3-Day Las Vegas Itinerary

Sin City is celebrated for its notorious nightlife, high-end hotels, free-wielding casinos, and a carefree, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas attitude.

Here are three itineraries for a long weekend in La Vegas– Me, My Bae, and My BFF.

Pampering Myself Over a Long Weekend in Vegas

Being a military spouse, I cherish the chances to travel solo. I have ventured to more than 60 countries, many of them alone. And although I’m not much of a gambler, Las Vegas offers so much more than a seat at a craps table. I prefer better odds.

I have been to the city alone a few times, and I always have a good time. From getting pampered at a luxurious spa, eating at delicious restaurants, star-studded music, and theatrical performances to enjoying a great book at a trendy cafe or just people-watching on the strip. I enjoy losing myself in the colorful nightlife and a little retail therapy too.

Vibrant Container Park Promenade

Here’s a list of my must-do things on a solo weekender to Vegas.

  • Go on a binge-tour for burgers and cocktails.
  • Shop at the Container Park.
  • Enjoy a day at one of the amazing spas.
  • Spend an afternoon at the Neon Museum.
  • Explore swanky shopping on the Strip

Dubbed as the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas, for couples, is a paradise!  We did not expect many romantic things to do because the city has a reputation for parties. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Even the most boisterous, people-packed places could feel intimate.

In our experience, the most romantic things to do in Las Vegas were:

  • Experience the Eiffel Tower in The Paris Hotel
  • Ride the High Roller at sunset
  • Take a gondola ride at the Venetian.
  • Watch the sunset from the Observation Deck at the Strat.
  • Dine at E by Jose Andres
  • Take a helicopter ride for aerial views of the Grand Canyon.

Girlfriend Weekend Trip to Las Vegas

A long weekend is the ultimate girlfriend getaway. You can get a lot done in a 3-day Las Vegas itinerary. I explored the city with four of my friends, and the large-scale rooms of The Palazzo made every night a sleepover for us. We were a gang of fun partygoers and jet setters who just wanted to get all fancy-free and footloose. So, we did exactly that!

Girlfriend Weekends, the best way to cement long-lasting bonds:

  • Enjoy an unforgettable gastronomy tour at places like Rose. Rabbit. Lie.
  • Toasted to a variety of artisan cocktails in Skyfall Lounge at Delano
  • I visited Neon Museum and took some vintage-style photographs
  • Explored the Strip, casinos, and spas

Like it. Pin it.

Do you ever look down when you walk? You can’t help it in Luang Prabang because it’s like walking on a carpet of flowers. This post is a change-up from what I usually write. I just got back from an amazing trip to Luang Prabang in Laos. That place truly engaged all my senses, but what stood out the most was the smell. That is a testament because my sense of smell fails me a lot, but not in Laos. There, I could smell everything. The flowers, in particular, were incredibly pungent.

  1. Great ideas for a 3 day Las Vegas adventure. Personally, I have been to Vegas so many times that I am kind of getting bored of the Casinos. So I love that you mixed in the other stuff too!
    For your Romantic Ideas, I love that you mentioned the High Roller Ferris Wheel. I took my girlfriend, now wife, there cause she Loves Ferris wheels and she Loved it. I would also add go to see Freemont Street. You can just walk up and down the street together watching the amazing video show over your head or zip line down the street and then catch a concert going on in the middle of the street!

    1. Thanks, Eric, you ‘re right. I totally forgot about Freemont Street, there’s always a lot of energy down there. I think its a lot of fun for all three groups, actually.
