Our Recommendations
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
Such a breathtaking spot. Thousands of flowers made into beautiful scenes. One of Kristin's favourite places in Vegas.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
You will be so amazed at the mountains surrounding the city. Why not take a 30 min drive to explore them! Red Rock Canyon is super close to the city and such an amazing place to visit. You can actually hike up the mountains and see some cacti and wildlife up close.
High Roller
If you want to have a beautiful view of Las Vegas plus a 30 minute ride in one of the biggest wheels in the world this is the place! They also offer an unlimited bar for a happy half hour. Daytime and nighttime views.
Fountains of Bellagio
There is something so special about watching these world famous fountains! A must see!
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Check out a race or take a racecar out for a drive!
East Fremont Street
If you want to see some crazy sights this is the place haha definitely a must see but beware it may not be child friendly.
Valley of Fire State Park
If you're feeling adventurous take the drive to see the spectacular rock formations here. One of our favourite places we've ever been!
Topgolf
A multilevel, upscale golf complex that offers climate-controlled golf bays. Plus there are a few pools with swim-up bars and a concert venue. High tech and super fun. Great food too! Highly recommended.
The Forum Shops at Caesars
Shopping and Sights!
Downtown Container Park
Part of Fremont Street, a bunch of shops made from shipping containers. Pretty cool!
Grand Canyon National Park
One of the most famous places on earth, this amazing wonder of the world isn't very far from Las Vegas. You actually can take a helicopter ride right from the strip and land right inside of the canyon!
Foundation Room Las Vegas
A club on the top floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel with the most incredible view of the strip on their outside balcony. You can relax, have a drink and a enjoy a great photo op- plus ladies are often given free cover and free beverages.
Brooklyn Bowl
Want to try big ball bowling? These lanes are side by side with a concert venue. Pretty cool!
OMNIA Nightclub
Omnia is one of Kristin's favourite's but there are so many night clubs and bars to check out. Lots of different atmospheres for all types and all ages. We highly recommend using a promoter to get on guest lists to get in for FREE. (More on this later) Some of these places cost 10's or even 100's of dollars to get in so this really saves money! Many famous singers and DJs will have appearances there too.
Gold & Silver Pawn Shop
For fans of the TV show Pawn Stars you may want to stop at the shop which is filmed in the show. Good spot to stop off and see on your way to Fremont Street.
The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod
For someone looking for a thrill - crazy rides!
Carroll Shelby Museum
This is just one example of the kind of museums you can visit. There is a mob museum, pinball, neon signs, railroad, wax, art, real bodies, ZAK BAGANS haunted museum. Again it's Vegas the possibilities are endless.
AREA15
Something pretty new, check it out!
Pools and pool parties
All the hotels have pools and most have some wild pool parties. Sometimes a relaxing afternoon by the pool is needed... And sometimes a wild pool party too!
Cirque Du Soleil Shows
Las Vegas has so many shows to see. Famous Cirque shows, plus many comedy shows, burlesque, concerts... pretty much any type of show you want to see there is one available. Prices vary and there are definitely ways to get cheap tickets.
Endless possibilities...
There honestly are so many things to choose from it's hard to narrow it down into a list or even just one visit. We haven't even seen all that we would like. So do a little research before coming and pick a few things you definitely want to see. Once there plan to get those things done but leave time to just roam around and do things spur of the moment!
