They are, at least by European standards. There’s a list of criteria your hotel must satisfy to get that rating and all of the high-end Strip resorts satisfy them. Venetian/Palazzo, Wynn/Encore, Bellagio, Aria, Cosmopolitan, Vdara all do.
FWIW, booking on Expedia.com is pretty expensive, but if you use German/French versions of Slickdeals to find deals for Expedia.de/.fr, you can find some decent deals. We always get our rental cars in the US on Expedia.de and usually pay half of what Expedia.com quotes.
