Lago
If you’re “boo’d up” and want to show your love while vacationing in Las Vegas, here’s your chance to go big or go home. While the city is oftentimes seen as a destination for singles to play, there are plenty of places to spark up the romance for couples and show your sweetheart just how lovey-dovey you can be. We’ve even put together nine date ideas for you, all sure to get you bragging rights as a thoughtful partner and a romantic, smooth operator.
1. Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck (Paris, 888.727.4758)
Celebrate with a little Parisian romance when you and your sweetie ascend 46 stories in the air to the top of the half-scale replica of the real deal. Purchase evening tickets so you can take in the incredible views of the twinkling lights of the Strip. Once high up in the open air, take a moment to cuddle closer and snap some photos.
2. Maverick Helicopters (6075 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 866.644.8687)
The tour company and its fleet of luxury helicopters provide many flight packages, but for the ultimate in romance book the Wind Dancer Sunset Tour. You’ll fly over the Strip to the Grand Canyon where you’ll land on a private area to enjoy champagne and light snacks while surrounded by one of the natural wonders of the world, all as the sun begins to set. Romance totally accomplished.
3. Lago by Julian Serrano (Bellagio, 702.693.8865)
Make a reservation at this restaurant and ask to be seated at a table closest to the railing that overlooks the famed Fountains of Bellagio show. With the night stars, the water dance, the music and the upscale Italian small plates, it’s a romantic evening served up on a silver platter.
Gondola Ride
4. Gondola Ride (The Venetian, 877.691.1977)
Book a private gondola ride so just you and your lover can float down The Grand Canals while being guided by your gondolier. You’ll pass under bridges—and according to tradition, that’s when you steal a kiss—and float by the shops and cafes. Bon voyage!
5. Minus5 Ice Experience (The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, 702.293.3388)
This cool, OK really cold, attraction will give you the perfect excuse to cuddle up with your sweetie for warmth. Step inside the freezing lounge, made completely of ice, and sip on cocktails served in ice glasses while checking out ice art and ice sculptures.
6. Costa di Mare (Wynn, 702.770.3305)
For a divine dinner in a setting that just exudes romance, head to Costa Di Mare and make sure to book at cabana that overlooks the lagoon. You and your sweets will be enveloped in your private nook while noshing on fresh seasonal fish and shellfish flown in daily from Italy.
Costa di Mare
7. Top of the World (The STRAT, 702.380.7711)
This restaurant that sits at the top of the tallest tower west of the Mississippi provides 360-degree views of the valley. Try to reserve a table by the window or book one of the booths and take in the sights of the neon lights through the floor-to-ceiling windows. For more than two decades, the Top of the World has been home to many a proposal and touted as one of the most romantic spots in the entire city.
8. Marché Bacchus (2620 Regatta Dr., 702.804.8008)
Just 10 miles from the Strip and a world away is this lakeside French restaurant perfect for date night. Book a table out on the terrace where you can sip on wine and watch swans swim in Lake Jacqueline. Take a piece of the moment home with you by perusing the adjoining wine and gift shop.
9. Lake Las Vegas (lakelasvegaswatersports.com)
The man-made lake about a 20-minute ride from the Strip will feel like a vacation during your vacation. Purchase some drinks and snacks at the nearby grocery store and then book an electric boat rental for two hours and cruise through the waters while enjoying the sights and some private time with your sweetie.
