Typically, when we think of casinos, we think of how they make for very wealthy casino owners, but sometimes you just feel lucky. If that’s you, and you’re heading to Las Vegas anytime soon, you’ll want to be strategic about where you spend your money. Casino.org did their due diligence and found the 15 luckiest casinos in Vegas, using keyword searches within Tripadvisor reviews to determine its findings.
As for the terms Casino.org actually searched for, these included: lucky, luck, won, winning, success, jackpot, and hand pay. The website made sure to confirm that there weren’t any instances where the keywords were being counted more than once in a single person’s review. Once the team was done computing the numbers, they calculated the percentage of any time a reviewer mentioned a luck-related sentiment in each casino’s total Tripadvisor reviews. They only focused on each casino’s Tripadvisor page, and left out reviews from the casino’s hotel and resort Tripadvisor pages. Lastly, the data itself was gathered in November 2023.
Here are the top 15 luckiest casinos to keep in mind during your next trip to Las Vegas.
1. The Mirage
The Mirage leads the pack with the highest probability of winning at 6.03%. If you’re not busy running the tables to see how far you can take a potential string of good luck, you can always check out Center Stage Comedy, which hosts a rotating list of hilarious comedians.
2. The Venetian
The Venetian has a notable 5.92% of its reviews mentioning something related to luck. If you can’t find the luck that you need, you can always hop on a (pricey) gondola ride and venture around the canals.

Rounding up the pack is Resorts World Las Vegas with 0.78%. So, a last resort if you’re at all superstitious and believe in the whole luck thing. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.
