Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about this catalog — tap a question.

How many casinos are in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas has 64 casinos with table games, according to the market’s official registry (NGCB). On top of those the licence list has 42 slots-only halls, 39 taverns and retail locations, and 48 race & sports books — 193 locations in all. Closed and announced venues stay as archive cards and are not counted. Nevada Gaming Control Board nonrestricted licences in Las Vegas. Restricted (bar and route) licences and tribal casinos are not included.

What is the gambling age in Las Vegas?

You must be 21 or older to enter a gaming floor in Las Vegas. Carry a valid government-issued photo ID.

What is a shortlist on CasinoList?

A shortlist is a curated set of venues for one visitor situation — famous floors, poker rooms, free parking, downtown walks. Each shortlist is its own page with an explicit ranking rule, not a dump of every licence row.

How should I pick a casino from this catalog?

Start with a shortlist that matches the night — first-timer, poker, downtown, free parking — then open two or three profiles for hours, parking and floor size. Use filters on a shortlist page to narrow further.

How is this shortlist ranked?

Ordered by opening year — oldest first

Where do table and slot counts come from?

For Las Vegas, table-game and slot totals come from official reports published by Nevada Gaming Control Board and related registry files — the same numbers the state publishes. Profile pages show the source and check date.

Do you list online casinos or betting apps?

No. CasinoList covers land-based, licensed floors you can walk into. Online casinos, apps and grey-market venues stay off the catalog.

Can a casino pay to rank higher?

No. Rankings and shortlist membership are never sold. Ads policy and editorial rules are published on our methodology page.

How often is the Las Vegas catalog updated?

We refresh registry-backed inventory when new official reports land, and re-check operator facts on a desk schedule. Each profile shows when a field was last verified.

Is free parking guaranteed on the free-parking shortlist?

Free parking means our visit block records free self-park as published. Fees and validation rules can change — confirm on site or on the operator’s page before you drive in.
