Before you go!
Flights Plan ahead of time! I used Hopper to stay up to date with good prices and potential price jumps. The slow time of year is Nov-Feb and the season picks back up for that Spring and Summer season. The hotel's prices will always be cheaper throughout the week from Fri-Sun the prices jump and possibly even double! For hotels at an amazing rate, I trust Vegas.com. They have all the information on hotels on and off the strip. Booking is easy and effortless.
Packing Winter- A warm jacket so you're able to layer up! Jeans or long and warm comfortable pants. Long sleeve tops. Sweaters just in case the temperature really drops. An elegant outfit that will still keep you cozy. Summer- Shorts, T-Shirts, tank tops, and bathing suits! Fancy outfit for special occasions like a sparkly dress/polo and slacks. Year-Round- Comfortable walking shoes are a MUST! A bookbag or fanny pack to keep all your essentials while exploring! Portable charger because honestly, you're going to be out and about all day!
A valid ID if it's expired you can get rejected entry on dispensaries. Cash!!!! The fee for an ATM can be horrible and if you don't have a car rental driving to your bank is out of the question. A hat and glasses for protection from the sun.
Fremont Street
On Fremont Street is where you will find tons of bars, food, and more. Enjoy the view this where you'll see tons of neon signs! Grab your friends and head on over where you can get on a zipline and zoom across the entire strip!
Prices vary for the time of year but range from $20-25 for the Zipline. Souvenirs can also be found at multiple shops all up and down the street. The party definitely begins here!
High Roller
The High Roller is the giant Ferris wheel right off the strip. The street it is located on is full of restaurants, shops, and even the Fly coaster so you can fly across the entire street in the air! Prices for the Fly coaster can range from $25-35 depending on where you get your ticket. Walk on over its right behind the Flamingo Hotel!
My favorite bite to each was Chef Ramsey's Fish & Chips. The flakey fish is amazing, they also have options for special chips! It is a great stop for lunch and super filling. The High Roller itself is a great place to get an extraordinary view of the city! It's like your own bubble in the air, great for pictures with a sky view. Amazing prices can be found at Vegas.com
Mob Museum
The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement is a great place for those Good Fellas fans. Start off with 100 years of Made Men and go all the way up the 3 floors of Mafioso History.
The Mob contributed to Las Vegas to developing and being putting it on the map, you can learn all about how! Also, don't miss the basement that features an Underground SpeakEasy. Prices for the speakeasy are not included in your Museum Entry. For all the details and pricing head HERE.
The Strat
This a casino, hotel and has a restaurant with a rotating view of the strip! Go online to book your dinner reservations at Top of the world and get the best view of the city. There is a dress code so bring your most elegant dress to impress! (Shorts, tank tops, sports apparel, athletic or flip-flop shoes are not permitted.)
This restaurant is unlike no other, with a dining room that revolves every 80 minutes so you get a 360 view! For Reservations head on over to The Strat.

7 Magic Mountains
This is about a 20-30 min drive from the strip! The artwork is 7 beautifully colored rocks, all stacked with multiple rocks on top of each other.
This a great place for pictures for the whole family or all your friends! Your best bet is to rent a car if possible or simply catch an Uber to get you there! It gives you the full desert vibe experience. The address is S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054
