All-Inclusive Las Vegas: The Hottest New Amenity is a Fixed Price

Fast Track

• MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Circa Resort & Casino, and others are now offering all-inclusive packages, with prices starting as low as $104 per person.
• Bundled deals typically cover meals, drinks, resort fees, entertainment, and parking — much like a cruise ship, but with an entire city still at your doorstep.
• The best package for you depends on your priorities: value (MGM), unlimited drinks (Caesars), budget access (The Plaza), pool experience (Circa), or luxury (Resorts World).
• Unlike a cruise, you're never locked in — the rest of Las Vegas is always right outside the door.

Anything in the middle of the Mojave Desert—never mind a string of stationary structures lining one very well-known boulevard—may appear to have very little in common with a cruise ship. But this summer, that gap is narrowing fast, with the biggest casino operators in Las Vegas—MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment among them—now going all-in on the concept of all-inclusive. Much like you'd expect on an ocean sailing, you pay your fixed rate, show up, and everything's laid on. All that's left to do is have a good time.

The idea behind the All-Inclusive deals

For years, Las Vegas vacations have been delivered in a format like any resort destination: book your room, then add on dinners, shows, resort fees, parking, poolside cocktails. Costs can add up fast. 

Knowing exactly what your vacation costs before you arrive used to be the exclusive appeal of a cruise or a Club Med. Headed into Summer 2026, Las Vegas is in on it too — with bundled meals, drinks, shows, and more from the city's biggest operators. Pay once, enjoy everything. Don’t do math on your vacation.

What the deals actually look like

MGM Resorts launched the most talked-about version in late March 2026: an all-inclusive experience at Luxor and Excalibur starting at $330 plus tax for two guests over two nights. The package includes resort fees, three meals per day at MGM restaurants (Diablo's Cantina, the MGM Grand Buffet, Tom's Watch Bar), a beer or glass of wine per meal, two show tickets (Carrot Top, Blue Man Group, Mac King, Thunder from Down Under, or the Australian Bee Gees), two Big Apple Coaster rides, and self-parking. No blackout dates, nights are stackable, and MGM Rewards members still earn tier credits. MGM estimates the à la carte value at $688–$808—a savings of roughly $300–$430.

Caesars Entertainment followed, announcing its Inclusive Summer Package for stays at Harrah's Las Vegas, The LINQ Hotel, and Flamingo Las Vegas, running April through August 2026. Starting at $200 per night for one guest (add $100 per night per additional guest), the deal covers a standard room with resort fees and taxes already included, two meals per day at restaurants helmed by Gordon Ramsay, Bobby Flay, and Guy Fieri, unlimited well drinks and house wine at select bars, two anytime tickets to the High Roller Observation Wheel, 20% off pool cabana and daybed rentals, and complimentary self-parking. The unlimited drinks policy is the thing to pay attention to here: if you plan to spend any real time at the bar, Caesars' package pulls ahead of MGM's one-drink-per-meal model.

Circa Resort & Casino, the adults-only (21+) Downtown Las Vegas property that owns one of the most spectacular pool experiences in the city, has brought back its All-In Summer Hotel Package—$400 for a two-night midweek stay, available for bookings through September 10. That flat rate covers a single king room, $100 in dining credits usable across six Circa restaurants (including Barry's Downtown Prime, Saginaw's Delicatessen, and 8 East), $100 in beverage credits at Circa's bars and lounges, and— the headline amenity—a reserved daybed at Stadium Swim, the resort's 143-foot-screen pool amphitheater, with no minimum spend required. Resort fees and taxes are included. If the pool is the whole point of your summer trip, this is your package.

The Plaza Hotel & Casino on Downtown Las Vegas' Fremont Street actually got there first, piloting an all-inclusive package in summer 2024 and extending it based on demand ever since. For 2026 it starts at just $104 per person — the most accessible entry point into the all-inclusive Vegas experiment by a wide margin — with meals, resort fees, and a 25% discount on rooftop pool cocktails included.

Meanwhile, at Resorts World, the Conrad Complete add-on is the luxury entry on the list. A flat nightly fee layered on top of your room rate buys prix-fixe dinners at five on-property restaurants, private club access with breakfast and cocktails, priority entry to the five-and-a-half-acre pool complex, and complimentary entry to Zouk Nightclub. Think of it as buying the ability to skip every "where are we eating tonight?" conversation for the duration of your stay.

And over at Westgate, the Show & Stay Package bundles a room, two breakfast buffets, free parking, a $100 spa credit on stays of two nights or more, and a 25% discount on tickets to resident performers like Barry Manilow and Frankie Valli.

Vegas vs. the Cruise Ship—and Why Vegas Wins

The thing about all-inclusive cruises and resorts that people tend not to think about until they're in the middle of one—that floating buffet, that private beach in The Bahamas, or whatever else it is you're excited for? Once you're in, you're in—anchored to one boat or one hotel, which is paradise or monotony depending on your personality after Day 3.

An all-inclusive vacation in the middle of a city like Las Vegas, however? The city is still the attraction. You're not locked inside your hotel, which definitely won't float away and leave you behind because you were out having too much fun, in one of the most entertainment-dense places on earth.

The rest of the Strip — the other casinos, the restaurants you didn't include, the spontaneous detours — is still right outside the door. You can still spend more if you want. But you don't have to.

You also don't need a seasick bag — unless you do one too many rides on the New York, New York rollercoaster. (Only the first two are free for package holders, remember.)

How to Make the Most of It

The math works best when you show up ready to use what you've paid for. A quick guide:

• MGM’s deal is the best bet for those who get excited by a good value. No blackout dates, stackable nights, and the most comprehensive bundle currently on the Strip, with easy-to-verify savings of $300–$430 over à la carte.
• Is the party your priority? Choose Caesars—the unlimited well drinks and house wine policy at Harrah's, LINQ, and Flamingo is a genuine differentiator.
• Circa is the one for pool lovers—the reserved Stadium Swim daybed alone makes this package stand out, and $200 in combined dining and beverage credits gives you real flexibility across six restaurants and five bars. Best of all, it's an adults-only property, so the vibe stays sharp.
• The Plaza is the one for the most budget-conscious— at $104 per person, it's the friendliest entry point. Plus, Fremont Street brings its own energy to the bundle, gratis.
• Luxury lovers, head for Resorts World, where the Conrad Complete package makes the luxury experience frictionless.  

One final note: don't pay for meals you won't eat. Before you book, be honest about how much you'll use what's bundled — the savings only materialize if you show up hungry. Also ask about end dates when you book; Caesars runs through August 2026, and Circa's package is valid through September 10.
