Along with those resolutions for the new year, may we suggest adding one more thing when it comes to Vegas—a bucket list? And there’s no better time to get to one than when you’ve got 12 months to accomplish it. Some of these are of the moment; others we suggest for your return trip.
Vegas is starting the year off right musically with the return of Blake Shelton’s Live in Las Vegas residency. His last round of shows at Caesars Palace was one of the hottest tickets of 2025, and with the subsequent release of his latest album, For Recreational Use Only, Shelton will only add to the number of showstopping songs he’ll bring to the Colosseum stage. Don’t miss out.
You’ll hear the term “immersive experience” used a lot in Las Vegas these days, but by far the most overwhelming of them all is Infinity Museum at Boulevard Mall. This one-of-a-kind attraction will take you a trip through space, make you feel like you’re inside a snow globe and place you in a mirror maze you’ll need a pool noodle to make it through. Grab the family—and the cameras.
One of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of 2025 was Apple TV’s Pluribus, especially its Las Vegas-set episode at Westgate Las Vegas. Many fans were wondering if it was real or a set. Great news: Not only was it real, but the Verona and Imperial Sky Villas are available for you to check into! It’s going to be pricey, but this is a bucket list!

Speaking of pricey but a must-visit, dining experiences don’t get much more unforgettable than Le Cirque at Bellagio. This much-lauded and awarded restaurant combines the magnificent cuisine of executive chef Jonathan Doukhan with a playful atmosphere in an intimate space, a great view of the fountains, and a real sense of fun and whimsy from your servers.
Have you always wanted to know what it feels like to be a bartender? Wonder no more with the Mixology Masterclass at The Cabinet of Curiosities at Horseshoe Las Vegas. Experts in their field will take you through the whole process and help you craft classic like Manhattans. Best of all, you’ll create your very own signature cocktail (and name it!).
AREA15 has established itself in a very short time as one of the premier Las Vegas destinations with its all-in-one concept. Its Experience Pass offering gives you limited access, depending on which of the four tiers you select. But for that bucket list, spring for Pass Level 4, which gives you access to all 22 experiences, rides and attractions, as well as AREA15’s crown jewel, Omega Mart. Life is short—see it all!
You’ve got no shortage of shopping options in Las Vegas, but one destination you have to see now is definitely BLVD Las Vegas, one of the Strip’s newest retail arrivals containing three stories of great stores like Puma, Adidas and Lululemon and eateries like viral sensation How You Dough’n, a pizzeria famous for its dough preparation.
