Top Things to Do In Las Vegas

Planning your Last Vegas to-do list might be overwhelming with so many activities on the radar. The best thing about it is that the city has something to offer to any type of traveler – therefore it has gained the name of Entertainment Capital of the World. It is the perfect destination to travel with friends, family, or for an only girls/guys trip.

Have Fun at the Strip

Ready to party? Sin City’s main attraction, the Las Vegas Strip, is ready to offer you memorable experiences. Beyond some of the most iconic casinos in the world, the Strip is home to famous hotels, fascinating museums, Cirque du Soleil, and plenty of tourist attractions. You can begin your adventure by snapping a photo at the “Welcome to Las Vegas Sign”. Enjoy a medieval show at the Excalibur Hotel if you want to step back in time or experience the wonder of the world’s most famous passenger liner, Titanic, at the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. If you’re looking for a fancy pool party, the Wet Republic at MGM Grand Hotels & Casino is the best destination to relax, dance, and try some mind-blowing culinary dishes.

Visit Downtown Las Vegas

The Strip might be the epicenter of fun, but Downtown Las Vegas offers some unique experiences to its visitors, too. Here’s where old Vegas meets new Vegas. From wild parties to open-air bars, decadent restaurants, live concerts, and Las Vegas’s first casino, you’ll find all these and even more attractions on the Fremont Street.

Take The Ride of a Lifetime on the Las Vegas Ferris Wheel

Las Vegas has the tallest observation Ferris wheel in the world. Enjoy the fascinating landmarks from 550 feet (160 m) above the Las Vegas Strip. Then indulge yourself in a little shopping spree in the area.

Visit the Mob Museum

Located in Downtown Las Vegas, the Mob Museum is one of the most interesting in the world, offering a provocative modern perspective on the topic of organized crime’s history and its impact on the history of the USA.

Fly High in Las Vegas

Experience skydiving in an innovative way at Vegas Indoor Skydiving – no parachute involved, only lots of fun and adrenaline. This is a great activity to do with your family or friends.

Explore the Outdoors

Las Vegas means more than glitzy clubs, fancy restaurants, and casinos. After all, it is located in the middle of the desert and has so much to offer to outdoor enthusiasts as well. Pack comfortable clothes for the outdoors and enjoy the city’s jaw-dropping surroundings such as the Valley of Fire State Park, located 45 minutes away from Las Vegas. The Hoover Dam is another must-see when in Vegas, just 30 minutes away from the city.

What to Wear In Las Vegas

When you start preparing your Las Vegas vacation outfits, you need to consider the time of year you’ll be visiting and the activities you’ll be doing. Regarding the weather, the summers in Las Vegas are sweltering with temperatures up to 39 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), while the winters are cold. Therefore, the best time of year to visit Sin City for warm-weather activities is from June to September.

Whether you’re planning to dance the night away at the club, have some fun in the sun at the pool, or enjoy the views while indulging your senses with appetizing dishes at fancy restaurants, you need to know what to wear in Las Vegas.

• Keep it casual – when exploring Las Vegas, choose comfortable, breathable pieces such as jeans, shorts, shirts, or cotton dresses for ladies. Of course, if you plan to hit the clubs, the casinos, or fine dining restaurants, make sure you pack a more formal outfit. It’s good to know that each casino has its own rules, so the dress code might depend on one location to another.
• Wear vibrant colors during the day – this is such a colorful city. So, if you want to match the positive energy, choose outfits in bright colors for day trips around the city.
• Choose comfortable shoes – sneakers, sandals, whatever makes your feet happy and can keep you with long walks. You should also pack some casual shoes or a pair of heels for ladies in case you plan on going to a nice restaurant, or a nightclub. Keep in mind that some fancy restaurants and clubs don’t allow their attendants to wear sneakers.
• Dress in layers for winter – winter in Las Vegas can get pretty cold so you’ll want to stay prepared with layers, a jacket, and cozy boots.
• Pack a cool swimsuit and coverup for pool parties – Las Vegas is famous for its summer pool parties so if you’re visiting the hot season, make sure you attend one. Make a style statement with your beachwear.
• Spice up your look with glamorous accessories – Las Vegas is the perfect place to wear your statement pieces and let your creative juices flow when it comes to accessorizing your vacation outfits.
• Don’t forget your wallet – get ready to spend some money while in Vegas. But do it in style with a reliable wallet that can easily hold your documents, cards, and cash – the Nordace Leiden Travel Clutch can do it all, and more. Plus, it has 6 RFID-blocking card slots so you can keep those important cards and documents protected but easily accessible.
