Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
I love Las Vegas, it's like my second home. Not only is it a tourist hotspot, it is one of the most beautiful and extravagant cities in the world. The food, shopping and sightseeing are one of the many things this city has to offer. It's renowned style for making an over-the-top experience is the reason why we continue to go back. I have been fortunate enough to travel to this glamours city 3 times now; thus, I have a few tips and tricks up my sleeve! (BTW, this is not sponsored, I just want to share with you why I love this city and why it is a must visit)
Eat: So one of the main reasons for returning to Vegas is because of its variety of foods! From buffets, cheap eats and luxury dinning, Vegas really has it all.
Sprinkles Cupcakes: If you have never tried the cupcake bakery that started it all, Sprinkles is my favourite and they have the best red velvet cupcake I have ever tried in my life. (Located at the Linq)
Serendipity 3: Is a must! They are famous for their frozen hot chocolate, so obviously thats what I got!
Shake Shack: When in Vegas and not in New York, I love opting for the options unavailable to me. As a New York lover, Shake Shake is an obvious choice.
Luxury Buffets: It's the experience, I'm not a hug eater and buffets can be a hit or miss for some people. However, when in Vegas a must try is one of their luxury buffets! (The buffet at the Wynn, Aria, Cosmopolitan and Caesar's Palace are one of the best) My personal favourite is the Bacchanal buffet and Caesars palace and the buffet at the Wynn.
Do your research and plan ahead: Vegas has to offer many of the most extravagant eats and when in Vegas, its all about the. Many of the most well-know eats are located in the city and its good to make a list of the spots you want to go to.
Shop: Who goes to Vegas and doesn't return home with a bunch of goodies? I love Vegas for all of their resort hotels. Built-in malls are one of the many things the hotels have to offer. My favourite is the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace, with stores ranging from the top designers to everyday causal wear these shops suits all.
Vegas also has two Premium outlets, where visitors can find discounted merchandise as well as a Town Square Mall (an outdoor shopping destination).
The Fashion Show Mall located across from the Wynn, is one of the biggest malls located on the strip. Home to hundreds of brands and several department stores, you are bound to find some good deals.
See: Sightseeing is one of the free and most fun things the city has to offer. I love going into every hotel and seeing their decorations and differences in themes. Here is a list of my must-sees:
- The Bellagio Fountains at night
- Downtown Las Vegas at night
- Walk the Strip at night
- Fireshow at the Mirrage
- A Cirque du Soleil Show (Ka or O)
- A Music Show (Britney Spears, Celine Dion)
- An Old Vegas Show (With showgirls)
- The flower arrangements at the Bellagio and the Wynn
- Walk from The Venetian to the Palazzo
- Walk to the Linq at night
Things to note:
Vegas is a very dry city, both in the winter and the summer as it sits in the desert.
During the summer months, Vegas is exceptionally hot and sometimes walking the strip during the day is difficult, for that reason I like using the (free) tram from the Bellagio to other destinations.
During the winter time: Don't let the blue sky deceive you, it can get very chilly and windy.
I love Planet Hollywood for a variety of reasons, Not only is it a really nice hotel, the Miracle Mile shops offer a many conveniences. With 2 ABC conveniece stores, if you forgot something or want to buy water, they are there to support you. They also have $6.99 specials at Planet Dallies.
I hope this sparked some interest or provided you with some tips if you travel to this city.
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
