I know this may seem like an odd question, but for me, going into hotels, the bathroom is the key point of "closing the sale" for me - as it is the only part of the room that you will definately use on any trip to vegas.. (as you may never use the bed, or take your items out of your luggage into the closet, depending on your trip and habits)
So which is your belief of nicest bathroom in las vegas? (and i would say that we keep it "bookable" room categories - since IIRC, there is a two person shower thing in the caesars forum penthouse villa.. although i guess it is bookable?)

Wynn and Encore have huge, and nice bathrooms, as well as great amenities. My favorite, although a little more expensive, is the MGM Skylofts, which have 2-person showers, Bulgari amenities, TVs in the mirror, etc. The bathroom itself is the size of a Manhattan apartment (That's only a slight exaggeration.).

Wynn also gets a thumbs up from me given their bath products. Nice stuff.
I also like Palazzo's bathroom. I was in a bigger suite and my bathroom was big enough to park a VW in.

if youre looking to book, budget would help.
or even specifics of what features you would be interested in.
only nonbookable = wynn ground floor fairway and apartment villas (and maybe caesars 6BR)

The Skylofts wins hands down.
That shower is big enough to throw a party in.
Turn on the Steam.
The Rainfall shower head with the side jets.
The Infinity Bathtub. With the Plasma in the wall above.
The towel warmer thats built into the towel racks.
To all of you that have not experienced the "Loft".
I would suggest you try it out for yourself.

I found the Bellagio Penthouse Suite bathroom to have the edge over the Wynn Salon Suite mainly as there were his and hers bathrooms. The Wynn is quite nice too.
For entry level suites, the Venetian's bathrooms are quite nice and are almost to the same quality of Wynn.
I actually loved the old school bathrooms in the Penthouse Suites at the Mirage -- capacious, with carpet inlay..... gold fixtures galore.... jacuzzi tub with separate stall shower....
But I agree that the SkyLofts bathroom cannot be beat -- I love the Kohler InfinitiSok tub with chromatherapy and the large steam shower.

I used to get great upgrades at this property before Marriott took it over.
Some of the Bathrooms is the suites are really gorgeous.
One-a two bedrrom suite that was bigger than most homes!Had two full baths and two half baths.The Bathroom in the master was the size of a regular hotel room with a free standing Jaccuzzi tub in the center of the room and a party size steam shower.Seperate WC of course. The tub had a beautiful view of a private garden outside the french doors of the bathroom.
Another suite had a bathroom that ran the whole length of the suite-kind of weird actually.It was done in slate with bronze fixtures.It was a little too dark and creepy-but it was stunning.
The Master Bath in a Caeser's four bedroom suite has a six person Jaccuzi tub-Very decadent!

And I thought I was the only one. I haven't stayed in many 4/5* hotels but I've stayed at PH and just recently Venetian. I thought my Venetian's bathroom was really nice, shower, bathtub, closed toilet room, double vanity and a sit down desk to fix my hair and makeup. :cool:

Expanding on this, since I have had the good fortune to stay in the Bellagio's Penthouse Suites frequently over the years:
one bathroom has a steam shower. Very handy. Shower and take a nice steam bath. It's tight, but there's a bench seat and two might fit snugly. Temp goes up to 104F or so.. Other bathroom has a small (again snug for two) jacuzzi. Two sinks in each bath, so never crowding there. For guys, great shaving gel. Amenities are Bellagio branded, but seem of excellent quality.
I'm excited to hear what the rooms (and bathrooms) at the new Aria, Vdara and the MO will be like.

The nicest "bang for the buck" bathroom I've had is the 1 bedroom suite at The Signature at MGM Grand. The jetted tub is big enough for two and my friends and I jokingly fit 3 (clothed) adults in the empty bath just because we could. It's huge which is appropriate since the bathroom is bigger than some NYC hotel rooms I've stayed in! Tub is much larger than the standard one at Encore and Encore's isn't jetted. The suite also comes with two showers since there's a smaller bath attached to the living room. Toiletries are the June Jacobs spa brand which I think is just ok, but the bottle sizes are generous.
Palms Place studio suite baths also look nice if you're into more modern decor and can live with the awkward placement of the tubs. The studio suite has theirs behind the shower and the 1 bedrooms, well, it's in the bedroom.
I believe Vdara/Aria will be providing Aveda toiletries which is nice. I'd take the Aveda over the scented June Jacobs.

Bellagio beats the Venetian IMO. Yes, there might only be one sink (but who really needs two - two toilets would be more useful), but the bath is large and marble, compared with the Venetian's undersized thing.
Small bath = BAD.

I think the Men's rooms in Paris are quite nice (full doors on the stalls!), but their sinks suck.
Mirage and Bally's offer nice facilities. I've spent a bit of quality time in the Mirage sportsbook gent's. Not a lot of traffic when the game is on. :)

I guess I should have qualified with non-public spaces lol ;)
I just got back from a couple of nights @ the PH B? (i think? it was an upgrade from the host, but it could have been a C model i guess?) in Palms Place, the shower was pretty nice (not as nice as the skyloft though), wasn't a big fan of the tub in the middle, was kind of weird to me.
I was also over at venetian at a buddy's penthouse .. the bathroom there is pretty nifty with that two person shower thing in the main bedroom, with toilet + bidet on one side of the shower, and the toiler on other side through the powder room looking thing?
curious to know though what the chairman's suite @ the venetian looks like

See, and I was going to say my bathroom in my house in Las Vegas is quite nice, but didn't want ya'll driving over here whenever you had to pee.
And regarding the Paris Hotel men's and women's restrooms...took my elderly aunt to the Paris shortly after it opened, and she had to use the facilities. I waited, like a good nephew, for her to come out but it took a long time. When she finally did exit, her comment was, "That restroom is so nice, you could live in there!"
Not exactly sure what she meant, but assumed it was nice.
