3 Fun Facts About Las Vegas 🎉

Pricey Pints but Priceless Views 🍻: A pint might set you back around $10, but sipping a cold one while watching the fountains at the Bellagio or overlooking The Strip? Priceless. Also who knows you could make it back at the casinos?
Fremont Street – The OG Vegas 🌆: Before The Strip, there was Fremont Street. Today, it’s a retro playground with live music, an LED ceiling show, and the zip line of your adrenaline dreams.
“Beach” Options in the Desert 🏖️: Vegas doesn’t have natural beaches, but that didn’t stop them from making their own! From Mandalay Bay’s sandy stretch to VooDoo Beach, they’ve got the “sun and sand” vibes covered.

📣 Vegas Lingo Cheat Sheet 📣

Master these terms and you’ll sound like a Vegas insider in no time:

The Strip – the iconic stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard filled with hotels, casinos, and attractions.
The Pit – the central area in a casino where table games like blackjack and poker happen.
Comped – when you get something “on the house.” Play the tables long enough, and you might get comped a drink or even a room.
High Roller – a big spender who goes all-in on bets (or you, after a few cocktails!).

What are the best sights to see on your Las Vegas holidays?

Las Vegas holidays are packed with iconic things to see and do, with a good mix of long-standing attractions as well as landmarks that are as shiny and new as a penny slot. Here's a cheeky look at what you won't want to miss on your perfect city break:

The Strip - we know it's an obvious one, but HELLO, this mahoosive, sparkly strip is an absolute must, lined with swanky hotels and clubs, and lit up like a Christmas tree all year round - so you can't miss it
Bellagio Fountains - found right outside the Bellagio Hotel (who'd have guessed?), these famous fountains dance to the tunes of Sinatra and light up in one big colourful display - it's totally free to stop by and watch, and totally iconic!
High Roller Observation Wheel - hit new heights on this whopper of a ferris wheel (550-feet tall, to be precise), serving up 360-degree views over the city
Fremont Street - a taste of vintage Vegas, with an overhead LED-lit canopy, live bands and an atmosphere that's always buzzing and chaotic (in the best way), no matter when you visit
The Sphere - a futuristic sphere-shaped venue where you can catch everything from sports games to movie screenings and gigs on a huge, panoramic screen
Red Rock Canyon - a peaceful escape from all the party mayhem, with huge landscapes of beaut scenery for when you need a literal breath of fresh air

Good to know: Vegas is always sizzlin', but when the air con's blasting inside it can be a bit on the chilly side - we recommend keeping a jumper or light jacket handy, even if it's super scorchio outside.

FAQs

The official currency of Las Vegas is the US Dollar.

The official language spoken in Las Vegas is English, which means you don't have to panic-download Duolingo at the last minute.

It takes around 11 hours to fly to Las Vegas from the UK/Ireland, but that's basically just a really good night's kip so you can wake up fresh and ready to take on the Strip...

The local time in Las Vegas is eight hours behind the UK/Ireland, so don't forget to update your watch and electronics, or you're gonna be in for a very confusing trip.

Technically yes, but don't be fooled by the "Vegas Mile" – the hotels are mahoosive and further apart than they look. Walking from one casino to the next can take 20 minutes, so in the summer heat, you’re better off using the Monorail or grabbing a cab to save your energy for the dancefloor.

In a word: yes. Tipping is a huge part of US culture, so have some dollar bills handy for everyone from your bellboy to the person pouring your drinks. A standard tip for meals is around 18-20%, so keep that in mind when you're budgeting for your jollies.

Hit the Strip

We'll state the obvious one first, because did you really go to Vegas if you didn't go to the Strip? This place is lined with glitzy casinos, bright lights, late-night bars and even a rollercoaster ride. Although, maybe do that one before the night out starts...

Rise above it all with a helicoptor ride

There are heaps of helicopter tours in Vegas, but if you really want something to remember (or not, depending how many drinks you had beforehand), then take a night flight over the Strip to see the lights and colours from up above.

Snap some pics at the Museum of Selfies

Yep, it's a real thing and it's flippin' great. You'll find this museum along the LINQ Promenade, and if you feel like you haven't got many snaps of your holiday, this is the place to stock up. With weird and wonderful props like gold-filled bathtubs (it's giving Taylor Swift Look What You Made Me Do vibes - if you know, you know), upside-down rooms, optical illusions and sets that'll have you flying your own jet, this museum's all about anything but your standard photo op.

Lighten up at the Neon Museum

Another great spot if you're on the hunt for some quirky new Instagram pics, this museum tells the story of Vegas' past casinos through a series of neon signs. Keep your eyes peeled for some wacky ones, and if you really want to level-up your visit, book onto one of the Jackpot shows which transports you back in time to the city's neon history through sights and sounds. 10/10 immersive vibes.

Catch the Bellagio Fountains in action

Even if you're not staying at Bellagio Hotel, you can stop by to catch the fountain show at night, free of charge. You won't be able to miss it because the fountains are mahoosive, and they come alive with lights and music for their trademark show every night. There's even a playlist on Spotify if you want to snoop at what kind of tunes to expect!

Fly high on the High Roller

The High Roller is an iconic ferris wheel located along the Las Vegas Strip, and it's one of the most popular ways to see the city from above. This bad boy towers over 500 feet tall which means mega views are guarantee. You'll sit all comfy in a roomy pod and can even opt for waiter service, which means free-flowing champagne as you go around. A must, if you need to calm those nerves...

What events can I go to in Las Vegas?
This city NEVER stops partying, so even last-minute holidays to Las Vegas are bound to have something good up their sleeve. Here are a few events to add to your diary:
- Viva Las Vegas (April) - the ultimate festival with live bands, tattoo rooms, pool parties and burlesque events
- Las Vegas Beer Festival (April) - there are actually two events for this one - the Great Vegas Festival for all the food, beers, spirits and all 'round good vibes, and then the Downtown Brew Festival which is the smaller sister event, but both will guarantee you a good time with some of the best craft beers the city has to offer
- Great American Foodie Fest (April) - this 3-day festival celebrates the best food from across the USA, located in Galleria at Sunset and serving up delish food and cocktails as well as carnival rides (a risky combo)
- Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas (May) - this is a 3-day, non-stop party, celebrating electronic dance music with late-night concerts and small stage performances for a more chilled vibe
- Exodus Festival (May) - this one's been going since 2010 and features some of the most popular electronic dance music, bringing DJs from across the globe together for one massive party along the Strip
- World Series of Poker (or WSOP) (June-July) - brush up on your poker skills while the world's best players compete at Rio in the king of poker tournaments
- Life is Beautiful Las Vegas (September) - this 3-day celebration has been running since 2013, with music concerts, comedy acts and a festival vibe.
- Las Vegas Bike Week (September/general autumn) - also known as 'Bikefest', this is one for all the motorbike enthusiasts, where people from around the world gather to show offer their choppers (not a euphemism). It all kicks off at Hogs & Heifers Saloon, and you'll be able to enjoy live bands and bikini contests too
- Las Vegas PRIDE (October) - attracting over 10,000 guests every year, this iconic LGBTQ+ festival pops off at Craig Ranch Regional Park with a weekend of live music, delish food, exhibitions and even an ultra-glam night parade
- Rise Lantern Festival (October) - this is like the ending scene of Tangled but in real life - where glowing lanterns are released into the night sky along the Las Vegas Boulevard
Where is the best nightlife in Las Vegas?
This one's a tough call, and all-inclusive holidays to Las Vegas will have you covered with casinos, bars and endless slot machines all under one roof. However, if you really fancy a good night on the town, there are still plenty of options - from swish cocktail lounges to electrifying nightclubs. Give these hotspots a try:
- The Golden Tiki - you'll find this just west of the Strip, and although it's a bit further out, it's well worth it for the tropical, thatched-roof vibes with cheeky paintings and a cocktail menu serving everything from Mai Tais to Singapore Slings
- XS - think: lavish club with VIP cabanas, loads of room for dancing and some proper iconic DJ sets - including performers like Kygo and The Chainsmokers
- Hakkasan Nightclub - a premium club located in MGM Grand Las Vegas, with five floors of neon fun, all with a different energy to bring to the dancefloor
- The Laundry Room - did you just step back in time and stumble across an old speakeasy? Not quite, but that's how it'll feel at this place, with a grungy design, vintage décor and 27 signature drinks on offer - including hand-crafted cocktails. Be warned though, this place fills up FAST, so you'll need to reserve a spot.
- Skybar - a sleek lounge with floor-to-ceiling views overlooking the vibrant Vegas skyline and a delish cocktail menu
- Drai's Beachclub & Nightclub - open for vibey pool parties by day and dimly-lit dancing by night, this venue is no stranger to live music from big-name artists
- The Chandelier - located in The Cosmopolitan, this is literally a bar inside a chandelier, with cool pink lighting, glam decorations and tasty cocktails
- OMNIA Nightclub - you'll find this three-storey club in Caesars Palace hotel, with a huge neon-lit chandelier over the dancefloor, epic DJ sets and bottle service
- Frankie's Tiki Room - if you're looking for a more low-key venue, this cosy and kitsch tiki bar brings the bamboo vibes with creative rum-based cocktails served in funky mugs
- On The Record - a music-themed speakeasy club located at Park MGM, with a retro vinyl theme, hidden karaoke rooms, VIP seats and a double-decker bus DJ booth
What’s the food like in Las Vegas?
Vegas is all about that classic American grub. Portions are BIG, but the food coma you're in after is gonna be well worth every bite. If you're looking for a taste of the good stuff, have a chomp on one of these:
- Trash can nachos - bear with us, because these loaded bad boys are anything but rubbish. The name just comes from how they're shaken and served - in a small metal bucket so that every corn chip gets coated in the cheesy, tomatoey, jalapenoey goodness.
- Dirty corn - again, we know the name's not really selling this one, but bear with us. It's just a corn on the cob grilled, drenched in butter, lime mayo, melted cheese, corriander, and - the star of the show - crushed Hot Cheetos. We know. Major drool.
- Chicken 'n' watermelon 'n' waffles - you've probably heard of the good ol' chicken/waffle combo (and if you haven't then don't run but walk to go try it!), but this dish adds a bit of a twist by adding chilled, spiced watermelon to the mix, and everything's drizzled with a honey hot sauce. We don't know what's going on here, but we're on board.
- Banana cream pie - a signature dessert in the US, this creamy plate of heaven is the perfect way to round off a meal. What could be better than bananas, custard, cream, caramel sauce and chocolate shavings? We won't wait.
- Prime rib - this hefty beef cut is an absolute crowd-pleaser in Nevada, usually dished up with veggies, spuds and thick gravy on the side for those roast dinner vibes
- Shrimp cocktail - or prawn cocktail to me and you, but it's a bit different to the one we're used to back home, this time consisting of fresh shrimp served around the rim of a cocktail glass with a spicy dipping sauce and a lemon wedge
Got a craving for some top-tier grub in Las Vegas? We’ve lined up some proper good spots where you can munch on the best local eats. Take these for a spin:
- Herbs and Rye - a classic Italian-American venue with unique, handcrafted cocktails and a moody, dimly-lit atmosphere. Book in advance for half-price steaks during happy hour!
- Spago by Wolfhang Puck - a swish restaurant serving a modern menu of burgers, Alaskan crab legs and more, all in a pretty patio setting with the Bellagio Fountains right outside the window
- Pizza Rock - a laidback pizza parlour specialising in happy hour food and drinks - think gourmet pizzas, craft cocktails, plus games and DJ nights after dark. We gave this one a try and can confirm the pizza is 10/10 - there are about a million topping combos to pick from
- Primal Steakhouse - a classic steakhouse with a dark, sexy vibe - expect premium beef cuts, creative cocktails and delish craft beer
- Eggscellent - a go-to spot for breakfast and brunch - think eggs in every form (obviously), along with crispy hash browns and freshly-squeezed juice to start the day
- Lobster ME - the best place in Vegas to get your hands (and mouth) on a classic lobster roll
- Sid's Café - portions pack a punch here, from whopping burgers to loaded avo toast and quesadillas. The staff are as friendly as they come, too - keep an eye out for Singing Paul!

Places to visit

The Sphere
Say hello to The Sphere - Las Vegas' snazzy new entertainment venue right along the Strip. It's huge, it's futuristic and it's cool as heck. With a globe-like structure, it uses state-of-the-art tech and a huge LED display screen that wraps around the audience for maximum immersive vibes. Paired with top-notch acoustics, this 360-degree sensory venue takes your basic dinner and a show vibes to a whole new level. Whether you're catching a movie screening, a concert or a mind-blowing light show, this is THE venue for an experience that'll leave you spellbound.
AREA15
AREA15 is everything and then some. It's zip-lining, axe-throwing, virtual reality shows. It's drinking cocktails under a bamboo volcano. It's hosting your own private shindig in a completely customisable space. It's a playground for adults (and kids). It's bright colours and 3D wall art. The most iconic attraction in the whole place, though, has got to be the Mega Mart designed by Meow Wolf. From the outside, it looks like your bog-standard supermarket, but take one step inside and you'll soon realise that everything is definitely not as it seems. Crisp packets are actually pillows. Fruits and vegetables have faces. Fridge doors lead to hidden passageways with slides and secret bars. You could spend hours in this place alone, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you fancy letting your inner child out to play, this is the place to do it.
Red Rock Canyon
Even Mother Nature decided to throw her own party down in Vegas, and it's called the Red Rock Canyon. And yes - we know - it's not the most famous of the Canyons 'round these parts, but we're here to tell you why it's worth the trip. First of all, as soon as you reach higher ground, the temperature drops at least a few degrees - which normally we wouldn't be singing and shouting about - but in the Vegas heat, trust us, this is reason alone to add this place to your itinerary. But, if that's not enough to do it for you, the fiery-red, rocky landscapes might be. You'll feel a million miles away from downtown here, and if you've been drinking as much water as you have tequila, you might even feel up for a hike. But if you've been up all night throwing money away at the blackjack table, you'll probably just want to take it by car. You've been through enough.

We recommend checking with your healthcare provider for all of the up-to-date vaccination info before booking your holiday.

Under the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), most British citizens don't require a visa for holiday, transit or business purposes in Las Vegas, providing your passport is machine-readable (with a barcode on the photo page), you don't plan on staying for longer than 90 days, and you have a valid return or onward ticket. Holders of other UK passports might require a visa. See the USA entry requirements for more info.

Most hotels in Las Vegas charge a mandatory resort fee which must be paid by the guest. These fees vary from hotel to hotel.
