For the discerning business traveler, SLS Las Vegas‘ World™ Tower is ideal for its four-star amenities, understated elegance, and convenience—its within walking distance and the last stop on the monorail from the Convention Center. The largest of SLS Las Vegas’ three towers, the World™ Tower boasts 1,121 comfortable Philippe Starck-designed rooms. With 30,000 feet of meeting space and plenty of restaurant and retail options to impress, this is the perfect place to camp out and let clients come to you. Plus, there are two sprawling pools no one will know you’re basking in when they get your “out of the office” email reply. To get business done in style—and eat and drink well while doing it—we’ve created the ultimate World Tower™ guide.

Fashion Show Mall

First impressions are everything (ahem, did you check out the World Tower lobby?). But if you don't feel dressed to impress for a big meeting or business dinner, hit the Fashion Show Mall. Less than two miles away from SLS Las Vegas, there's everything from Saks Fifth Avenue to Banana Republic for that power suit or board-room-ready accessories.

Carson Kitchen

Most menu items at Carson Kitchen sound too good to be true: root beer glazed sliders, beef wellington empanadas, glazed donut bread pudding, not your father's "twinkies" (I mean, twinkles, come on!). Here, celebrity chef Kerry Simon updates the classics to mouthwatering modern heights. Located downtown, Carson Kitchen is the perfect escape from the hustle of the Strip and with a great rooftop patio you could easily stay tucked away here—cocktail in hand—until you remember that early morning meeting.
