Las Vegas Travel Guide: Where to Stay, What to Do, and Where to Eat

Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities! Whether you’re traveling with your boo or spending a weekend with your girls, Vegas has something to offer for any occasion.

Check out this travel guide for my recommendations for where to stay, what to do and where to eat. Remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! 

Where to Stay

You can find a TON of hotels along the Las Vegas Strip that will fit your taste and budget. The Strip or Las Vegas Boulevard is a 4- mile stretch where you can find all of the action! Each time I visit Las Vegas I stay at the Elara by Hilton Grand Vacation, which is located at the Center Strip. This 52-story hotel offers views of the Las Vegas Strip, one block from the iconic boulevard. It’s connected to shopping, dining, and entertainment at Miracle Mile Mall, with access to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Some of my other favorites are Cesar’s Palace Cosmopolitan, Aria, and Mandalay Bay. I highly recommend using travel sites like Priceline or Expedia to book your stay.

Things to Do

Day Parties + Night Clubs 

Let’s be real, why even go to Las Vegas if you don’t want to party! Here are some of my favorite nightclubs: Drai’s (my all-time favorite), LIGHT, and Tao.

TIP– Search for #LasVegasPromoter on Instagram, connect with a promoter to get into a club or day party for free or discounted rate. 

Explore The Strip 

Take a stroll down The Strip, catch the Bellagio Fountain Show, check out the LINQ Promenade, or take a photo with a Las Vegas Show Girl — You never know what you’ll see!
