Why take your darling on a date when you could go all out with a romantic getaway at one luxe property this V-Day? After all, Aquarius, you’re known for your larger-than-life nature, so it only makes sense that it manifests itself in your amorous plans.
You probably already booked an accommodation for your trip to Vegas, but slip away from your standard hotel room for just a night and book one of Westgate Las Vegas’ fabulous themed suites. To keep the vibes romantic, book the Flower Suite, which is absolutely drenched in luscious pink, purple and orange florals. Or, if you’re ready to take the next step in your relationship, consider booking the I Do Suite & Parlor, an all-in-one room and wedding venue perfect for planning the ideal Vegas-style nuptials.
Once booked, secure reservations at one of the resort’s high-end restaurants. It almost feels like a crime to not suggest enjoying a fine meal at an elegant steakhouse for the romantic holiday, so it’s only natural to recommend the upscale Edge Steakhouse and its selection of premium cuts and delicious sides. Indulge in fresh oysters and roasted bone marrow at the top of your meal, wagyu beef or Alaskan king crab legs for your main, and truffle mac and cheese or sweet potato gnocchi on the side. With so many tempting options, consider one of the chef’s selection prix fixe menus that include mains, sides and desserts and can be ordered with wine pairings.
The cherry on top of this all-night-long rendezvous has to be tickets to a fantastic show. Score seats to Soul of Motown, Westgate’s impressive revue featuring the music of artists like The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. Seriously, this crew packs some vocal powerhouses and the music they perform is perfect for setting the mood.
