Vegas, Baby!
3-day weekend scream, “let’s go to Vegas”! We happen to agree. Three days is just the right amount of time to use some of that spare cash you picked up from those easy side hustles you’ve been working on in order to see, do, and eat a little bit of everything during the 3-day span. We’re here to help make sure you’re making the most of your 3-day weekend in Las Vegas. Read on for our tips and for an exclusive discount!
First thing, first. Where to stay?
Our pick is SAHARA Las Vegas. There’s something wonderfully chic and carefree about the property. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days and really soak in your vacation. The rooms are bright, stylish and comfortable. The pool is spectacular!
Pro tip: Parking is free at SAHARA Las Vegas. Sadly not so with many of the other hotel properties along the Strip.
What to do?
With three days you will have quite a few choices. If you’re arriving late, we recommend grabbing a drink at the Cromwell Lobby Bar, Bound. The cocktails here are spectacular and the atmosphere is just right. It’s part Vegas and part upscale lobby bar.
On one of your days, we recommend the winning combination of brunch, a half-day at the spa and some dream dining! When it comes to brunch, there are a lot of options in Vegas. For an indulgent buffet experience, it doesn’t get better than Sterling Brunch at Horseshoe Las Vegas. Two words: unlimited champagne. Alternatively, check out Hash House A Go Go at the Linq Las Vegas. They call it “twisted farm food”. We just call it, seriously delicious. If those aren’t your style, check out our list of the best breakfast spots in Vegas!
After brunch, it’s time to head to the spa. Nearly every spa in Las Vegas is a luxurious oasis, but one of our favorites is the MGM Grand Spa. It’s 29,000 square feet of pure nirvana. After you’ve soaked and steamed, it time to get ready for dinner. Ladies, make the most of your vacation by heading over to Dry Bar. If you’re not familiar with this beloved blowout bar, this is the time. It’s located in the Miracle Mile Shops, right across from Sephora.
Dining is one of the things Vegas does best. It’s the reason nearly every celebrity chef has a restaurant right here in Sin City. The result is a lot of choices. Here’s a few picks; Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at SAHARA Las Vegas, Battista’s Hole In the Wall for old-school Vegas Italian, or Hakkasan Restaurant for a truly exceptional dining experience.
What and Who to See?
If you’re staying at the SAHARA Las Vegas, check out the entertainment line up. The property features a wide variety of genres and artists. The venue itself is just the right size, roomy but with that intimate, they’re-only-playing-for-you feel. Alternatively, check out who’s playing at Brooklyn Bowl. As they say: Eat, Drink, Rock & Roll! And by eating, we’re certain they must be talking about their chicken and waffles.
For a thrill…
If you’re looking for a way to get your adrenaline pumping, check out Vegas Indoor Skydiving. Located near the Convention Center, it’s like free-falling minus the part where you jump out of a plane. If you’re looking to up the ante, try one of the Stratosphere Tower Activities. You can jump off an 829-foot tower or dangle 109 stories in the air.
For the best views…
Don’t miss the High Roller. It’s a 550-foot tall observatory wheel that offers the best views of Las Vegas. There are 28 enclosed cabins and one revolution of the wheel takes about thirty minutes.
