“Get an early start with breakfast at Bouchon, Thomas Keller’s renowned French Bistro located in the Venezia Tower at the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino.
For those who prefer a more casual morning meal, I recommend The Grand Lux Café, the Venetian’s 24-hour casual dining venue. Following breakfast, see a different side to Las Vegas and take a private tour of the impressive Hoover Dam before heading back to the Strip to spend the rest of the day at The Grand Canal Shoppes. Enjoy a romantic, relaxing dinner in your suite followed by one of the Venetian Resort’s magnificent in-house shows, Phantom, Jersey Boys or Blue Man Group.”

“Start your day watching the sunrise from one of Aria’s beautiful Sky Suites before heading to one of the best spas in Vegas.
The Spa & Salon at Aria has three exclusives suites with a personal Spa Host, private restroom, Jacuzzi and aromatherapy shower. After, enjoy an early lunch at Sage, an American restaurant offering all-natural, fresh, organic cuisine. With your hunger sated, head to the Concierge desk and pick up an Art Tour Guide of CityCenter so you can take in the fabulous shops, architecture and $40 million art collection. In the evening, enjoy a romantic dinner at Blossom, a truly romantic Cantonese offering. A night out in Vegas isn’t complete without taking in a show; Cirque du Soleil’s latest Vegas venture, Viva ELVIS, is a brilliant choice. The show is guaranteed to get you dancing, so you’ll be keen to take the party onto one of Sin City’s many nightspots. Aria’s Haze Nightclub is a celebrity playground and perfect for the elite traveler.”

“Begin your day with a mid-morning champagne brunch at The Country Club at Wynn Las Vegas, where you can look out over the hotel’s spectacular golf course, while enjoying Chef Carlos Guia’s award-winning fare.
Afterwards, escape the hustle and bustle of the Strip by taking a Maverick Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour. Follow up with lunch on Mon Ami Gabi’s terrace at the Paris Resort and Casino before whiling away the afternoon in a poolside cabana. Spend the evening dining at DJT, the Trump’s resident fine dining American restaurant before enjoying Cirque du Soleil’s superb show ‘O’ at the Bellagio Resort and Casino. Finally, a night in Vegas wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of the Strip’s famous nightclubs. We recommend reserving a VIP table at Marquee Nightclub.”

“In summer, before the heat of the day hits, enjoy an early outdoor breakfast at Mandarin Oriental’s Pool Café, serving light breakfast options in a quiet, calm atmosphere.
The mornings are wonderful for touring the natural areas outside of Las Vegas by helicopter, airplane or land tours. The main Las Vegas Strip is within hours of some of most spectacular scenery in the United States, including the Grand Canyon and Death Valley. For lunch, head to Estiatorio Milos at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, where you can enjoy a selection of deliciously light Mediterranean dishes. Afternoons in Las Vegas are perfect for taking advantage of the wonderful spas and pools on offer, before seeing one of Vegas’ many shows. End the night with a cocktail in the Mandarin Bar with its fabulous 260-degree view of the Strip.”
