Girls Guide to Las Vegas 🎰🥂

If you’re a frequent reader you know I love to visit a place a few times before writing a blog post about it. I have been obsessed with traveling for awhile now and my job has now allowed me to see places I’ve been to again as well as more places and I feel so very blessed for that! This weekend marked my 5th trip to Las Vegas. I went once with my sister the week I turned 21, 2 times for work when I worked in PR, and twice as a girls trip! That said, I’ve stayed at many different hotels including Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Nomad Vegas, Flamingo and Virgin Hotels. This trip we had the pleasure of working with Virgin Hotels! My favorite thing about Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas is that we were off the strip. Rather than being in all the madness we overlooked it from above in our suite across the street. It was ideal to me that we were still in Vegas but almost as if we were in our very own VIP suite, not shoveled within a crowd. Because we were off the strip, we too had a more seem less time with getting reservations last minute. My friend also let me know that the Nobu at Virgin Hotels is a lot more accommodating than the one on the strip.

Where to shoot content:

Fountains at Bellagio: gorgeous setting fountain show is on the hour every hour!

Paris: because it’s Paris. Highly recommend paying the $20 to get to the top! Also a must in the real city in case you’re wondering.

Fabulous Las Vegas Sign: fun touristy spot great for photos. Skip the line and take the photos from an angle like we did!

The Venetian: for Italian vibes and gondola rides!

Red Rock Canyon: Some of the most beautiful desert views! You can also do a 13-mile scenic drive, hiking and trails while you’re there!

Where to Dine:

So many favorites come to mind when I think of my favorite spots to dine in Las Vegas! There is so many great spots that are in NYC and LA in Vegas which is amazing. It seems like if you’re a big deal as a restaurant in these major cities you’ll probably end up opening a spot in Vegas.

Here are my list of my top 5!

1) Spago- located in The Bellagio right across from the iconic fountains. We got so lucky and got a seat directly in front of the show. It was a dream! A must visit and my top favorite in Vegas.

2) Kassi Beach House- located in Virgin Hotels. This Coastal Italian restaurant took us from the Vegas strip straight to Italian seaside, just replace the beach with a poolside view. The food was amazing, I highly recommend the mezze platter!

3) Carbone- Another amazing Italian spot. This one is also a fan fav in nyc. Chic level 10, A-lister Italian restaurant in a retro-glam space.

4) Nobu- Also in LA! Amazing sushi and great vibes located in Virgin Hotels and Caesar’s Palace.

5) Delilah Las Vegas- An LA staple in Vegas. American food and an amazing atmosphere, located in the Wynn Hotel

Overall Vegas is a great spot for a girls trip especially if you’re looking to get some fun content! It is the desert so I would not recommend going in the summer. My favorite time to go personally was in the winter because LA does have some cold days in the winter. Bring your swimsuit and get ready to hydrate, in more ways than just water!!
