Things to Do in Las Vegas for Couples
7 min read
Vegas has a reputation as a bachelor-party town, but it is secretly one of the best romantic getaways in the country if you know where to point yourselves.
I have planned plenty of couples trips here. Here is how to make it feel like a date and not a frat party.
Dinner with a view or a story
Start with a great meal. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris overlooks the Bellagio Fountains, and Top of the World at the STRAT slowly rotates 800 feet up.
For pure food romance, book Carbone at Aria or a quiet table at Estiatorio Milos. A standout dinner sets the whole night.
Get up high together
The High Roller observation wheel has open-bar cabins perfect for a private 30 minutes above the Strip at sunset.
Splurge on a helicopter night flight over the lights if you really want to seal the deal. It is a classic for a reason.
Spa, pool, and slow mornings
Book a couples spa treatment and an adult or quiet pool. The resort spas here are world class and a great way to reset together.
Some of the best couple time is the unscheduled kind, so leave room for a lazy brunch and a long pool afternoon.
An escape from the neon
Drive out to Red Rock Canyon for a sunset, or take a day trip to Valley of Fire. The desert at golden hour is genuinely romantic.
It is also a nice reminder that there is a whole quiet world right outside the city lights.
