Well you must have gone through various articles, reviews about the magical place in the state of Nevada in the US.
This is just another add on to those articles.
I recently visited this magical city and I will give one word to it "BEAUTIFUL". The city is beautiful though man made but it is definitely pretty to look at.
We were there for 4 days and had booked our hotel in advance. If you are planning to visit Vegas, you must have figured out by now that the best place to stay is definitely "The Strip".
Yeah , its actually called that !! It is actually a long road with sky high hotels on both its sides. You have all range hotels , in case you are wondering.
Day 1
We reached the city by 4 pm in the evening as we had driven from Salt lake City, Utah which took around 6 hours in total. So we actually started our day late by 6 pm in the evening.
High Roller is a good place to start with. It gives you a bird eye view of the city in the evening time with its light in full swing. The tickets can cost around $20-$30 per person. You can find good deals on group on as well.
We then went to have a nice dinner with drinks at Margaritaville. Its a bar with great options in the menu. Sadly it has got long waiting ,but definitely worth it.
As we had driven all day, we were actually too tired to go ahead with casinos and all, so we simply call the day off!! ( I know its lame , but couldn't help it)
Day 2
We started our day with a delicious breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi. Its a french restaurant with awesome view and seating. Try getting a table on the porch. There are some great french options for breakfast.
Now the time came to visit the man made tall, beautiful buildings( I mean hotels , if you haven't got it !!)
Since Mon Ami Gabi is just in front of Bellagio, we started from it. I would restrict myself from commenting or reviewing hotels as every person has a different eye when it comes to art!
It took round an hour to look at the huge place.
Caeser's Palace is just next to Bellagio , so that was next on the list. It is equally huge in size with beautiful shopping zones inside.
Once we were over with the two hotels, we were hungry again and had a light lunch at some local place.
We had booked tickets for Madame Tussaud and thus it was next on the list. It is not as good as the one in London or New York, but I still liked it.
Day 3
Since we had our car along with us , we headed to Red Rock Canyon which is just 40 min drive from the strip.
It's beautiful canyon with varied color rocks. Its a huge area and requires 2-3 hours to cover all.
If you don't have a vehicle , you can try renting one or booking a cab.
It was almost lunch time when we got out of the canyon. We headed to Freemont street experience afterwards. Though this place is more for the evening time, but we had a good time in the daylight as well.
If you are an adventure lover, take the Zipline. Take a look online to get an idea, what it is. It is very affordable and costs about $20-$25 a person.
We covered New York New York and Paris in the evening and were in need of a good drink by the end of it. So we headed to our hotel, played some games at the casino, drank couple of drinks and had a fun evening(Ok, I admit, more than couple drinks !!)
Look out for free Volcano show at Mirage and Fountain Show at Bellagio.
Day 4
This was a beautiful and romantic day. We started by visiting the The Venetian and I have to comment on this one. It is a beautiful hotel and gives a feel of the European cities.
One has an option to have a romantic Gandola ride in the artificial river with a rower singing along the way. Should be on your list if you have someone with you to share the romantic ride with.
After this, we headed to The Stratosphere towers and had a good lunch on the revolving hotel on the 110th floor.
One tip: Instead of buying the ticket for the top view, go for the restaurant and have a meal with the view. It is cheaper !
We headed for our last evening in Vegas and gambled and had a great evening time.
This article is just for reference if you feel like doing something extra than the usual Vegas stuff like... (you know what I mean!!)
P.S. Do try the Fat Tuesday while in Vegas. Its a must and my fav are mango and strawberry mix. So have some fun and more fun and more :)
