Located in the LINQ Promenade between The LINQ hotel and Harrah's, Gordon Ramsay Fish and Chips reportedly has the best fish and chips Douglas Focht has ever had in their life. For those of you who aren't fishly inclined- they also make a mean chicken strip. If you're looking for something sweet-anything Gordon Ramsay puts sticky toffee in is sublime. Quick Service Doug's Order: fish and chips and a sticky toffee shake
Located in the Park MGM- Primrose is one of Amanda’s favorite places to grab brunch on the strip. It has wonderfully fresh food along with an equally fresh and airy atmosphere. Whether you’re in the indoor dining area or on the garden terrace- Primrose feels more like a lush greenhouse than the Vegas desert. Breakfast and Brunch Amanda’s order: chicken and waffles and bottomless mimosas (cheers!)
Located just inside the Bellagio Resort sits a grand horticultural display that really wows. The Bellagio Gardens are free to visit and change seasonally making it a fun stop whenever you’re in town. The over the top showmanship really makes this a must see. It’s also a fantastic place to cool down if you’re walking around and need a breather! Free activities Amanda’s pick
Located in the heart of the Venetian- St Mark’s Square is really what brings the Venetian resort to the top of Doug and Amanda’s list of hotels. St Mark’s Square is primarily a shopping center, but with over-the-top theming including gondolas, cobblestone pathways, and a blue sky with rolling clouds- it’s easy to feel transported to Italy 🤌 Free activities Bonus: You’ll have time to wander around St Mark’s Square before or after our reception located in Canaletto overlooking the canals!
