The Westin Las Vegas is a half mile east down Flamingo Road from the strip, just behind the Flamingo Hotel. Thier hotel policy page on their website explicitly states:
Age Requirement Policy
Guests must be 18 years or older with photo identification to reserve a guest room. Guests younger 18 must be accompanied by an adult. A valid, government-issued ID is required as proof of age.
In general, I have found any hotel which also operates a casino on their property requires a minimum check-in age of 21 years. Given the large hotel casino resorts bordering Ceasar’s Palace, I believe the Westin is the closest hotel which meets your requirements.
This is completely anecdotal, and outdated (over a decade ago), but here goes.
When I was 17, my friends and I took a road trip to Vegas. I had a debit card (Visa) which we thought would be enough, but we kept getting ID checked and turned away. We made our way down the strip and started getting to the seedier places. Finally, we just asked each place we went to, “do you check IDs?”. Finally, the Algiers Hotel front desk man said no, and we were able to enjoy a very disappointing weekend in Las Vegas.

You will find it difficult to reserve a hotel room in Las Vegas if you are 18–21, and it is next to impossible to reserve a room in your own name if you are under 18 anywhere in the U.S.
Vegas.com, the site operated by the tourism bureau, is not comprehensive, but includes minimum age requirements and seems to be reasonably reliable. The only hotel it lists on the Strip renting to 18+ is the Travelodge Center Strip, and the only off-Strip hotel is the Westgate, which is a distance away near the Convention Center. The policies page for Hilton Grand Vacations suggests that they are another option. Note that policies are always subject to change, so these properties may no longer be options come August, whereas others might be.
You may have additional options if you are willing to stay downtown or in other parts of the city, although public transportation is costly (the SDX bus is $6 for a single ride or $8 for a daily pass).
The only other listing of hotels I was able to find was at booking site LasVegasHotel.com, but this list is not reliable, as it lists examples which the official site states are 21+ (e.g. Skylofts at MGM Grand) and moreover lists the Riviera, which was demolished almost three years ago.
There are alternatives to hotels, of course. Las Vegas has several hostels, and you could also attempt to make a reservation on a service like AirBnB, where the minimum age is 18.
Wherever you choose to stay, and regardless of where you make your reservation, I would call in advance and confirm that they will in fact accept reservations from people under 21. When you check in, the staff will ask for identification, and you do not want to be caught out if they accepted the online reservation in error.
