Best for lively Strip access, on-site casino gaming, multiple pools and a wide range of restaurants and nightlife.

Best for quieter, upscale stays close to CityCenter with a non-gaming atmosphere and a full-service spa.
When Park MGM Las Vegas wins: pick Park MGM if you want a full-tilt Vegas experience — a casino, a 5,200-seat theater (Dolby Live), three outdoor pools including an adults-only pool, and a long list of restaurants and bars that suit families and night-life seekers.
When Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas wins: choose Waldorf Astoria if you want a quieter, more restrained luxury stay without a casino on-site, plus a strong focus on spa, service and soundproofed rooms in CityCenter.
Bottom line: both hotels are within a short walk of each other and of CityCenter — Park MGM is the busy, amenity-dense option for entertainment and dining; Waldorf Astoria is the quieter, upscale alternative for travelers who want luxury without the casino floor.
