Who doesn’t love a good excuse to visit Vegas? But without a little guidance in planning your visit, you’ll be confronted with a breathtakingly wide variety of ways to be entertained and a mind-boggling number of choices. But have no fear, we’re here to help.
We’ve put together this handy list of ideas to help fill every minute of your visit while you’re not attending one of the official wedding events. It’s Vegas’ job to entertain you when you’re not in the capable hands of your hosts.
Get out and walk a bit:
The typically beautiful weather in Vegas makes planning a few outdoor daytime activities a must. A visit to The LINQ Promenade + Experience is a perfect way to get outside and still have a little Vegas-style fun. The scenic Promenade features a variety of restaurants with patio seating, shops and amusements right at the heart of The Strip, culminating at the Promenade’s east end with the unparalleled views aboard the High Roller ride which carries passengers 550 feet in the sky.
Similarly, The Park is an immersive outdoor destination for dining and entertainment that combines New York-New York, Park MGM and T-Mobile Arena into one neighborhood. The Park is a truly unique urban space that manages to bring trees, desert landscapes, dazzling water features and shade structures to our bustling environment. With indoor and outdoor dining options and vibrant art and horticulture programs, a visit to The Park is a visit to a desert oasis unlike anything else on The Strip.
Do a little or a whole lot of shopping. This is Vegas after all, you can’t take more than a few steps without running into great, unique, stylish, or trendy shopping opportunities. On The Strip, off The Strip, wherever you go in this town there’s shopping to do. Head over to the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood or Francesca’s at Town Square to pick up something for yourself or to find the perfect last-minute wedding gift. Whatever you’re looking for, including things you never thought you’d be looking for, you’ll find it or it will find you here in Vegas.
Check off a “Must-do”:
No trip to Vegas is complete without checking off a few of the “must-dos” here in town. For example, you can’t miss a photo op at the famous Vegas welcome sign, or the spectacular sight that is the covered Fremont Street, home to restaurants, attractions and the coolest zipline around, Slotzilla.
For the kid in you and the kids with you:
Remember, Vegas isn’t all about grown-up entertainment, both the kids in your group and the kid in you can find plenty to do here as well, The Adventuredome is 5 acres of indoor fun at Circus Circus including midway games, putt-putt golf, an arcade, thrill rides and much more.
A vast number of attractions here in town are not just appropriate, but a whole lot of fun for visitors of all ages. For example, you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy the M&M Store. It’s four floors of chocolate heaven that’s guaranteed to leave visitors of any age melting.
A trip to Downtown Vegas’ unique Container Park is an outdoor Vegas original, with its giant, fire-breathing praying mantis sculpture, open-air shopping and family entertainment center. Or if thrill-seekers are among the group, the Thrill Rides at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Skypod are certain to test the bravery and resolve of even the most intrepid among them. After that, they may want to slow their heart rates a bit so a leisurely stroll through The Forum Shops at Caesars might be just the thing.
Or how about some wild adventure off the Strip? Lake Mead Watersports is the place. Just 35 minutes from The Strip they feature wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing, knee boarding, and wake surfing all available in packages by the hour. Who’d have thought they could find extreme water adventure so close to Vegas?
