooms and shows upgraded headboards, seating and clearer styling in property photos, making it a good pick when you want an upgraded finish without booking a suite.
Who it's for: Travelers who want a more polished standard room experience — good for solo travelers and couples who appreciate slightly better décor and furnishings.
- Bed options: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Visible upgraded finishes (teal headboard, seating area) in property photos
- Typically located in the West tower alongside other West room categories
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Better décor and seating than Classic rooms | Not a full suite |
| King or 2-queen options | May have limited river or pool views depending on placement |
| Good middle ground on price vs. comfort | No guaranteed separate living area |
3) Room, River View (West) — best for Colorado River / Casino Drive views
Why it ranks: Room, River View (West) is the clear choice if seeing the Colorado River or the Casino Drive strip is a priority. River views put you facing Laughlin’s waterfront and the nearby casino strip activity.
Who it's for: Guests who want a scenic outlook, people who enjoy evening riverwalks or quick access to river taxis and neighboring casinos.
- Bed options: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Best for photo opportunities and riverfront people-watching
- May be on higher floors for better river visibility
| What you get | Notes |
|---|---|
| River-facing windows | Better natural light and river views |

| Same in-room amenities as West Deluxe/West Premium | View is the main differentiator |
4) Room, Pool View (West) — best for pool access and easy poolside time
Why it ranks: Room, Pool View (West) positions you adjacent to the hotel's outdoor pool area, which is useful if you plan to use the year-round heated pool, hot tub, poolside bar or rented cabanas frequently.
Who it's for: Travelers focused on pool time (families or sun-seekers) who prefer to be close to the pool and poolside dining.
- Bed options: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Pool access: outdoor year-round heated pool and hot tub; cabanas available for a surcharge

| Heated outdoor pool | Available year-round |
| Poolside bar | Drinks and snacks near the pool |
| Cabanas | Available for a surcharge |
5) West Deluxe / West Luxury / West Classic — best standard choices depending on budget
Why they rank: These West-room categories (West Classic Room, West Deluxe Room, West Luxury Room and their smoking versions) cover the bulk of the hotel's inventory and give a predictable range from basic to upgraded standard rooms.
Who they're for: Budget-conscious travelers, families who need two beds, and anyone who wants a reliable, straightforward room close to the casino and hotel amenities.
- Bed options vary across these types: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds in most categories
- Smoking and non-smoking options are available — request preference when booking
- Choose Deluxe or Luxury for slightly better furnishings; Classic for the most basic standard rate
| Room name | Typical use |
|---|---|
| West Classic Room / West Classic Smoking Room | Lowest-tier standard room; basic furnishings |
| West Deluxe Room / West Deluxe Smoking Room | Mid-tier standard room; better finishes than Classic |
| West Luxury Room / West Luxury Smoking Room | Higher-tier standard room; best standard-room finishes |
6) East Deluxe Room / East View Room — best on the East tower for quieter nights
Why it ranks: East-side rooms (East Deluxe Room, East View Room and smoking variants) are an alternative to West rooms. They are commonly chosen by travelers who want a quieter location away from the casino levels that front Casino Drive.
Who it's for: Light sleepers, families, and guests who prefer window shutters or a traditional mid-range guest room layout.
- East Deluxe Room bed options: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- East View Room variants provide views from the East side of the property
- East Deluxe Smoking Room and East Deluxe Room share similar in-room features; request smoking preference on booking

| East View Room / East View Smoking Room | If you prefer an east-facing outlook |
| East Deluxe Smoking Room | Available if you require a smoking room |
7) Room Type Assigned on Arrival & Smoking-specific rooms — flexible or specific needs
Why it ranks: 'Room Type Assigned on Arrival' can be a lower-cost, flexible option if you're willing to accept whatever room is available; smoking-designated rooms are available for guests who specifically request that preference.
Who it's for: Travelers on a strict budget, or those who must have a smoking room (note that non-smoking rooms are also available).
- Room Type Assigned on Arrival: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds — exact placement and view unknown until check-in
- Smoking room categories exist in both East and West towers (e.g., West Classic Smoking Room, West Luxury Smoking Room, East Deluxe Smoking Room, East View Smoking Room)
- If you have a strong preference for view, floor or non-smoking status, booking a specific named room type is recommended
| Option | Good for |
|---|---|
| Room Type Assigned on Arrival | Lowest rates if you accept whatever is available |
| Smoking room categories | Smokers who need a designated smoking room |
| Booking a named room type | Best way to lock in view/tower preference |
