Hoover Dam tour

Richard Petty Driving Experience

An exhilarating experience you'll both love is a ride-along with an expert driver at the Richard Petty Driving Experience.

Celebrate Labor Day: Las Vegas Adventures for Every Traveler

The rest of the country may be winding down their summer, but in Las Vegas, Labor Day is just getting started. That’s right: from sun-soaked pool parties and over-the-top brunches to gravity-defying rides and skyline views, this is a city that knows how to make a long weekend count. Whether you’ve come for sizzling nightlife, gourmet bites, thrilling adventures, or simply want a chance to relax in style, Vegas brings its A-game every Labor Day. Let us show you where to eat, play, relax, and toast to the hardest workers around—yourself included.  Our top ways to celebrate Labor Day in Las Vegas:  High Roller Observation Wheel  Strip Highlights Night Flight on Papillon Helicopter  The Big Apple Roller Coaster  Daytime Pool Parties  The Mob Museum  Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil at New York-New York!  Fremont Street Experience and Downtown Walking Tour  Sweet Sin Bakery & Café at the LINQ Promenade  Hiking at Red Rock Canyon with Las Vegas Hiking Adventures  minus5º “Cool Experience” at the Venetian  High Roller Observation Wheel: Vegas at Its Most Dazzling  Why do we always recommend the High Roller for Labor Day? Simple: in just half an hour, you get 360-degree views of neon cityscapes, desert mountains, and endless skies—all while lounging in a glass pod high above the Strip. Day or night, the energy up there is electric (and the pods are air-conditioned, hallelujah). Plus, each pod queues up fun facts about Vegas history and pop culture. Some even come with a bartender! It’s the ultimate way to start your Labor Day celebrations or wrap up an unforgettable evening, cocktail in hand, watching the city light up below.  The Big Apple Roller Coaster: Adrenaline in the City of Lights  You know you’ve always wanted to ride a roller coaster above the Las Vegas Strip. The Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York-New York lets you tear through loop-the-loops and plummet toward the neon chaos below—all while your friends laugh, scream, and cheer alongside you. The vibe is pure fun, music pumping, and the city zooming by in a blur. Perfect for starting your Labor Day with a shot of adrenaline or capping off a Strip stroll with a rush.  Daytime Pool Parties: Where Labor Day Means Life’s a Splash  Labor Day weekend practically invented the Vegas pool party. Nearly every resort throws an aquatic bash—think DJ sets, splashy cocktails, and floaties shaped like flamingos or giant slices of pizza. Popular pools like Encore Beach Club or Drai’s Beachclub set the bar high, but you’ll find everyone sporting shades and dancing in the shallow end. Loungers, cabanas, and swim-up bars keep the sun flowing. Never been? This is the vibe: sun-warmed, music-filled, everyone in a party mood.  The Mob Museum: Intrigue and True Vegas History  You’ll want something a little different to balance out all the hedonism, and the Mob Museum delivers. Housed in a former courthouse, this downtown hidden gem draws you into the gritty, fascinating world of organized crime—and law enforcement’s boldest moments. Interactive exhibits, real artifacts, hidden speakeasies, and a basement distillery make every visit feel like a choose-your-own-adventure. The stories are wild (and true), and the vibe blends old-school cool with modern tech. Even the rooftop holds a secret Prohibition cocktail experience. If you want your Labor Day to come with a side of untold stories, this spot is a must.  Fremont Street Experience and Downtown Walking Tour: Retro Vegas, Remixed  What’s Labor Day without a little classic Vegas? Head downtown for the Fremont Street Experience, where vintage neon, street performers, and live music meet sky-high zip lines and people-watching perfection. Join a walking tour to find secret speakeasies, quirky art installations, and the best neon signs this side of the 1960s. Guides dish out history, local gossip, and plenty of food advice. Pro tip: pop into nearby Mob Museum or snag a cocktail beneath the dazzling Viva Vision light show.  Sweet Sin Bakery & Café at the LINQ Promenade: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth  Locals rave about this playful patisserie, set in the heart of the bustling LINQ Promenade. Sweet Sin is all about French-inspired desserts—from glossy fruit tarts and creamy tiramisu cups to lovingly-layered mille-feuille. Their standout? The bright, pillowy strawberry mochi, a treat as cute as it is delicious. The café has a cheerful, Instagram-friendly vibe (think neon pink splashes and glass display cases), plus cold brew and specialty teas for a midday cool-down. The High Roller is just steps away, making it perfect for a pre- or post-ride treat.  Hiking at Red Rock Canyon with Las Vegas Hiking Adventures: Desert Magic Close to Town  Need a little escape from the city buzz? Head west for Red Rock Canyon, where Las Vegas Hiking Adventures can guide you along spectacular sandstone cliffs and winding trails. Labor Day mornings are ideal: crisp air, vivid desert colors, and a sense of untouched Nevada wilderness. Guides here share stories of ancient petroglyphs, local flora (hello, Joshua trees), and all the best photo spots. It’s energizing and centering—plus, you’ll earn your poolside nap later!  minus5º “Cool Experience” at the Venetian: Chill Out Vegas-Style  When Labor Day heat hits triple digits, nothing feels better than stepping inside minus5º at the Venetian. This ice lounge delivers a world made entirely of ice—sculptures, glasses, the works—set to LED lights and club beats. Parkas, gloves, and hats are provided for your chilly session, and the themed cocktails add festive fun. Expect surreal photo-ops and more than a few giggles as you warm up to the experience. It’s playful, cool (literally), and perfectly Vegas.    Labor Day in Las Vegas is what you make of it—and no one does “more” quite like this city. Whether you’re soaking up sun, flying high, feasting your way down the Strip, or recharging your sense of wonder, we promise every moment here is one you’ll want to remember all year long.    Enjoyed this? Check out our guide to magnificent mornings on the Strip, and how to make a birthday bash utterly brilliant.  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.

Las Vegas Bachelorette Party Ideas & Tips

Every friend group needs at least one friend to have their bachelorette party in Las Vegas. We put together some of our top tips and ideas for planning the best Las Vegas Bachelorette Party Weekend getaway with the girls, including where to stay, things to do, and where to eat. Tips for Planning Ideal length of stay: 3 days, 3 nights (this is not a hard-and-fast rule, just somewhere to start) Schedule in a little time for some R&R in your hotel room or plan a relaxing activity like a guided day trip, lounging at the pool, catching a show, or pampering at the spa. When planning for a group, let guests pick a couple of their activities (spa day vs. lounging at the pool, etc.) Skip the custom t-shirts and treat yourselves to an activity or extra special dinner instead (nobody ever wears those shirts again anyway!) Book accommodations and activities in advance to make sticking to a budget for the group easier. (Be sure to make any necessary reservations well in advance too.) Tips for saving on a hotel Shop around, look for promotions for Vegas hotels on budget travel sites, consider amenities that save money, such as airport shuttle service, pool access, a kitchenette, free parking, etc. Plan your trip first, and think about amenities you don't need. Booking a limo service to pick everyone up at the airport? Shuttle service might not be as big a draw. Going on a guided Pool Party Tour? Access to the hotel pool isn't much of a perk, etc. Budget Hotels (rooms are just for sleeping anyway, right?): some budget-friendly hotels on the strip to consider are, New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Motel 8 Las Vegas, Hilton Grand Vacations Suites at the Flamingo, The Mirage, and Treasure Island. High-Roller Hotels (you only get married once, right?): if you're looking for a little luxury on the strip, some hotels to consider are Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Caesars Palace, The Palazzo, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore. Bachelorette Party Activities Give your guests an idea of the itinerary before the trip so that they know what to expect (and what to pack). Include the weather forecast when you touch base with all of the ladies right before the trip. For Relaxing Chances are, everybody will need a break from the parties and celebrations at some point during your trip to relax and restore. Schedule in some time to do something relaxing like seeing a show or hitting the spa. Sit back and relax as you glide through the picturesque streetscape on an outdoor gondola ride at The Venetian®. You'll feel like you're traveling through the canals of Venice while your guide serenades you. (Great photo opp!) Don't go to Vegas without catching a show at the famous V Theater . Or, loosen up the crowd and get the laughs going by taking the famous Stripper 101 class -- memories, guaranteed. Head to a luxurious spa for some Vegas-style pampering and professional detoxing. Schedule group massages, check out some hot tubs, or indulge in some mani/ pedis. Check out one of the top 5 picks from SheKnows.com. For Enrichment Explore the Strip. Get out and see the sunshine. It's easy to spend an entire day indoors with all the hotels and casinos have to offer. Explore the Strip on foot (be prepared, the Strip is 4 miles long) or, board a hop-on hop-off guided bus tour. Make sure you see the famous "Las Vegas, Nevada" sign and snap a pic with the whole group as a souvenir. Catch the famous fountain show at The Bellagio, walk over the "Brooklyn Bridge" at New York New York, and more. Where to Dine Otherwise known as: our favorite topic to write about, Las Vegas being no exception. For Brunching Is there such a thing as too many mimosas? Definitely not in Vegas. Head to the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan for bubbles and brunch. Go for the bottomless mimosas, chicken and waffles, and the buffet-style amazing-ness that diners rave about (for good reason). Fans of "the Cake Boss" need to check out Buddy V's, Buddy Valastro's first restaurant. Their brunch menu features classic brunch creations served buffet-style and bottomless libations such as sangria, bloody marys, bloody caesars, and more. If you're like us, on Sundays, one of your favorite activities and checking the #bloodymary hashtag on instagram. Head to Todd English P.U.B. for break-the-internet-worthy bloody marys and some tasty bites. Find out what keeps all of the rave reviews coming at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Culinary Dropout, a trendy establishment with an innovative menu (pretzel fondue, anyone?), inviting atmosphere, and live music on select nights. Looking for classic American fare and a fun tourist-y dining experience? Be sure to check out the Planet Hollywood right on the strip. It's an easy place to go with a big group and the Hollywood movie-inspired atmosphere always promises a good time. The ever-popular In-N-Out Burger is always an option and might be a bucket list item for some of your guests. Located just off the strip on the other side of Interstate 15, it's a little tricky to get to, but we promise it's worth the small trek! Insider tip: be sure to get your double-double with a side of french fries "animal style", trust us, they're amazing. Have you been to a Las Vegas Bachelorette Party? Let us know if you would add any suggestions to our list in the comments below!
