Ranking › How we rank
Method and money
How we rank the hotels, and how we earn
Six criteria, weighted
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel | 25% | rooms and suites, published room count, pool, spa, fitness, what is closed |
| Casino floor | 20% | published size, slots, tables, poker, high-limit |
| Entertainment | 15% | theatre size and calendar |
| Dining | 15% | range and ambition of restaurants |
| Location & access | 15% | transit, airport, parking, what is around it |
| Transparency | 10% | how much the resort publishes about itself; secondary-sourced facts cost points |
Every figure on a profile carries its source: the resort's own pages first, our verified research files second, and a labelled secondary source (Wikipedia, trade listings) only where the resort publishes nothing. A blank stays blank. Transparency is a scored criterion because a resort that will not say how many rooms it has makes your decision harder, and that should cost it.
What the ranking is not
It is not a measure of odds, payouts or "loose slots"; we do not rate gambling. It is not sponsored: no hotel, operator or gaming corporation pays for a position, and none has seen the list before publication.
How this site earns
- You read, you choose, you click through. Links marked "Visit the hotel" go to the hotel's own site. They are plain links; we are not paid for them.
- Or you send us the trip. The "Plan my stay" form sends your dates and requirements to our desk, which replies with the one or two hotels that fit and the current rate for your nights.
- If you book through our travel partner, the partner pays us a commission. It does not change your price. If booking direct is better, we say so and earn nothing on that stay.
- We advertise this guide. The ads are paid for by the publisher named in the footer; their purpose is to bring people to this page and the form above.
