Where to travel next? Vegas, baby !
Las Vegas is my most visited city in United States. First, it’s really close to Los Angeles, CA, second, if you drive from LA to Las Vegas, it will probably take 3.5 – 4 hours. And if you fly no more than an hour.
If you are looking for a nice weekend, Vegas is a great option.
We love going to Vegas once a month or two to just forget the everyday stuff, or just have fun.
People traveling here with families usually don’t spend much time in casinos, as it’s prohibited for kids/21- to watch people gamble or gamble themselves.
If you are planning to travel to Vegas, I will share some interesting places and activities to do during your trip.
Where to stay on the Las Vegas Strip?
Bellagio is one of the best choices in Las Vegas.
This hotel & casino is famous for its elegance and is inspired by Lake Como town of Bellagio in Italy. It’s also famous for its fountains.

Where to dine in Las Vegas?
You don’t have time to explore which restaurants are worth your gambling winnings since you’re too busy booking hotel room blocks and scheduling flights. That’s why I am here.
- Hell’s Kitchen: Caesars Palace
The renowned chef Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen is a restaurant that almost all Las Vegas travelers look forward to visiting. It’s a wonderful pick for lunch or dinner, and the opportunity to order from a gourmet menu can help budget-conscious guests plan correctly. It’s located right inside Caesars Palace.
2. Mon Ami Gaby: Paris Las Vegas
This French café inside the Paris Hotel offers one of the best views of the Bellagio fountains on the Strip, so a table outdoors is recommended.
3. Sinatra: Wynn Las Vegas
A lunch at Sinatra is a great way to start an evening, or to have a night out all by itself.
4. Hash House A Go Go: The LINQ
It’s among the best values on the Las Vegas Strip, and there’s plenty of meals. You’ll get more than a lb of food in a hot cast-iron pan if you get one of the restaurant’s legendary hashes.
5. Senor Frog’s: Las Vegas Strip
The meal and service were excellent, although it was a little on the costly side. We had a great time from the minute we entered there until we left. It’s a great spot for cocktails and tasty cuisine.
6. Javier’s: Aria Las Vegas
Javier’s offers a unique blend of Southern California to Las Vegas, and it’s right in the heart of the casino. Javier’s serves hand-shaken margaritas and a vast culture of good Mexican cuisine.
The beauty of Las Vegas, as well as its burden, is that it can be anything you need it to be.
Vegas may be a great place for a weekend trip or the wildest bachelor party ever. It’s completely up to you what you want to get.
When you’re traveling to Las Vegas for the very first time, you’ll note that the streets on the Vegas Strip are LONG, despite the fact that the casinos seem to be close together.
Many people are astonished by how much walking is needed while traveling on feet.
