Dinner at Yardbird
End the night digging into southern bites at Yardbird inside The Venetian. The fried chicken and waffles are legendarily crispy, and the bourbon menu is unmatched. The sleek, bustling dining space offers energy without being overwhelming—a great mix for couples and groups alike.
Free Evening Fun
As dusk falls, watch the Bellagio Fountains (free and spectacularly choreographed)—the perfect Vegas nightcap.
Day 2: Downtown’s Dazzling Sights
Morning History at The Mob Museum
Head downtown via the Deuce bus, then stroll to The Mob Museum. The exhibits here are packed with drama—from roaring Prohibition years to behind-the-scenes stories about Vegas’ wild history. Interactive displays, vintage photos, and even a speakeasy downstairs make this space both fun and fascinating.
Lunch at Therapy

Afternoons at The Neon Museum
Walk or grab a quick rideshare to The Neon Museum, where all those vintage Vegas signs glow again in retirement. Wander among glowing relics for unbeatable photos and a crash course in Sin City style—from 1950s gamblers’ haunts to glitzy showgirl marquees.
Free Fremont Street Sights
Don’t miss the Fremont Street Experience—a pedestrian mall buzzing with street performers, DJs, and trippy LED canopy shows overhead. From zip-lining down SlotZilla to sipping frozen drinks, it’s lively and totally unique (and people-watching gold).

Dinner at Sushi Samba
Still at The Venetian, experience Sushi Samba’s electric, jungle-inspired ambiance. The sashimi seviche platter and yellowtail taquitos are house specialties, and the fusion cocktails are an adventure of their own.
Day 4: Family Thrills & Games
Morning Racing at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix
Take a trip to Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix, an easy ride northwest from the Strip via taxi or rideshare. With go-karts, kid-friendly coasters, and a fun zone of classic arcade games, this spot is guaranteed grin fuel for families (or the kid in all of us).
Lunch at Lola’s
Head back towards downtown to Lola’s for a taste of N'awlins. Their signature shrimp and grits shine, but save room for the lush, praline bread pudding. The breezy patio and friendly local vibe make you feel instantly at home.

Rooftop Drinks at Skyfall Lounge
When night falls, ascend to Skyfall Lounge at Delano Las Vegas. This sleek rooftop bar delivers unbeatable panoramic views and creative cocktails—the honey-lavender gin fizz is a must. It’s all chic lighting and comfy couches, with a soundtrack as smooth as the drinks.
Day 6: Quirky Vegas
Day 6: Quirky Vegas
Morning at The Official “SAW” Escape Room
Rally your brave-hearted friends for The Official "SAW" Escape Room, just off Industrial Road. The immersive props and multi-room puzzles give you adrenaline, chills, and plenty of victory fist-bumps (or shrieks).
Lunch at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer
After conquering your escape, swing by Black Tap at The Venetian for lunch. Their award-winning burgers—like the Greg Norman, with wagyu and blue cheese—are juicy and inventive. Treat yourself to a towering CrazyShake milkshake, simply overflowing with cookies and sprinkles. Modern graffiti art, neon signs, and music turn this into a high-energy lunch stop.
Afternoon at Hollywood Cars Museum
Once you’re fueled up, catch a short rideshare or taxi south to the Hollywood Cars Museum. Film fans and gearheads alike will love wandering among over 100 vehicles from movies and TV—think Batmobiles, James Bond rides, even Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean. The fun, informal layout lets everyone find their favorite up close, and there are plenty of prime selfie opportunities with legendary on-screen cars.
Sunset at The Tower at the STRAT
Next, hop on the Deuce bus up Las Vegas Boulevard to the STRAT’s soaring observation deck. As the sun sets, take in sweeping desert and neon views from 1,149 feet up. If you’re craving an adrenaline rush, try one of the thrill rides hanging off the side—Big Shot, Insanity, or X-Scream elevate more than just the senses!
Dinner at Top of the World
Round out the day with dinner just a few floors down at Top of the World at STRAT. This revolving restaurant offers delicious cuts of steak and fresh seafood, but the real star is the slow, 360-degree rotation, ensuring you don’t miss a single angle of that sparkling cityscape. The ambience is chic and slightly retro, with just enough glam for a special Vegas night out.
Day 7: One Last Vegas Hurrah
Morning Stroll & Art at The Punk Rock Museum
Embrace Vegas’s offbeat energy on your final day with a trip to The Punk Rock Museum. A short taxi or rideshare from the Strip, this museum presents gritty artifacts, wild exhibits, and actual punk musicians acting as guides (if you’re lucky with timing). Wall-to-wall memorabilia and instantly recognizable album art make this a joy—even for kids or casual music fans.
Brunch at Eat
Slide over to Eat in downtown’s Fremont East for brunch—it’s beloved for its laid-back, contemporary-diner style. Their cinnamon biscuits with strawberry compote are a showstopper, and the truffled egg sandwich is a must for anyone needing a little extra oomph to power through the last hours of vacation.
Las Vegas Downtown Walking Tour
Let a local guide you on a walking tour of Fremont Street and downtown Vegas—Las Vegas Walking Tours provides the scoop on old-school casinos, neon art, and secret stories you’d never catch on your own. There’s something infectious about strolling beneath the vintage canopies, meeting artists, and feeling the city’s creative pulse.
Free Time: Relax or Last-Minute Fun
Honestly, at this point, you’ve earned a few hours to shop, lounge by your hotel pool, or sneak in some last-minute slots or souvenir hunting. If you’ve got energy to burn, try the Big Bus Las Vegas Night Tour for a breezy, open-top adventure with the Strip at its gaudiest and most glittering.
Farewell Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi
For your final meal, we recommend Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas. Snag a terrace table, order steak frites or their heavenly trout almondine, and toast your Vegas victory with a perfectly chilled glass of bubbly.
