Day 1. Downtown Las Vegas

Start your morning with a delightful breakfast of coffee and French pastries at a patisserie near you. Use your pass on the hop-on, hop-off bus to explore some of the top sights in Las Vegas in one comprehensive tour. 

Along the way, visitors are provided an educational narrative of the city’s history, landmarks and culture. The buses run every thirty minutes, so hop on to the next one when it arrives.

At the last stop, switch buses and hop on the Downtown Route and get off at the Mob Museum. Hear stories of a critical period of Las Vegas’ violent past.

Walk over to Fremont Street, a historic five-block entertainment centre, lined with famous hotels, casinos and restaurants. Take the walking tour to learn about the background of this cool part of the city. See the Viva Vision, the world’s largest video screen displaying free laser shows and more.

Fremont Street is also a great culinary destination, so if you’re looking to have a meal, do so at Fremont East, as there are lots of options for any appetite.

The nightclubs in Las Vegas are legendary, so go for shots and dancing at the Drai’s Nightclub perched on the roof of The Cromwell Las Vegas for a drink and unparalleled views of the Strip at night.

Day Two-The Strip

Since you have to be on the go early, stop for a sweet or a savory grab-and-go brioche at an outlet in Paris Las Vegas.

Head up the iconic Stratosphere Observation Deck, the tallest free-standing structure in the US, for 360-degree views of the Strip and the Valley and beyond.

Next interact with some celebrities at Madame Tussauds, for an entertaining experience with your favourite stars like Lady Ga Ga and Nick Fury. Use the props, for some unforgettable photo opportunities.

The High Roller observation wheel at 550’ is America’s highest. Enjoy a 30-minute exhilarating ride in the afternoon for a stunning 360 view of iconic Las Vegas sites and beyond. Note: sit on the right side of the cabin for the best views.

After you are done with the High Roller spin, walk over to the LINQ shopping and entertainment district, a great place for souvenirs and lunch.

Continue your sightseeing along the Strip to visit another unmissable landmark, a water and music combine called the Fountains of Bellagio. For the full experience, visit at night when the fountains are beautifully lit, perfect for a pre-dinner appetizer.

To experience the nightlife of Las Vegas at its best visit Marquee Nightclub inside the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. This is the top nightclub of the city, featuring seven bars and can hold 5,000 people. Later, enjoy a late-night bite at Evel Pie, an eatery which serves pizzas until 4am on weekends.

When you leave, take a piece of Las Vegas back with a no-problem mindset. Enjoy yourself by looking for new and unexpected activities.

If you prefer to leave the planning to someone else, book a package deal where everything is taken care of and you just have to sit back and enjoy the experience.
