The Cromwell

Situated on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo, the Cromwell is located in the heart of the Strip, and is an ultra-stylish retreat that’s a bit more affordable. The upscale restaurant Giada and rooftop nightclub Drai’s both boast some of the absolute best Strip views, and are also some of the hottest places to see and be seen.

Luxor

Something about the Luxor’s Egyptian theme never gets old, despite being “ancient” (insert LOLs here!), probably because the Luxor is still one of the most recognizable and iconic places on the Strip.

There are a lot of great shows to see at the Luxor, like Blue Man Group and Carrot Top (seriously), and it’s also dirt cheap to stay here.

Get a day pass at the Circus Circus Adventuredome

Sometimes the most fun you can have is embracing your inner child and spending a day riding rollercoasters and playing midway games. It also helps that this is all indoors and climate-controlled, so the scorching summer heat and frigid winter temps (yes, really!) aren’t an issue.

Explore the Adverturedome

Get Outside

Hiking in the Red Rock National Conservation Area

Many Vegas visitors don’t realize that Las Vegas is also an outdoors enthusiast’s paradise in addition to being the Entertainment Capital of the World. Red Rock National Conservation Area is only 30 minutes from the Strip and offers world-class hiking and climbing opportunities, as well as horseback riding, trail running, and mountain biking.

If you want to get outside but not, like, OUTSIDE outside, consider a tour in a Pink Jeep or a three-wheel scooter car.

Take a guided kayak tour of the Colorado River to the Emerald Cove

One of the most beautiful sites you’ll see around Las Vegas is the near the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Hoover Dam. The Emerald Cove is located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and is accessible only by water.

The afternoon light brings stunning emerald-green waters that will have all your Instagram followers exclaiming, “That’s in VEGAS????”

From pretty much ALL the Vegas celebrity chefs to Vegas’s local rising culinary stars and a truly fantastic Chinatown, Vegas dining is the best it has ever been and is only getting better! Check out these spots for the full Vegas food and drink experience.

Breakfast and Brunch

Lavo Weekend Party Brunch

Lavo’s “Endless Italian Brunch Buffet” is now the stuff of Vegas legend. This is THE party brunch to hit up when you’re in Vegas: a place where bottomless booze brunch meets day club for peak daytime debauchery.

Explore Lavo Brunch

Bardot Brasserie

For something a little less day club, the “Everlasting Rosé Brunch” at Bardot Brasserie is an upscale option with delectable French dishes that still delivers on the bottomless booze promise.

Brunch Tour with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours

One of the best ways to experience Las Vegas’s robust and diverse food scene is on a tour with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, and their brunch tour is one of the best! You’ll hit three popular brunch spots on the Strip—including Bardot—with food and cocktails at each venue, all in one gloriously gluttonous morning.

Lunch

Downtown Terrace

If you’ve ever rued the fact that bottomless brunch is only on weekend, Downtown Terrace is the spot for you. They offer bottomless drinks for two hours open to close seven days a week with the purchase of an entrée (with a two hour limit).

Eataly

The Italian food theme park that is Eataly is a great place to hit for lunch, when there are fewer people (it is not uncommon for there to be a line stretching into the Park MGM just to get inside the marketplace on weekend evenings) and your squad can choose their dishes from an assortment of different specialty counters—pizza, pasta, seafood, charcuterie, gelato, whatever. Plus there are a couple of bars for all your wine and Italian vermouth needs.

Giada

Giada has one of the most stunning dining rooms in Las Vegas, and while the restaurant is only open for lunch Friday through Sunday, you can book an exclusive lunch experience where you will learn how to make a four-course meal (and also get to eat it) with the chefs of Giada.

Wicked Spoon

If you’re going to do a buffet, make it Wicked Spoon inside the Cosmopolitan. It is the BEST buffet in Las Vegas, where the dishes are just as thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented as if they were plated and served at a five-star restaurant.

Dinner

CATCH

CATCH inside the ARIA is quite possibly the trendiest dinner spot on the Strip right now. While their selection of sushi and other seafood certainly lives up to the hype, it is the highly Instagrammable flower-covered entryway that “catches” the most attention.

Best Friend

Chef Roy Choi’s Vegas debut is as eccentric and iconoclastic as the L.A. chef’s Mexican-meets-Korean-meets-California cuisine. This is one of the most adventurous and FUN dining rooms on the Strip!

The NoMad Restaurant

NoMad inside the NoMad Las Vegas hotel (which is in turn inside the Park MGM) is one of the grandest dining rooms to hit the Strip in some time. Enjoy American classics in a full-fledged library (yes, the books are real) with soaring ceilings in posh circular booths.

STK

STK inside the Cosmo is a stylish, contemporary steakhouse that toes the line into nightclub territory the later in the evening it gets. For a real treat, order “The Clown” dessert and get your cameras ready!

Eiffel Tower Restaurant

Classic French fare with one of the most gorgeous views of the Strip, located at the top of the Eiffel Tower and overlooking the Bellagio fountains: you really can’t go wrong here.

Explore the Eiffel Tower Restaurant

Oscar’s Steakhouse

Oscar’s Steakhouse is located inside the glass dome above the porte-cochère of the Plaza Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas. This old school style steakhouse is a throwback to Vegas’s mob era, and also offers the most amazing view of the Fremont Street Experience.

Partage

Located off-Strip in Vegas’s Chinatown, Partage is an impeccable modern French restaurant that is fast building a reputation for itself as one of the best restaurants in a city FULL of “best” restaurants.

Raku

For years now, Raku has maintained its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas, praised by the likes of Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern as one of the best-kept secrets and hidden dining gems of Vegas. While it’s hardly a secret anymore, it’s still very much worth getting there early to grab a table, and be sure to stop by Sweets Raku, their sister dessert concept in the same plaza, for a three-course dessert after dinner.

Late Night

Top of the World

The Top of the World has recently been revamped, along with the rest of “The Strat” (the hip new name for the Stratosphere). If you want dinner with a view, Top of the World is perched more than 800 feet above the Strip and rotates 360 degrees every 80 minutes. The contemporary American steakhouse is served until 11 p.m. nightly.

Rose.Rabbit.Lie.

Rose.Rabbit.Lie. is open until midnight every night, which is great if you want a bit to eat after seeing Opium in the adjoining theatre space. This restaurant is full of surprises, including live entertainment popping up nightly. Order their signature beef wellington to share.

Sin City might as well be “Show City,” if that didn’t sound so cheesy. There are dozens of shows to see here seven days a week, 365 days a year, from multi-million-dollar productions to the best in standup and low-brow comedy to lo-fi fringe theatre. But for a weekend with your best girls, these are our top picks.

Absinthe

Spiegelworld is starting to dominate the Vegas entertainment scene with their particular brand of Vegas vaudeville, but the original is still the best.

Absinthe might very well have changed Vegas entertainment as we knew it when it debuted on April Fool’s Day, 2011, and it is an absolute must-see for the best in variety acts that sound familiar but are like nothing you’ve ever seen before, from strongmen and acrobats to burlesque dancers and a banker blowing the most exquisite bubbles.

Local Sports

The Las Vegas Aviators at the Las Vegas Ballpark

The Las Vegas Aviators are a Minor League Baseball team that plays at the brand-new, state-of-the-art Las Vegas Ballpark, voted best MiLB ballpark in the country. After all, what other minor league ballpark has a pool and regularly hosts guest celebrity chefs?

The Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena

You don’t even have to be a hockey fan to enjoy a Vegas Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena; here in Vegas, hockey games on home ice are legit Vegas SHOWS, complete with cheerleaders, a drum line, and pyrotechnics. Plus, locals go WILD for the Knights—get ready to scream for KNIGHT TIME!

Live Music

In the past few years, the Las Vegas residency has transitioned from punch line to prime gig, and now visitors can see everyone from Lady Gaga to Bruno Mars in limited (but often recurring) residencies. Check Ticketmaster or Live Nation for upcoming schedules.

Think of Las Vegas as Rodeo Drive, Fifth Avenue, and the Champs-Élysées all in one place along with all of your favorite major retailers from around the world. We hope you have some room in your suitcase because you’re going to want to do some serious shopping while you’re in town!

Luxe

The Shops at Crystals

Fendi, Gucci, Louis, Prada, Hermes, Tiffany—they’re all here. While this is not the mall for the casual shopper, there is no better place for window browsing!

Mid-Range

The Forum Shops at Caesars is so massive and sprawling that it’s easy to get lost. Just let it happen. It’s as much fun to wander the long, meandering corridors as it is to pop into the 160+ different shops, from the highest of the high-end and everyday fast fashion to exquisite art galleries and excellent eateries.

Fun and Affordable

Las Vegas has not one but two premium outlet stores flanking either end of the Strip. While the South outlet has plenty of great stores, the North outlet offers a lovely outdoor shopping experience with many more upscale brands and is just minutes from the downtown Las Vegas cultural center.

You’re in Las Vegas for a bachelorette party, so it goes without saying that you’re probably going to be doing some clubbing and bar-hopping. Day and night, there is an endless number of hot spots to see, be seen, have a few cocktails, and dance the night away! Here are a few popular picks.

Clubs

OMNIA Nightclub

The beating heart of OMNIA, one of the hottest clubs in Vegas right now, is the amazing chandelier surrounded by giant concentric rings that look they’re about to beam you up to another planet, and to be honest, a night at Omnia might kind of feel that way.

This is one of the top nightclubs in Vegas of the moment, where on any given night you’ll catch a top-tier DJ like Tiësto, Zedd, or Calvin Harris headlining.

Hakkasan

Hakkasan has been the biggest name in Vegas nightlife for several years now and is still holding strong to that title. The biggest-name DJs tend to split their time between Hakkasan, Omnia, and XS—again, Tiësto, Zedd, and Calvin Harris, and Steve Aoki is also a Hakkasan staple.

The 80,000 square-foot space also includes a fine dining restaurant and the lounge-within-the-club, Ling Ling. A brand-new, multi-million-dollar light installation called the “Hakkasan Grid” was recently unveiled, adding a whole new element of technological artistry to the five-story club that makes it feel new all over again.

XS Nightclub

XS at the Wynn, connected to Encore Beach Club, is another long-time mainstay for top DJ talent and Vegas’s most popular parties. Their weekly “Nightswim” events during the summer are always a hot way to beat the heat, and you can catch major EDM stars like the Chainsmokers and Diplo in regular rotation.

Pool Parties

Encore Beach Club

The three-level pool complex that located off the edge of XS is one of the best pool parties in Las Vegas in size, layout, and quality of talent. Catch Diplo, RL Grime, and the absolutely insane Elrow parties here all summer long.

Wet Republic

Wet Republic is not the original party pool (that was Rehab at Hard Rock, RIP), but it helped to define what a Las Vegas party pool could be, bringing all the same top-name talent from the superclubs into a poolside DJ booth for an “ultra pool” daytime nightclub experience.

Each week you can see DJs like Tiësto, Zedd, and Calvin Harris—these guys all play Vegas a LOT—while sunbathing in the saltwater pools.

Marquee Day Club

Once upon a time some genius at Marquee realized that if they opened their nightclub up during the day with an expanded indoor/outdoor space and provided the same experience as the nightclub (private booths by way of cabanas; bottle service) and just add water, then they could double their revenue, and so Marquee Day Club was born. Dance your day away into the night, and then keep dancing to some of the most influential DJs in the world!

Bars and Lounges

Corduroy

Located in the hip Fremont East neighborhood of downtown Las Vegas, Corduroy throwback rock-and-roll vibe and a special room called the “Lightbox” where the lighting is always perfect for your Instagram selfies!

Commonwealth

This trendy cocktail bar inspired by pre-Prohibition design and drinking culture even has its own speakeasy called the Laundry Room hidden within the 6,000-square-foot space where the drinks get real serious. But don’t worry; even if you can’t get in the Laundry Room, the stunning main bar and the awesome rooftop patio are more than enough to keep your crew happy. Get there early, though: This place gets PACKED on weekends.

Explore Commonwealth

Velveteen Rabbit

Located in the 18b Arts District of Las Vegas, the Velveteen Rabbit is a craft cocktail and beer bar with a killer backyard patio where DJs spin every Friday and Saturday night.

Golden Tiki

If you want to know where the locals hang out, it’s the Golden Tiki. This tiki-themed cocktail bar in Las Vegas’s Chinatown is one of the hottest spots in Vegas, and where the locals go to unwind. Check them out for happy hour, yacht rock brunch, and the occasional burlesque show, and get a Scorpion Bowl or Zombie Punch to share.

Loser’s Bar

This cowboy bar in the middle of the District at MGM features live country music in a comfortable atmosphere that feels just a little like Nashville.

Explore Loser’s Bar

Nine Fine Irishmen

There ain’t no party like an Irish pub party, and Nine Fine Irishmen inside New York New York is one of the best in Vegas. Sip on ciders and stouts and enjoy hearty Irish cuisine as you stamp your feet and clap your hands along to the Celtic sounds of house band Sin e Ri Ra.

The Chandelier Lounge

The Chandelier Lounge is a three-level bar within the Cosmopolitan’s massive 44-foot-tall, 75-feet-wide, three-story chandelier comprised of seven million faceted crystals. Even level of the lounge offers a slightly different experience, but for the most inventive cocktails, head to the more intimate level 1.5 and order “The Verbena” or “We’re All Mad Here.”

Beer Park

Beer Park at Paris Las Vegas looks like a professional tailgate picnic. They recently opened an indoor space, but the original outdoor space is one of the best ways to spend a sunny day on the Strip, looking out over the Bellagio fountains, sipping bottomless mimosas during weekend brunch, playing giant Jenga, and watching your favorite teams on the dozens of HDTVs.

SkyBar

If you and your girls want to get dressed to the nines and be #classynottrashy, the SkyBar, sitting high atop of the 23rd floor of the recently-rechristened Waldorf Astoria (formerly the Mandarin Oriental), is one of the most sophisticated cocktail spots where you’ll drink in a breathtaking view of the Strip along with your ultra-premium drink.

The Dorsey

This exquisite cocktail bar and lounge inside the Venetian is home to some of the most inventive craft cocktails on the Strip. Cocktail nerds and aficionados will want to make this a mandatory stop, but the atmosphere—with live music and pop-up events—will also keep the vodka soda crowd entertained.

You’ll want to look your best before hitting the Strip for a night on the town, so spend the day getting pampered and preened at these style hotspots and spas.

Sahra is a spa retreat that pays homage to the sandstone of Red Rock and the desert-scape of Las Vegas in an oasis-like retreat that feels worlds away from the Strip. Enjoy the monsoon rain showers, cooling mist rooms, and relax on the giant heated stone slab in the Hammam room.

Canyon Ranch Spa Club at the Venetian

Canyon Ranch is so much more than a spa: At 134,000 square feet and with more than 90 treatment rooms, it is one of the world’s largest day spas.

In addition to all of the many spa and beauty treatments you would expect, Canyon Ranch also offers group fitness classes and sessions with personal trainers and even has a 40-foot rock wall for climbing practice.

There are a lot of little need-to-knows that you’ll find helpful before you pack your bags and hop on a plane (and in some cases, before you even book your flight). In no particular order, these are the things we think you should be aware of before and during your visit.

Tips from travel experts:

---

It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

This is the desert.

It’s dry here, which, yay for those of you whose hair suffers in humid climates, but also know that means the weather lives in extremes. Summer can mean long stretches of 110+ degree heat, especially in July and August, and winter highs might hover in the 50s—which might still be a welcome reprieve if you’re visiting from the Midwest, East Coast, or Northern Plains, but just know you can skip packing the swimsuit in favor of sweaters.

Spring is the best time to visit when temps are temperate and all the desert fauna is in glorious bloom. Fall is nonexistent here.

BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES.

Yes yes, you all want to look cute trotting around in sky-high heels on the Strip but know this: you WILL regret it later. Wedges are a happy compromise.

Don’t expect things to be cheap.

They’re not.

Those Vegas days are LONG over.

Everything is expensive, you’re going to spend more than you planned, and you need to be prepared for this actuality because otherwise, you are going to be miserable and make everyone around you miserable too.

Pace yourself.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t be THAT girl.

And drink lots of water.

Seriously. Way more than you think you need.

Rideshare is your chauffeur.

The Las Vegas Strip tends to function like a mirage: Places LOOK a heck of a lot closer than they actually are.

You’ll want to use a rideshare service to get around, especially if you didn’t heed the above advice re: footwear.

Cabs are crazy-expensive and known to pull what is known as “long-haul” shenanigans (taking tourists for a proverbial and literal “ride” in order to charge them more), but rideshare is everywhere and every property has a dedicated are for rideshare pickups, including the airport.

Or you can get a limo, which is also fun, but considerably more expensive!
