Are you one of those people who need to plan out every minute? Yeah, me either. But if I plan, my day does run smoother and I get dinner on time; try it with me in this installment of Las Vegas Magazine’s Day Planner series, where we’ll explore the action-packed intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. This is a dynamic area, with plenty of attractions, restaurants and shows. Just be sure to make some reservations and bring your mask.

8 a.m. Breakfast is an iffy subject for Vegas visitors, as some put it off until lunch, especially if they are recovering from the party at Hakkasan the night before. I suggest running to the coffee stand for a quick cup in the morning, and although there are plenty of Starbucks and such, a great option is at Eataly at Park MGM. The deep, strong coffee at Caffè Lavazza there can be accompanied by panini, pastries and more.

9 a.m. Take a shower, why don’t ya? You have a lot to do.

10 a.m. Hoof it to the new FlyOver Las Vegas, on the site of a former movie theater just to the north of MGM Grand. Here, a massive screen stretches across your field of vision as you are raised in your seats. The seats move up, down and even roll as you watch a film where you seem to be flying through some of the most iconic vistas in the western United States. Go to flyoverlasvegas.com to order tickets.

11 a.m. Hungry yet? Today you’re headed to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at MGM Grand, where you’ll order the blue cheese truffled potato chips as an app. Pizza and pasta here won’t weigh you down too much, and you can enjoy people-watching, as the restaurant looks over the casino floor.

1-3 p.m. Pull out that wad of twenties and get busy at the slots. At Tropicana Las Vegas, you’ll find lower ceilings and a real old-school vibe, while Excalibur means soaring ceilings and a practically medieval feel. You’ll find a mix of games, from Vegas favorites to the hottest new ones out.

3-5 Drink up on the Stripside patios at Tom’s Urban or Nine Fine Irishmen. Prices don’t really drop like they would at a true happy hour, but the drinks are delightful. And on weekends Nine Fine features a band outside. At The Park next door, Beerhaus is a nice little bar with a decent beer list (and some local faves, too).

5-6:30 p.m. Head back to the room to take a little snooze and get cleaned up for your dinner (or your show, if you indulged for happy hour).

7 p.m. Did you score reservations at Nomad Library at Park MGM? The signature chicken here is raved about, and for good reason, but the fabulous décor might overwhelm the food. It’s spectacular. You’ll need to hustle to make your 9:30 p.m. show at Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand—these dancers are simply incredible. However, if you ate during happy hour, you’ll be headed to Legends in Concert at Tropicana Las Vegas, where you’ll see tribute acts that channel iconic musicians and leave you plenty of time to hit the slots again. Because you won earlier, didn’t you?
