Day 1: Kick Off on the Strip 

Begin at the High Roller Observation Wheel 

Start your week soaring sky-high on the High Roller at The LINQ. The world’s tallest observation wheel serves up stunning 360-degree views of Las Vegas and the valley beyond, especially magical in the morning sunlight. Each climate-controlled pod feels like a VIP lounge with incredible photo ops—trust us, this is how to say “I’m in Vegas!” 

Brunch at Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe 

Step off the wheel and stroll to Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe, just down the LINQ Promenade. Order their signature cannolis and a silky latte, or go savory with their loaded breakfast croissants. The patio seating here is perched right in heart of the action, perfect for people-watching. 

Zip Around with a GoCar Tour 

Hop into a bright yellow GoCar and zoom down the Strip, GPS-guided commentary at every turn. The little three-wheelers make you feel like a kid again, and the open-air design means you’ll catch every wild sight and street performer. You’ll pass icons like the Bellagio Fountains, Caesar’s Palace, and the erupting Mirage volcano. Grab photos along the way—the tour stops are ultra selfie-friendly. 

Getting Around: The High Roller, Sweet Sin, and GoCar starting points are all clustered around the LINQ Promenade and Flamingo Road. Strolling on foot is easy here. Ready to rest? Hop on the Deuce bus along Las Vegas Blvd for quick transfers. 

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 

Pause for lunch at Therapy, just a block away. Exposed brick, trailing greenery, and buzzing energy make it a fun hang. Try their “In Therapy” burger—or for the adventurous, the fried chicken and red velvet waffle sliders. 

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 Carson Kitchen 

Pop over to Carson Kitchen, a local legend for creative comfort food in a stylish, industrial-chic setting. Grab the crispy chicken skins (trust us), followed by the bacon jam burger or “secret” meatloaf. 

Day 3: Cosmopolitan Vegas

Morning with Art at Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art 

Escape the crowds and soak in masterpieces at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, tucked just off the casino floor. The exhibits range widely, from Impressionist paintings to contemporary sculpture. The gallery is quiet, air-conditioned bliss—a true treat for anyone craving a moment of culture. 

Brunch at Sadelle’s 

Located inside the Bellagio Conservatory, Sadelle’s serves elaborate brunch classics under sparkling chandeliers. The smoked salmon platter and thick-cut French toast will start your day on a high note. 

Afternoon at Madame Tussauds 

Head to The Venetian and snap selfies with life-size wax celebrities at Madame Tussauds. Marvel at how lifelike the figures feel, and lose yourself in themed rooms—from Marvel superheroes to A-list pop stars. It’s silly fun for any age. 

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. 

Early Afternoon: Real Bodies at Horseshoe Las Vegas 

Back on the Strip, Real Bodies at Horseshoe Las Vegas offers a fascinating, elegantly presented exploration of human anatomy. The immersive displays prompt awe and just enough learning to make you feel smug about spending your vacation wisely. 

Evening: KA by Cirque du Soleil 

Wrap up with the high-octane acrobatics of KA at MGM Grand. Fiery stunts, epic staging, and a gigantic rotating platform deliver a supercharged evening. Every seat feels close to the action, and you’ll leave grinning and buzzing. 

Day 5: Escape & Outdoor Adventure 

Morning Hike with Las Vegas Hiking Adventures 

Leave the lights behind for a few hours and meet your guides at a pre-arranged Strip pickup (they’ll whisk you out via comfy van). Red Rock Canyon’s red-rock formations astound, while guides share stories and insider hiking tips. Reconnect with nature and feel yourself unwind. 

Casual Lunch at Panacea 

Back in the city, Panacea serves up creative, plant-based power bowls and vitamin-packed juices in a bright, Zen setting—perfect for refueling post-adventure. 

Fly LINQ Zipline 

That afternoon, get your adrenaline pumping above the LINQ Promenade with Fly LINQ. Soar over shoppers and boutiques, then land ready for round two of Strip exploring. 

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

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. The view directly onto the Bellagio Fountains amps the experience—you’ll feel like you’re in the center of it all, at the very heart of Las Vegas. 

 

There you have it—seven days in Las Vegas, packed with thrills, food, and memories you’ll savor for years. From sky-high views and daredevil adventures to laid-back brunches, dazzling museums, and wild nights out, Vegas comes alive when you give it the whole week.

Fremont Street Fun: Top Experiences You Can’t Miss in Downtown Vegas

Ready to experience Vegas beyond the tourist-packed Strip? Let’s talk about Fremont Street—a wild, joyful mashup of historic casinos, jaw-dropping light shows, street performers on stilts, and some of the city’s tastiest bites and quirkiest attractions. Downtown Las Vegas feels like a party that never ends, whether you’re ziplining above the crowds, sipping retro cocktails, or getting a front-row seat to neon history. Want to pack your day (and night) with unforgettable Fremont Street moments? Here’s where the fun begins.  Our fave things to do on and around Fremont Street include:  Fremont Street Experience  The Mob Museum  The Neon Museum  SlotZilla Zipline  Container Park  Circa Stadium Swim  Downtown cocktail hop  Golden Nugget’s Shark Tank  Secret Pizza at Pizza Rock  Fremont Street Experience: The Heartbeat of Downtown Vegas  Every trip to Fremont Street should start under the Viva Vision canopy. This pedestrian mall thrums day and night with dazzling LED displays high overhead—think epic music videos and light shows that ripple across 1,500 feet of screen. The vibe is nothing short of electric: towering neon, classic casinos, three stages blasting live bands, wild buskers, and that unbeatable energy you can’t fake.  When the Viva Vision show sparks to life (every hour after sunset), the crowd collectively looks up—and for a few minutes, you’re wrapped in a Vegas spectacle that feels utterly unique. Try to time your visit with a scheduled tribute, whether it’s Queen, The Killers, or Imagine Dragons. Don’t miss the people-watching either. You’ll spot everything from Elvis impersonators to flame-jugglers and maybe even a wedding party in sequins. Whether you stroll through with a yard-long margarita or post up by a classic casino like the Golden Nugget, this spot captures that pure downtown buzz.  The Neon Museum: Vegas’s Glowiest Time Capsule  You’ve seen photos: an otherworldly boneyard of neon signs sparkling against the desert sky. The Neon Museum preserves Vegas’s brightest relics—giant martini glasses from long-lost bars, massive casino letters, grinning cowboy silhouettes. A guided tour weaves you through decades of sin city style, telling each sign’s story and the legends who brightened the city’s nights.  Night tours are a favorite. The restored signs flicker back to their original glory, washing the gravel “boneyard” in pink, orange, and blue. You’ll snap showstopping photos and maybe pick up surprising trivia (did you know about the Moulin Rouge’s connection to civil rights?). The museum sits just a short walk or Uber from Fremont—so even the location feels like a hidden downtown find. For anyone keen to feel vintage Vegas vibes, nothing beats a sunset stroll among these glowing giants.  SlotZilla Zipline: Fly Over the Frenzy  Is your inner daredevil itching for a thrill? Sling yourself into the thick of downtown action with SlotZilla—a zipline that launches riders beneath the Viva Vision canopy! Choose traditional “Zip-Zilla” (sitting, 77 feet up) or go all-in with “Super-Hero Zoom” (prone, superhero-style, 114 feet above the crowd). The rush is unbeatable as you soar above onlookers for a few blocks of pure adrenaline.  SlotZilla is more than just a ride; it gives you a totally fresh perspective on Fremont. You’ll spot costumed street performers, catch the casino lights winking up at you, and hear the live music blurring by as you zoom past. Day or night, the neon makes it feel one part retro video game, one part urban thrill ride. Wind in your hair, lights flashing below—this is downtown’s best selfie moment.  Container Park: Eats, Shops, and a Fire-Breathing Mantis  A block off Fremont, this open-air mall is a local favorite for good reason. Crafted entirely from repurposed shipping containers, it’s packed with indie boutiques, quirky art, playgrounds, and a lineup of truly fun eats and drinks. The massive praying mantis at the entrance literally spits fire on the hour—kids and grown-ups love it.  Grab tacos at Pinches or savor gourmet popcorn while listening to live music on the treehouse stage. The central play area is family-friendly by day, then morphs into a trendy spot for date-night cocktails or craft beers after dark. Local artisans hawk everything from handmade jewelry to wild vintage finds. Container Park’s creative energy (and super walkable setup) make it a cheerful downtown detour when you need a break from the ringing slots.  Circa Stadium Swim: Pool Parties, Vegas-Style  If your idea of vacation is a pool, a cocktail, and a giant game on the screen, slide over to Circa’s Stadium Swim. Perched atop the newest (and adults-only) hotel on Fremont, this complex features six rooftop pools, multiple bars, and a 143-foot screen blaring sports and music videos all day.  You can rent a cushy daybed with friends or just float with your favorite drink—it’s laidback during the day and ramps up as the sun goes down. DJs spin poolside, sports fans cheer, and every inch feels purpose-built for group fun. The vibe is bright, social, and summery, even if you visit outside pool season—heated water means parties never stop. The skyline views alone are worth popping in for a photo or two.  Golden Nugget’s Shark Tank: Swim and Sip Next to Sharks  The Golden Nugget’s pool is a local legend, and not just for its waterfall or luxe cabanas. The centerpiece is a 200,000-gallon aquarium teeming with sharks and rays, smack in the middle of the pool area. You get the rare opportunity to glide down a three-story waterslide that takes you right through the center of the tank—yes, separated by clear panels, but you’ll feel like you’re diving with the big fish. The experience is a wild mix of adrenaline and wonder, suitable for both kids craving a little thrill and grownups soaking up the sun in style.  Cabanas and loungers sprinkle the pool deck, with servers offering up signature cocktails—try the “Shark Bite” for fruity punch and a bit of Vegas cheek. Whether you stay for a dip, snap photos by the tank, or just kick back and people-watch (it’s prime for this), the Golden Nugget pool brings the fun, flashy energy that’s made Fremont Street famous. When you need to escape the casino noise but still want serious novelty, this is your spot.  Secret Pizza at Pizza Rock: Late-Night Cravings Solved  Walking Fremont until midnight (or beyond) is practically a rite of passage, and when the munchies call, Pizza Rock answers with style. Tucked inside a rock’n’roll-themed dining room just off the main drag, this pizzeria slings seriously satisfying slices—crispy crusts, generous toppings, and drippy cheese blends that win awards year after year.  Ask about their “secret menu” and you might score a funky specialty pie (like the DJ 12-inch with ‘all the toppings’). For a true Vegas treat, grab the Sicilian-style slice: pillowy, cheesy perfection. The vibe is loud, lively, and giggle-inducing after a night out. Neon lights, punk posters, and high-energy staff make every late-night stop feel like a party. Already friends with the bartenders? They’ll usually know your name by your second round. Whether you need a pre-gamble bite or post-bar refuel, Pizza Rock’s generous pies are an essential downtown fix.  Bonus: Fremont’s Free Live Music and Street Performers  You don’t have to drop a dime to be wildly entertained on Fremont Street. Three stages bookend the pedestrian mall, hosting an ever-changing parade of bands—from ‘80s cover groups to blues guitar legends and EDM mashups. Dancers, magicians, and jaw-dropping acrobats line the walkways, so you’re never more than a few steps from a live show.  The street performers are part of Fremont’s wild character: you might spot a Michael Jackson tribute one block over and a saxophone prodigy the next. Local fans know the schedule by heart, and you’ll quickly see why—it’s the heartbeat of the area, with people of every age and background gathering to dance, cheer, and snag selfies.    Ready for your Fremont adventure? From poolside shark tanks to mouthwatering pizza and history that packs a punch, downtown Vegas is a whirlwind of bold lights and bigger personalities. It’s a wild ride you’ll want to savor every step of the way!    Enjoyed this? Check out our guide to the perfect birthday on the Strip, and see our picks of Vegas’ top casinos.  Step up your sightseeing with Go City®  We make it easy to explore the best a city has to offer. We’re talking top attractions, hidden gems and local tours, all for one low price.

New Year's Eve in Las Vegas

It's nearly time to ring in the new year. It's about time too. The last 12 months have been full of ups and downs, victories and tragedies. I guess it's the same every year, right? So, if you're heading to Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, you'll need to know about all the events in the city. In our guide, you'll learn everything you need to know to have the time of your life. Read on, take notes, and see you next year! Including: When is New Year's Eve in Las Vegas? Where is New Year's Eve in Las Vegas? Things to remember over New Year's Eve in Las Vegas Things to do on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas When is New Year's Eve in Las Vegas? It may sound like a silly question, but New Year's Eve celebrations in Las Vegas tend to stretch from December 30 - December 31, so if you want to make the most of your time, you can get in on the action early. Where is New Year's Eve in Las Vegas? You'll find things to do and ways to celebrate all across the city. That's just a little tease, because we need to talk about some dos and don'ts before we explore the Strip's NYE offerings. Things to remember over New Year's Eve in Las Vegas We're all for having a good time, but if you're celebrating your first New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, there are some things worth mentioning. Firstly, from 6AM on December 31 to 6AM on January 1, you cannot hold glass or aluminum containers on Las Vegas Blvd. This is to ensure people stay safe, while limiting the amount of dangerous litter that can accumulate throughout the day. It's also worth noting that large bags and purses, coolers, luggage of any kind (briefcases, backpacks, or cinch bags), computer and camera bags, strollers, and carts are also banned on the Strip and Downtown. Even children under 18 are not allowed on the Strip or Downtown throughout this time. And, given the above, you can't even sneak them in with a stroller. All jokes aside, the cops take these rules very seriously, so don't give them any reason to kick you out! Things to do on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas Now we've got all the boring - yet necessary - stuff out of the way; let's talk about something fun! What kinds of things can you get up to on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas? Whether you're looking for thrilling sit-down performances, fireworks, clubbing, or otherwise, we've got you covered. Check out our recommendations below! Image courtesy of mariakray/Shutterstock Blue Man Group This tireless trio of extraterrestrial entertainers will be at it one New Year's Eve too, bringing their liberally messy sound and color show to the Luxor Hotel & Casino at 2PM, 3PM, and 8PM. If you've never been to a Blue Man Group show, then you're in for a treat. Landing somewhere between a music performance and an art installation, the three blue-migos combine paint and drums to bring their performance to life. And they also have a 'drumbone', an instrument that's half-drum and half-trombone. It might not make sense now, but when you see it, you'll understand. It's worth noting that a combination of drums and paint is bound to make a splash. That's why we recommend that you take a waterproof and easily-washable clothes with you. There are dedicated splash zones, where punters are kitted out in stain-free gear, but you should always be wary of splash damage. The Blue Man Group takes no prisoners. Image courtesy of Marti Bug Catcher/Shutterstock Vegas Strip New Year's Eve Fireworks If you want to be out and about when the clock strikes 12, then you can't do much better than the New Year's Eve Fireworks. One of the most impressive fireworks displays in the country, you'll join thousands of other explosion-seekers as they gather around the Strip to ring in the new year. As all eyes are drawn to the sky, a magnificent barrage of fireworks will be fired off from the top of eight casinos surrounding the Strip. Over the course of ten wonderful minutes, over 80,000 fireworks will crack the sky, lighting up the whole of Vegas. But they're not just fired off with reckless abandon. Instead, they're timed to music that will blare out across the crowd. So, if you've never seen a choreographed firework display, you won't want to miss it. If you get there early, don't worry. The entire Strip becomes a pedestrian-only zone when the sun goes down, turning Vegas into one massive block party. Nice. Image courtesy of Jeffrey J Coleman/Shutterstock Fremont Street Party If you prefer pyrotechnics at eye level, then you'll find a similar block party at Fremont Street. While it may not boast the bangs of the fireworks on the Strip, it does come with some other exciting bonuses. For one, you'll see live performances from the likes of Sugar Ray, Bush, Sugarhill Gang, and Julian Marley and The Wailers. Secondly, it being an adults-only party, you're free to revel in all the boozy goodness us adults tend to love. So, if you aren't bringing the little ones with you and prefer bands over bangs, then check out Fremont Street Party. STARDUST at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center If you're an EDM junkie and want to ring in the New Year on a neon-soaked dancefloor, check out STARDUST at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. Headlined by none other than the famous disk spinner DEADMAU5, you'll have hours upon hours of boogies to woogie. Doors open at 5PM, and will stay open long into the January night. And if the mouse-headed man doesn't cut it, preceding him are equally funny-named DJs like REZZ, RL GRIME, Ghost RYDR, Marauda, Noizu, and Versa. Very cool. And that's it! Everything you need to know about New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, all tucked up into one handy guide. Whatever you decide to do, have a happy new year! But why stop there? After the dust has settled and the hangover's dispersed, why not make the most of your trip? Vegas still has plenty to offer, and with Go City, you'll experience the very best of the city for one low price. Check out our All-Inclusive Pass and Explorer Pass to see which works for you!
