Las Vegas Spring Break

Everyone knows that Las Vegas is the best destination in the world for theatre, music, and dance. It is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, after all. From the iconic Cirque de Soleil to hilarious comedy shows to animal-themed shows, you’ll find something to suit every interest and every price point.

An unmissable show is The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil, a multi-sensory spectacle that combines an epic soundtrack from the most famous band in the world with stunning choreography and seriously impressive aerial acrobatics.

Not got your fill of psychedelics? Try the Blue Man Group for an intense display of color to the beat of jaw-dropping drumming. Get down the front to the 'splash zone' if you're feeling particularly keen to be a part of this immersive experience.

You can use your Las Vegas Pass to see the jaw-dropping KÀ by Cirque du Soleil, which is a Premium option on the All-Inclusive pass.

The Las Vegas Strip is a truly amazing sight – it’s all glitz and glam and bright lights. What better way to get a glimpse of these magnificent views than from an aerial vantage point like the Stratosphere Observation Deck?

Or, if you prefer your sightseeing to be a little more exciting, check out the High Roller Observation Wheel at the LINQ, which is itself a fabulous shopping and dining complex that should be a must-visit on your spring break. Both options provide excellent photo opportunities, so you’re sure to get that perfect skyline photo. The kids will love being up at such great heights, too!

Who said Las Vegas was nothing but casinos? There are plenty of great, nationally acclaimed museums that are sure to make any spring break vacation just a little bit more cultural. The Las Vegas Natural History Museum and the artsy Neon Museum are right next to one another, just north of Downtown Las Vegas.

Are you a history buff? Try something fun and unique like the Mob Museum, which showcases the history of the mafia in American culture – both real and cinematic.

While most people think of Las Vegas as being in the middle of the desert, did you know that Springs Preserve is within easy reach? Comprised of more than 100 acres of botanical gardens and parkland, Springs Preserve is a lovely place to commune with nature. Bike, run, or stroll through miles of pathways to enjoy the greenery.

Along with multiple different themed gardens (including everything from an herb garden and rose garden to the obligatory cactus garden), you'll also find a few important museums. The Nevada State Museum is chock-full of natural history and the Origen Museum explores the history of contemporary Las Vegas.

While getting the kids to Europe may be a plan for the future, there's a way to get them to Paris without the expense of a flight to France. Head to the Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas, a delightful recreation of some of the top landmarks in Paris right in the heart of the Strip.

First, you'll get to ascend to the 46th story of another exciting observation deck – this one decked out to look just like the Eiffel Tower (at half-scale size). Then, explore various other landmarks on the ground like the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Paris Opera House. It's a great place for photos and everyone will love feeling like they just stepped into a whole new world.

No one said you had to stay in Vegas during your spring break – sometimes getting out of the city can be the best part! Especially with such amazing nearby attractions like the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam, it’s easy enough to be enticed by the natural world outside of the Strip and want to venture out.

So take a bus tour along the Grand Canyon for some amazing views and even more phenomenal pictures. And/or, check out the marvel of modern engineering that is the impressive Hoover Dam. Many tours will even pick up at hotels, taking all the pressure off in terms of transit.

One of the best things about Vegas is the incredible variety and quality of available popular shopping destinations. Whether you're looking for some high-end couture or some fun souvenirs. From the aforementioned LINQ to the local favorite Container Park, there are some awesome choices when it comes to souvenir shopping.

This is even a good place to pick out new clothes, jewelry, shoes, movies, music, dishes – you name it, you can buy it in Vegas. We recommend shopping early in the day so you can return to your hotel and drop off the stuff before heading out for a great dinner or show in the evening.
