Have you ever dreamed of fascinating buildings that light up the whole city at night or a place of unlimited fun from helicopter tours to Cirque du Soleil shows? If you have, then that means one thing: LAS VEGAS is for you! This is the place to experience it all, have the time of your life, and make memories that you'll remember years to come.
If you're ever in Vegas for 2-3 days, I've got the five places you must see before it all comes to an end. As someone who now has lived twelve years in this larger than life city, I'll be happy to give you a city tour of the places on "The Strip" you should not pass by. So grab a pen and paper and write these down for your soon-to-be extraordinary Sin City trip.
Vegas is known for its famous casinos. If you're a risk taker and enjoy gambling, now it's easy to play in the comfort of your own home with casino-bonus.me.uk. Biggest advantage is you can get free spins without having to make a deposit. How cool is that? This makes you a winner from the very beginning.
1. Las Vegas Fabulous Sign
First thing's first: You cannot leave without taking a photo at the WELCOME TO FABULOUS LAS VEGAS sign ( if you don't, it's like it never happened...who's wants that? No one!) You can even get the chance to snap a selfie with Elvis Presley, who's usually there with his red convertible. He's a legend, but he always has time to talk to his fans! He's actually pretty funny!
No matter the day, keep in mind there more likely will be a long line for photos (there're always newlyweds, groups of tourists, romantic couples...) so be prepared to wait and stay excited because you want your photos to scream "I ❤ LV!"
The Vegas sign is minutes away from the McCarran Airport, so make sure you're dressed and ready for your perfect Instagram shot as you come out the airport. If you have to, touch up a bit and head straight to the sign!
2. Monte Carlo Sambalatte Cafe
The Strip offers plenty of restaurants and coffee places, but my favorite to this day is the Sambalatte Cafe located at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino. It's artsy with unique decor, there's plenty of space with inspiring indoor and colorful outdoor sitting areas, and the coffee is super delicious!
Also, as you can see from the photos above, the rainbow art is #goals for all of us social media freaks. They'll always ask if you want rainbow latte art, so say YES, it will only make the experience even more special. It was totally worth it, as I absolutely LOVE coffee art! And I even want to learn how to do it myself for that luscious experience at home. I've tried a million times and cannot find the reason why it isn't happening... Are any of you coffee art masters? If you are, please give me some hints and tips. Until then I'll be in Sambalatte enjoying my coffee and this beautiful spring weather.
3. Bellagio Fountains
Seeing and experiencing the Bellagio singing fountains is a MUST! I feel like this could become the highlight of your trip because it really is magical. I recommend you see the fountains dance to classical music once during the day, and once at night. Somehow it feels like you're seeing a different show at both times of day. At night, you not only get singing fountains, but it's like a light show! The fountains light up and the gorgeous Strip lights of the surrounding hotels reflect in the dark waters. During the day, the sun illuminates the water as if there are diamonds sparkling on the surface. The fountain show plays continuously, so you can watch the magic at any time convenient for you. It doesn't matter if I've lived in Las Vegas for 12 years,I still love going to Bellagio and watching the fountains, trust me, I'm left in awe every time!
Not only is Bellgio gorgeous from the outside, but as well from the inside, with botanical gardens that display fresh flowers, a Jean Philippe patisserie, lots of shopping stores, game tables... and so much more.
4. The LINQ
You've got to witness the world's tallest wheel, so head down to the LINQ when you visit Las Vegas. I suggest you buy a ticket because seeing Vegas from above is one-of-a-kind lifetime experience. You'll see the desert valley encircled with canyons, the whole strip, and really, only mesmerizing views.
If you're scared of heights, don't be. When I got on it for the first time, I imagined it would be super high, which made me nervous, but that wasn't the case, as I enjoyed the ride more than ever and would love to go on it again, this time at night. Which brings me to a really good point - being on the wheel at golden hour, when the sun is setting, everything illuminated in golden haze, is by far the best time to ride the wheel. TAKE YOUR CAMERA - the ride lasts 30 minutes, moving very very slowly, which is perfect for capturing aerial views of the city and making long-lasting memories. Be sure your camera battery is fully charged - you'll be snapping away as the wheel makes a full circle.
5. The Park
The Park is one of my favorite places to visit because it feels like a little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Strip. The Park is home to a vast selection of restaurants, the famous "Bliss Dance" statue (a great photography opportunity), the T-Mobile arena, nightly live music, gorgeous sitting areas, and overall chilled vibes. I can literally spend a whole day there. For that reason, you've got to fit it into your schedule and experience it all.
So there you have it! These five places on "the Strip" should be on your to-do-and-see list once you land in Las Vegas. Let me know in the comments below if you're planning your trip to Vegas anytime soon or you've already been to this fabulous city? What did you like the most about this city?
If you'd like any more suggestions of places to see in Las Vegas, you can always DM me on my Instagram or Twitter. I would love to help you or give you more spots to check off your Vegas list.
Stay fabulous and I'll see you again very soon.
Love, Radi
