See the Grand Canyon in style
On touchdown, we had some time to take photos and then we were treated to a champagne picnic. This trip with Sundance Helicopters was a perfect and luxurious way to see the Grand Canyon especially when short on time.
Eat at a 'top restaurant'
Las Vegas is known for its fabulous top-class restaurants and Joel Robuchon is one of the top restaurants in the world. This three-Michelin star restaurant in the MGM Grand Hotel has unforgettable food in a luxurious Art Deco townhouse complete with a lush garden terrace and marble floors. The food is beautifully presented and simply astounding.
For a meal with a view check out the Top Of The World restaurant 800 feet above the Las Vegas strip. Within The Stratosphere Hotel, the restaurant slowly revolves and has a jaw-dropping view whilst the food is pricey but fabulous quality - check out the amazing filet mignon steak with a red wine reduction that just melts in the mouth or the sublime lobster thermidor with crab. Perfection on a plate!
Take a gondola ride
Take a romantic gondola ride through the Venetian hotel to transport you back to Italy and the Venice canals. Be serenaded by the gondolier in his best operatic voice and don't forget the Italian tradition of kissing under each bridge for good luck. It's a surreal experience as the skyline is artificial but looks like a blue sky with real clouds.
If you want to pop the question to your other half, the gondoliers are experts at making moments special so be sure to let them know before you get on.
Drive a supercar into the desert
For the ultimate rush why not drive a supercar through the desert? Choose a luxury car such as a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche, go through the safety briefing and then put your foot down for some laps on the track. When you are confident let them know and you could drive your fast car through the desert and then floor it - safely of course!
Mr W enjoyed this ultimate bucket list wish, which is certainly one unforgettable experience for you speed freaks out there.
Max out your credit card at the luxury shops
Las Vegas is known for its luxury shopping, so to be sure to bring your credit card when you visit with plenty of credit! The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace has Gucci, Christian Louboutin and Cartier whilst the shops at Via Bellagio have Prada, Chanel and Tiffany and Co. With over 50 luxury brands, the Shops At Crystals is a luxury shoppers delight, so splash your cash at Bvlgari, Hermes Tag Heuer or Harry Winston for a shopping high.

ReplyDeleteNow that sounds scary!
DeleteVegas looks amazing, and that restaurant - WOW! I've always wanted to go, obviously without the kids and just with the hubby
ReplyDeleteI live so close to Vegas that have cheap flights etc, and I have yet to visit. I've been invited through my magazine and still I haven't taken up the offer. I think I'll go next year in the winter when it's cooler.
ReplyDeleteYou should go if you have been invited and it's close. It's a a 10 or 11 hour flight from the UK.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, hope it inspired you.
DeleteMy husband did Vegas for his 40th and did the helicopter over the Grand Canyon - I have not forgiven him yet ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You have to get him to take you next time.
DeleteLas Vegas has been on my places to visit ever since i was younger. The lights, sounds and atmosphere is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow, I have never been to Las Vegas but it looks beautiful and is definitely somewhere I will be adding to my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI had to read this to compare it with our own experience. Totally agree with the helicopter over the Grand Canyon - ditto with the Hoover Dam. Love your other suggestions. My husband and eldest son would love the supercar experience, sadly our son didn't have his licence when we went. Maybe next time. It is an unforgettable city. #CityTripping
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly Jo! We found it is a city that's brash on the exterior but underneath it has very classy spots.
DeleteNot been to Las Vegas yet. Everything looks so insanely grand :) Wanna go for the experience!
