High Roller Observation Wheel: See Vegas from the Sky 

Ready to get a fresh perspective on Las Vegas? Just steps from Fly LINQ, the High Roller Observation Wheel whisks you 550 feet above the Strip. From your climate-controlled pod, you’ll soak up panoramic views of city lights, desert mountains, and neon stretching to the horizon. Each rotation lasts about 30 minutes—perfect time to snap photos, spot landmarks, and maybe toast your adventure if you snag a happy hour cabin. The wheel spins slow enough for a relaxed vibe, but you definitely feel that WOW factor, especially at sunset or after dark. Pro tip: Visiting with friends? Every pod feels like your own private lounge, and the gentle glide means even the height-wary can enjoy this ride. It’s a classic Vegas thrill with next-level scenery. 

Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe at the LINQ Promenade: Treat Yourself 

Sometimes, you just need a sugar fix after a thrill ride. Head to Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe, nestled right on the LINQ Promenade. This spot serves up French-style pastries, creamy gelato, rich coffee, and breakfast sandwiches that are ideal for kickstarting (or refueling) your day on the Strip. Pick up a flaky croissant, a pistachio éclair, or sample their colorful macaron selection. The cafe’s relaxed vibe, pastel décor, and people-watching patio make it a prime pit stop for groups and solo adventurers alike. Don’t skip the signature tiramisu or the espresso—both give you a little extra pep for more Vegas exploring. 

Madame Tussauds Las Vegas: Strike a Pose with Legends 

Want to rub elbows with A-list celebs, music icons, and sports stars? Turn fantasy into reality at Madame Tussauds, just across the street at the Venetian. This immersive wax museum isn’t just about lifelike figures—it’s about jumping right into the action. You’re encouraged to pose, selfie, and even don a costume for your moment with everyone from Elvis to Beyoncé. There’s an epic Marvel superhero zone, a Vanderpump cocktail lounge for Vegas-style sipping, and themed sets that keep things fresh and funny. With clever interactive photo ops and a light-hearted atmosphere, you leave with not only great pics but real Vegas memories. 

Eiffel Tower Experience: Parisian Glam in the Desert

In Vegas, you can visit Paris without ever leaving Nevada. A short walk from Fly LINQ, the Eiffel Tower Experience lets you ascend 46 stories for a sweeping view of the Strip. The open-air observation deck is all about romance and wow-worthy vistas—watch the Bellagio fountains dance below or scope out the city’s high-voltage glow at night. Staff are big on sharing trivia and photo tips, and the gentle breeze up top makes for a refreshing midday escape (or a dreamy date night). The vibe is charming, the backdrop is unforgettable, and at sunset, the city’s golden hour magic is real. 

minus5° Ice Bar at Venetian: Chill Out Vegas-Style 

When the desert heat hits, you’ll crave a cool-down. minus5° Ice Bar inside the Venetian is more than a bar—it’s an Arctic adventure in the heart of Vegas. Don a provided parka and gloves, then step inside a frozen wonderland crafted from 100 tons of pure ice: icy seats, crystal-clear ice mugs, and dazzling ice sculptures shaped by global artists. The cocktails here taste even crisper when served in frosty glasses and the upbeat staff are quick with recommendations—like the fan-favorite Snowflake Martini. The space is surprisingly social; it’s great for groups to kick back, snap frosty selfies, and chat with travelers from around the globe. The LED lighting and upbeat playlist crank up the party even when it’s -5°! 

The Mob Museum: Dive Into Vegas’ Shady Past 

Fancy a dive into Vegas’ shadowy side? The Mob Museum in downtown Vegas is a quick rideshare from Fly LINQ—and absolutely worth the trip for true crime buffs and history fans. Housed in an old courthouse, this museum weaves colorful stories of bootleggers, notorious gangsters, undercover agents, and the rise of Sin City itself. Interactive exhibits, vintage artifacts, and immersive audio keep you on your toes. The highlight? An atmospheric basement speakeasy serving era-inspired cocktails—don’t miss the smoky Mob Mule. The museum’s storytelling and authentic details make history pulse with energy, offering a true sense of the city’s rebellious spirit. 

GoCar Tour of Las Vegas Strip: Cruise Like a Local 

Trade walking shoes for wheels with a GoCar Tour of the Strip. These GPS-guided yellow cars are compact, quirky, and a ton of fun for exploring local hotspots at your own pace. The clever narration keeps you laughing as you zip from one famous site to the next—past casinos, world-class restaurants, secret murals, and even the wedding chapels that put Vegas love stories on the map. GoCar rides suit couples and small groups looking for something playful and informative. You control the stops, so if a food truck or souvenir shop calls your name, just pull over and explore. 

The Big Apple Roller Coaster: Roller Coaster Junkies, This Way 

For serious thrill-seekers, the Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York-New York is a must. It’s just a short, lively walk down the Strip—and it towers above the skyline with wild loops, twists, and drops reminiscent of Coney Island’s adrenaline classics. The coaster’s views are almost as wild as the ride itself, with the glowing city zipping past as you scream. Hop into a taxi-themed car, experience a 180-degree “heartline” twist, and get ready to relive your happiest childhood memories with a Vegas twist. The arcade inside New York-New York and a row of classic NYC eats (hello, Krispy Kreme!) keep the energy high even after you’ve disembarked. 

The Official "SAW" Escape Room: Crack the Code for Your Life!

If you prefer puzzles and immersive theatrics to white-knuckle rides, The Official "SAW" Escape Room might be your next obsession. This escape room plunges you right into the tension and mystery of the SAW films—no prior knowledge required, just a taste for riddles and adventure. You and your group will race through themed chambers, hunt for clues, and solve puzzles under the shadowy gaze of “Billy the Puppet.” Expect heart-pounding moments and surprising twists. The set design goes way beyond your average escape room, with movie-quality props and dramatic lighting that enhances the spooky, suspenseful vibe. 

The Neon Museum: Las Vegas’ Glowing History 

To wrap up your list, nothing beats The Neon Museum—a celebration of Vegas style, artistry, and pure nostalgia. Located a quick Lyft from the Strip, this “boneyard” gathers historic neon signs from old casinos, motels, and hotspots dating back to the city’s early days. Visit at sunset for a guided tour as the signs flicker to life, painting the desert dusk with color. The vibe is pure retro glamour, but it’s also moving—a reminder of Vegas legends and dreams that shaped the Strip. Guides are brilliant at telling the stories behind the signs, and the museum’s night tours are especially magical. Snap photos, soak up history, and leave feeling you’ve discovered a hidden facet of classic Vegas. 

 

Ready for even more? The Las Vegas Strip around Fly LINQ is packed with surprises—so lace up your comfiest shoes, bring that phone charger, and let your curiosity lead the way! Whether you’re strolling under the LEDs, hopping between attractions, or just soaking up the wild, the weird, and the wonderful, you’ll find endless options right outside Fly LINQ’s landing zone.

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!
