Las Vegas would be my specialist subject!
We’ve just done 4 nights at the Bellagio and are currently flying to a US beach destination for 4 nights. Then we’ll return to Vegas for another couple of nights.
As a rule of thumb, if not eating in a fast food place, you’ll need around $30 for breakfast and $100 for lunch.
if your eating somewhere high end you’d need to double that. Drinks are around $10 for a pint and $20 for a cocktail.
if you’re having breakfast, you won’t need lunch because the portions are massive.
Best value places to eat can be found on the Link promenade or in the area between NYNY and Park MGM. Though you should also try the Peppermill at the other end of the strip. It’s an iconic Vegas diner. Prices are reasonable and the portions are huge
Yesterday we had brunch at Cheri rooftop spot in Paris hotel. It was lovely. If you’re going on a girls trip it’s a great spot. Book in advance and ask for a table with a fountain view.
NYNY is bouncing at night and I love the Party atmosphere in there in the evenings. If you want something on the other end of the spectrum, try Wynn. That’s where we’re stopping next it’s our favourite. The restaurants are very pricey there though, so we don’t eat there very often. There’s a cocktail bar called Aft which overlooks the Lake of Dreams. During the evening it shows these amazing animations and puppet shows - it’s hard to describe but amazing to watch.
Youll also find cheap places to eat downtown - but I wouldn’t plan to stay there long as it can get a bit hairy. Try Whisky Liquor up bar. There’s a great revolving bar where you can sit and watch the craziness of downtown. Victory burger at Circa downtown is also really good but you only need one side of fries or onion rings between 2
Ubers are a good shout - most places have signposted pick up areas (they call it rideshare) But don’t book until you get there as the Ubers arrive really quickly.
The only time it’s best to get a taxi is from the airport as they are a fixed rate whilst Ubers can vary.
Take comfy shoes as you can easily walk 20 000 steps a day (everything is much further away than it looks)
The best show I’ve seen is Absinth - it hilarious but very, very rude. So not for anyone easily offended.
Sorry for the long post, I could talk about Vegas all day 😃😎
