Where to Stay

The two most popular areas for accommodations are the famous Vegas Strip and downtown Vegas, known as Old Las Vegas. There are hotels on the strip that range from budget-friendly to extreme luxury, with more expensive hotels towards the middle where most of the action is located. Caesars Palace is a great option because it offers a range of rooms at different prices. If you’re staying in the downtown area, opt for classic hotels like The Golden Nugget or The D. 

What to Do

Gambling is naturally the most popular attraction in Vegas. There are countless casinos to choose from, ranging from budget-friendly basic casinos to multi-story casinos with everything you could imagine inside. For budget options, check out the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino; for higher-end options, indulge in gambling at The Wynn or the Cosmopolitan. 

Don’t forget to check out Vegas’ many eateries! Popular restaurants like Mon Ami Gabi, which offers up French cuisine right in the middle of the Vegas Strip, are a must-try at least one during your visit. If you love buffets, the buffet at the famous Wynn casino is well-regarded as Vegas’ best. 

Aside from gambling, Vegas is home to some fantastic entertainment. There are countless shows running 7 days a week, from theatrical productions to concerts to circuses and much more. Consult with a ticket agency to find out what is playing during your visit.
