To start you off, here are 5 of the most festive times of year to visit Las Vegas.
New Year’s Eve.
There’s no better place to ring in the new year than in Las Vegas! The Strip shuts down to traffic at 6pm on December 31st so that partygoers can celebrate in style.
Grab a cocktail and watch the world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks show at the base of the High Roller observation wheel. Then, dance the night away at one of the many nightclubs or casinos.
Just be sure to book your hotel room well in advance – rates skyrocket during this popular time!
Valentine’s Day.
Spend Valentine’s Day in Vegas and you’re guaranteed to have a romantic time. Many hotels offer special packages for couples, complete with champagne and chocolates.
The Strip gets decked out in red and pink hearts, while casinos offer special promotions and discounts for couples. Menus are filled with heart-shaped desserts and wine pairings.
Take a gondola ride at The Venetian, see a show, or treat yourself to a couples’ massage at one of the many spas.
And of course, no Valentine’s Day would be complete without a nice dinner. Book a table at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon for an unforgettable dining experience.
Halloween.
Halloween is one of the liveliest times of year in Las Vegas! Costumed partygoers pack the clubs and casinos, making it one of the best times to people watch.
If you’re looking for something a little more low-key, take a stroll down Fremont Street and enjoy the Halloween light show set to spooky music. Or, for thrills and chills of a different sort, visit one of the city’s many haunted houses.
Independence Day.
Looking for a place to watch Fourth of July fireworks? You can’t go wrong with Vegas! Nearly every casino on The Strip puts on its own firework display, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. Head up to the Stratosphere Tower Observation Deck for an unbeatable view of all the pyrotechnics.
Or, if you’d rather not deal with crowds, check out one of the city’s many rooftop bars – you’ll still be able to see the fireworks while enjoying some great cocktails!
Christmas/Hanukkah.
Vegas goes all out for Christmas and Hanukkah! Most hotels deck their lobbies and common areas with festive decorations, and many also host special events like holiday parties or gingerbread house-making workshops.
Ice skating rinks pop up throughout The Strip, offering family-friendly fun. It can be very busy and booking in advance is recomended.
If you’re looking for holiday shopping options, you’ll find plenty of them at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian or Fashion Show mall. There is a really good selection of International brands plus the setting is very festive. Live performers abound.
