How to Make a Trip to Vegas your Most Memorable Experience Ever
You’ve finally managed to save up enough money to treat yourself to a trip to Las Vegas, a dream destination that’s been on your bucket list for years. The excitement overwhelms you, and you have no idea what to do first and how to make the most of your trip. Las Vegas is a city of extravagant hotels, lavish shopping malls, theatres, and other sources of entertainment, so to a first-time visitor, the abundance of options may seem intimidating at first glance.
The best part about this marvelous city is that it has a special place for everyone, whether you’re an adventurist looking to have the time of your life or a tourist wanting to do some sightseeing. That’s why it’s wise to go prepared and have an organized itinerary to follow. If you want to check out our tips on some must-do activities in Las Vegas, then keep on reading for some fun ideas.
Get a taste of the one-of-a-kind art
You’re probably wondering what it is that makes the Las Vegas art stand out from other cultural monuments you’ve seen. Unlike other cities where the museums display famous 14th-century paintings, the Las Vegas museums take pride in their distinctive exhibitions. One of the most visited tourist attractions is the Neon Museum, where, as the name itself suggests, you can learn about the neon sign design in Vegas history. All the neon signs removed from casinos due to renovation are stored there and showcased for tourists to see.
American families often start to think of cities to move to in seek of better opportunities. If you’d like to read a guide on cities to move to, I highly recommend checking out this post on moving to Louisville.
Another museum you shouldn’t miss out on is the Mob Museum, where you’ll get the chance to walk the same halls as the mobsters and detectives did decades before you. Not to mention that you can also go through the evidence and watch videos of court hearings or check out the weapons used back then.
Say yes to shopping
Ladies, this one’s for you! Las Vegas shopping malls are light-years ahead of the boutiques you’re used to. In fact, the word “shopping mall” doesn’t do this upscale place justice. The complex offers you the opportunity to spend your hard-earned money in fifty-six of its exclusive stores, such as Gucci, Prada, and Hermes, to name a few.
If you’re traveling on a limited budget, fret not— you won’t return empty-handed. By taking a short car ride to Downtown Las Vegas, you’ll stumble across an outlet mall with great shopping deals and high-quality items, ranging from clothes to accessories. When you return home with all the fancy stuff, you’ll be dressed to impress.
A casino night out
The four-mile-long Strip lined with casinos on both sides is the perfect idea for a night out on the town as you can’t leave the city without stepping into one of its famous casinos. Usually, the first thing that comes to mind when people mention Las Vegas is the lavish entertainment.
If you’re a casino pro, take a seat at the poker table, put your game face on and pray that it’s your lucky day. However, a casino newbie would probably be wise to avoid the intricate card games and opt for something else. For instance, slot machines are the number one choice for beginners as you don’t need any special knowledge. It’s enough to read a bit about how slots work to get the hang of it. Also, don’t forget to indulge in an ice-cold cocktail—the first one is on the house!
Enjoy the view
Apart from the nightlife, the grand city is home to numerous recreational activities such as hiking, skiing, or boat-riding. To truly experience the city, you might want to sign up for a helicopter tour to bask in the breathtaking view and even check out the Grand Canyon that’s just miles away. Take an exciting Grand Canyon rafting trip with your friends or family for a trip to Vegas you’ll never forget.
You’d be surprised to hear that you can take a gondola ride in Venice while not stepping foot outside Las Vegas. Yes, you heard me—the Venetian Hotel was built to resemble Venice and features all the main attractions of the Italian city. And the sightseeing doesn’t end there because a short walk on the Boulevard will take you to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant where you can share a romantic dinner with your loved one.
Key takeaways
Hopefully, the article has helped you draft your itinerary, and now you’re ready to pack your bags and get moving. Las Vegas is a city of opportunities with a haven for each of its visitors. Whether it be the beautiful scenery or the grand casinos, you’ll be sure to find a place to your taste.
