Day 1: Classic Vegas and Sky-High Thrills
Start your first morning by soaking up the Strip’s electric energy with breakfast at Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe in the LINQ Promenade. Their tiramisu pancakes are a delicious way to ease into Vegas life and you’ll love their bright, bustling atmosphere—think retro tile floors and pastry cases that look straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.
After breakfast, it’s just steps to the High Roller Observation Wheel. Ride in a futuristic glass pod to experience 550 feet of panoramic city views—day or night, the desert skyline feels endless from up top. The ride is relaxing, a perfect way to orient yourself and snap group selfies above the action below.
Next, stroll over to Madame Tussauds, just a few minutes’ walk away at The Venetian. Here, you’ll pose with incredibly lifelike A-listers—snag a photo cuddling up to Vegas legends or challenge friends to pull the best star-studded pose. It’s lighthearted fun you’ll be talking about all day.
Break for lunch at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (also at The Venetian). The craft burgers and milkshakes are larger than life, and the vibe feels casual, with brick walls and a soundtrack of feel-good hits to keep the energy rolling.
For an afternoon adventure, dash over to the Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York-New York (walk or grab a short Uber ride). Twist and loop above the massive hotel skyline—the heart-pounding drops and Manhattan skyline replicas make this a must for any adrenaline junkies.
Before dinner, unwind with a minus5° "Cool Experience" at The Venetian Canal Shoppes. Don a cozy parka and sip cocktails served in ice glasses among frosty sculptures—it's Vegas, with a chilly twist and lots of fun photo ops.
Dinner tonight: Eataly at Park MGM. From pasta and pizza to charcuterie towers, this artisanal food hall combines tempting smells and lively Italian energy for a dinner that’s as much about atmosphere as flavor.
If you want to keep the night going, hop on the Big Bus Las Vegas Night Time Tour for an open-top ride through Las Vegas’s glowing streets—an unbeatable way to see the Strip’s twinkling lights and dramatic hotels without breaking a sweat.
Day 2: Downtown Stories and Neon Nights
Start at the Las Vegas Downtown – Fremont St. Walking Tour (take Deuce or SDX bus to Fremont Street Experience). This area’s old-school neon signs and colorful street performers bring a playful feel while your guide shares tales of Vegas’s past, present, and wildest characters.
Grab lunch at Pizza Rock nearby—home to creative pies (try the “Honey Pie” with soppressata and spicy honey). The vibe is energetic, with pizza ovens blazing and a classic-rock soundtrack thumping.
Next, explore the Mob Museum, just a couple of blocks away. Interactive stories, artifacts, and the basement speakeasy make the city’s fascinating gangster past come alive. It’s equal parts suspenseful and educational, and you’ll leave with a real sense of Old Vegas intrigue.
In the afternoon, catch a short bus ride or stroll to The Neon Museum. This outdoor collection of retro neon signs feels wonderfully nostalgic, and the hour-long walking tour is a great way to discover the city’s glittery legacy.
Start the evening with dinner at Therapy on Fremont Street, where American comfort classics are served in a loft-style setting (we’re talking whiskey-glazed meatloaf and creamy truffle mac n’ cheese).
Before heading back, enjoy people-watching under the Fremont Street Experience light show—free and unforgettable.
Day 3: Offbeat Museums and Real Bodies
Day 3: Offbeat Museums and Real Bodies
Begin your day at the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum (take the bus or a short ride-share from most Strip hotels). Kids and adults alike love the dinosaur displays, ancient Egypt exhibit, and hands-on science fun—the dino sculptures and sparkling gemstones draw everyone in.
Recharge with lunch at PublicUs, just east of Fremont. It’s a hipster paradise: locally roasted coffee, Japanese-style egg sandwiches, and a minimalist vibe with plenty of plants and bright window light.
After lunch, return to the Strip for the Real Bodies at Horseshoe Las Vegas exhibit. This immersive experience walks you through anatomy, human evolution, and intricate art installations—a surprisingly moving, mind-expanding stop that’ll spark conversation.
With some afternoon energy left, walk or take a quick monorail to the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. Home to world-class rotating exhibits set within elegant, intimate rooms, it’s a delightful dash of culture (with a side of air conditioning).
Dinner tonight is at LAGO by Julian Serrano (Bellagio), where you’ll dine on inventive Italian small plates while the floor-to-ceiling windows put the Bellagio fountains front and center—a feast for both eyes and tastebuds.
After dinner, stroll by the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens—a free treat where whimsical seasonal displays amaze with bold colors and imaginative floral sculptures.
Day 4: Adventure Out, Vegas Style
Throw on your hiking shoes for a Las Vegas Hiking Adventure by Love Hikes in Red Rock Canyon. Morning pickup from the Strip whisks you out to red sandstone cliffs and boulders, where your guide tailors the hike to your group’s pace. Views feel dramatic, and the stillness of the desert offers a wonderful reset after days of city bustle.
Back in town, refuel with lunch at Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Town Square—think Crispy Deviled Eggs and BBQ Bison Meatloaf in a warm, lodge-inspired setting.
Make your afternoon extra memorable: steer a GoCar Tour of The Strip, zipping past legendary casinos in a GPS-narrated mini-car. Plug in your route, play your favorite soundtrack, and wave at tourists snapping photos, all while hearing fun city facts.
For dinner, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar serves up Southern comfort fare—cheddar waffles with fried chicken, deviled eggs, and a signature old fashioned. Wood-beamed ceilings, mason jar cocktails, and a country playlist make it feel cozy and fun.
Wind down the day at The Tower at the STRAT. Take the elevator up for panoramic evening views—Las Vegas twinkles from every angle, making this one of our top picks for a romantic nightcap or spectacular family photos.
Day 5: Shows, Laughs, and Living It Up
Kick off the morning with a Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour of the Strip and Downtown. Grab a top-deck seat, snap photos of legendary casinos, and hop out at anywhere that piques your interest.
Stop for lunch at Shake Shack at New York-New York, where the cheeseburgers are famously juicy and the crinkle fries always come hot. The casual picnic-table vibe lets everyone relax and refuel before the afternoon fun.
Afternoon means showtime: tickets to KA by Cirque du Soleil at MGM Grand. The acrobatics and epic storytelling are literally jaw-dropping, whether you’re a longtime fan or cirque newbie.
For dinner, we love Hakkasan Restaurant—gorgeous blue-lit interiors set the mood for creative Cantonese plates like crispy duck salad and dim sum platters. In the same complex, you’ll find chic lounge areas if you’re tempted to stick around for after-dinner cocktails.
Not ready for bed? Take things up a notch with the Rockstar Nightclub Tour by Vegas Rockstar VIP. This guided nightlife hop whisks you into Vegas’s hottest clubs without a line in sight. Expect dance floors that pulse with energy, creative cocktails, and that unique sense of Vegas anything-goes camaraderie.
Prefer a family-friendly finish? Stroll over to The Australian Bee Gees Show at Excalibur for an upbeat musical tribute, or try the whimsical Nathan Burton Magic Show—both keep the energy high and spirits lifted.
Day 6: Sweet Farewells and Last Hurrahs
Day 6: Sweet Farewells and Last Hurrahs
Savor your final Vegas morning at Eggslut at The Cosmopolitan—don’t miss their signature coddled egg with silky potato purée. This sleek spot buzzes with locals, especially for brunch.
Post-breakfast, take on the Fly LINQ Zipline for an adrenaline rush over the LINQ Promenade. The zipline launches you from a 12-story tower and delivers unbeatable Strip views with a full blast of wind-in-your-hair fun.
Wander the Promenade afterward; duck into the shops, or treat yourself to one last sweet at Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop—the Sea Salt Caramel Sundae is pure happiness in a cup.
Before you wave goodbye, unravel the puzzles at The Official "SAW" Escape Room or Escape IT: The Sewers. It’s the perfect way to add a dose of excitement (and maybe a little teamwork) to your last day.
For a fond farewell meal, step into Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas. The bright, Parisian bistro décor, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Strip-side outdoor tables create a warm send-off as you tuck into steak frites or fresh crepes.
And if you still have energy, rise to the top of the Eiffel Tower Experience for one last dazzling view. As Las Vegas twinkles beneath you, toast to six days well spent—and start plotting your next trip back.
Six days, countless adventures, and only one Vegas—each one a little different, every day packed with new discoveries. Ready, set, neon on!
