Las Vegas is famous for many items! Besides gambling, wedding, conventions, destination resorts, Las Vegas is famous for the size of the hotels.
Below we have listed the 20 largest hotels in the world, 15 of the 20 are located within a two-mile radius within Las Vegas. Also, 21 of the top 28 hotels are located within the same two-mile radius.
Ranked number one, the First World Hotel has topped the list. It is not located in Las Vegas, but in Malaysia. Pictured on the right, this multicolor structure is a real eye catcher.
The MGM Grand is also pictured to the right, it reigned as the number one largest hotel for years, now taking the number two seat.

26. Imperial Palace Las Vegas 2,635
27. Harrah's Las Vegas Las Vegas 2,576
28. Stratosphere Las Vegas 2,444
Please Note:
MGM Grand is not the largest hotel, because the additional rooms they count are co owned by Turnberry and even though they are on the same property, they are not connected, do not have a casino, therefore, we do not consider it part of the MGM Grand Casino hotel.
The Venetian and the Palazzo are two separate casinos next door to each other and not only do they have different names, they are marketed and portrayed as two stand alone resorts. Therefore, we do not count them as one casino, even though they have ownership under the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
The same reasons apply for counting the Wynn Resort and the Encore Las Vegas as two casinos. Even though they are next door to each other, they are marketed and portrayed as two stand alone resorts.
Mandalay Bay and THEhotel are considered one hotel because they operate and market together.
