Best Time to Visit Las Vegas
Let’s face it, there is always something going on in Las Vegas. That makes any time a great time to visit Las Vegas.
If I had to be honest with you though, I would say that the best time to visit Las Vegas is during the spring and fall seasons. During this time, you will find cooler temperatures and fewer tourists.
And you know that fewer tourists mean lower prices. In my opinion that is a win-win.
The spring months (March-May) are a great time to visit Las Vegas. This time brings an average daily temperature in the 70s and 80s, making for a comfortable day to explore the city, take one of these hikes from Las Vegas, or maybe consider doing one of these fabulous day trips from Las Vegas.
Take note that the evening temperatures can be a little cooler, so you might want to bring a light jacket or sweater with you.
The spring months also boast some great events such as Viva Las Vegas in April and the Billboard Music Awards in May.
Of course, these large events mean more people coming to the city, so be sure to check out the convention schedule on the Las Vegas tourist board website if you want to work around these and get the best deals on hotels.
Visiting Las Vegas during the fall months (September-November) allows you to enjoy the “shoulder season” as well. This time of years sees temperatures a little warmer, ranging in the 80s and 90s.
The fall season also brings fewer tourists so you can still get a great deal. Events during this time include the iHeart Radio Music Festival and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon.
Where to Stay in Las Vegas
Deciding where to stay in Las Vegas can be difficult. There are so many hotels in Vegas for couples that you can get overwhelmed quickly!
Take an inventory of what is important to you and then find a hotel that checks the most boxes on your list. For instance, do you want a certain location, certain amenities, or a particular price range?
One of our favorite hotels in Las Vegas is the Bellagio. Located right on the Vegas strip, the Bellagio has fabulous rooms, world-class dining and shopping, and incredible service.
Of course, being front and center for one of the cheap things to do in Las Vegas, watch the Bellagio fountain show, doesn’t hurt either.
Another hotel to consider is the Venetian Hotel and Casino. The Venetian made us feel as if we had been transported back to our beloved Italy.
They have great rooms with awesome amenities. You can also do some romantic activities here such as riding in a gondola or eating a romantic dinner by the canals.
Of course, there are also lots of great Airbnbs in Las Vegas also! Never tried Airbnb? Well then, we have a treat for you! Click here and use our link to save up to $55 off of your first booking!
Things to do in Las Vegas for Couples
1. Helicopter Tour Over the Las Vegas Strip

You know that the Las Vegas lights look great from the ground, so imagine how fabulous they must look from above. You and your honey will love being greeted with a glass of champagne before being swept away in a helicopter to tour the Las Vegas strip from above!
Of course, you want to do your helicopter tour at night to ensure that you get the best view of the lights!
As one of the most romantic couple’s activities Las Vegas has to offer, a helicopter tour over the Las Vegas strip is one of the many reasons that the city made it on our couples bucket list.
2. Helicopter Tour Over the Grand Canyon

Instead of viewing the lights of the Las Vegas strip, you might opt for a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon instead. This tour is a fabulous thing to do in Las Vegas for couples.
You travel in complete luxury with a limousine pick up before being whisked off to McCarran airport where you will depart, taking a scenic flight to the Grand Canyon West Rim getting a birds-eye view of Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and the Hoover Dam!
Once arriving at the Grand Canyon, you get to land below the rim and enjoy a champagne toast and light snacks.
If that isn’t a romantic thing to do in Las Vegas, I don’t know what is!
3. Hot Air Balloon Ride
I don’t know if anything is more romantic than a ride in a hot air balloon!
Soar with your sweetie in the Las Vegas air with this 3-hour hot air balloon tour which takes you over Red Rock Canyon, and the surrounding neighborhoods, while also giving you fabulous views of the Las Vegas strip.
4. Attend a Las Vegas Show
Las Vegas features world-class entertainers that never disappoint. This is among the most perfect things to do in Las Vegas for couples who have spent a long day exploring the city and just want an evening to unwind!
Honestly, a Las Vegas show is a must-do and something you will always remember!
Popular shows include:
- “O” by Cirque du Soleil
- V- The Ultimate Variety Show
- The Blue Man Group
- The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil
- Penn and Teller
- Crazy Girls
You can find the perfect show for you and your loved one here or purchase the Las Vegas Go Card and several Las Vegas shows are included!
5. Exotic Car Driving Experience

If your honey is an adrenaline junkie, then they will love an exotic car driving experience at the Las Vegas Speedway! You get hands-on instruction before getting behind the wheel of a luxurious sports car!
6. Rent a Limo
Get dressed up and take your significant other out for a night that they will never forget!
Among the things to do for couples in Vegas, cruise one of the world’s most famous boulevards in style when you rent a limo for the night! Pop a bottle of champagne as your professional driver takes you up and down the Vegas strip, to the Las Vegas sign, and to historic downtown Las Vegas.
Stop anywhere along the way to enjoy the slots, dinner, or to grab some friends!
You could splurge a little more and have the limo with a professional photographer for the evening. Have fun allowing your personal photographer to document your Vegas couple trip!
7. Go on a Food Tour
If your loved one is a foodie, then a Las Vegas food tour should definitely be on the list of things to do for couples in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is known for its world-class cuisine, so why not partake in that while you’re in town? You could opt for a walking food tour on the strip or a food tour in downtown Las Vegas, whichever area you prefer!
Marty and I loved doing the Secret Food Tour in Dublin, so I was super excited to find they now also do a Secret Food Tour in Las Vegas!
8. Take a Cooking Class
Cooking with your loved one is so fun and doing it in Las Vegas just adds to the fun!
Choose a fun cooking class and bond with your baby over food! If you’ve never participated in a cooking class then you’re in for a treat.
Enjoy creating a masterpiece while laughing and drinking wine all under the watchful eye of an expert chef.
This is sure to be added to your list of fun things to do in Las Vegas for couples!
9. Stratosphere Observation Deck
The observation deck high atop the Stratosphere is another of the best things to do in Vegas for couples. Let’s just say that many proposals have taken place on this observation deck.
I mean, with the glistening Las Vegas strip in the background, who would say no?
If you’re not in the market for a proposal, then go just to see the stunning views of the city and snap some great pictures.
Adrenaline seekers can also enjoy the many rides that are poised at the top of the Stratosphere like the Big Shot, X Scream, and the Insanity. If these sound like a little too much for you, then enjoy the observation deck before grabbing a cocktail in the Air Bar.
Get tickets to the Stratosphere Observation Deck here, or purchase the Las Vegas Go Card and this attraction will be included!
10. Take a Gondola Ride

Granted you aren’t in Venice, but it can feel like you have been transported there by going on a gondola ride through the canals of the beautiful Venetian Hotel. It might just be one of the most romantic places in Las Vegas.
Floating under the bridges and beside the beautiful cafes and vibrant streets of the Grand Canal is sure to please your loved one.
Enjoy the live serenade and take in sights of the meticulously recreated Venetian streets, or enjoy an outdoor ride in the open-air canals located right on the Las Vegas strip.
11. Do a Bar Crawl
Get off of the strip and head down to Freemont Street for a night of fun. Participating in this bar crawl allows you to skip the lines and head straight inside to enjoy the party. You also get discounted drink specials to help you save money while on your night out.
You can’t beat that!
12. Go On a Dinner Cruise
How about taking a romantic dinner cruise on Lake Mead? You and your honey will enjoy a 2-hour dinner cruise aboard a 3-level paddlewheel boat that includes a 3-course dinner and a champagne toast.
Not only that, but you don’t have to worry about transportation to Lake Mead because this tour includes pick up and drop off at most Las Vegas hotels! This is definitely among the most romantic Las Vegas ideas for you and your partner.
13. Tour the Fabulous Hotels

I love how each of the Las Vegas hotels has its own unique theme and set of attractions to draw visitors. You and your honey will have lots of fun visiting the fabulous hotels of Las Vegas.
Take time to tour the different hotels to see what they have to offer. You will find hidden jewels in each one.
The Bellagio boasts a gorgeous glass ceiling and a beautiful conservatory that changes with the seasons while the Golden Nugget houses a shark tank!
14. Visit the Neon Museum
Believe it or not, the Neon Museum can be a romantic thing to do in Las Vegas. The guided tour takes about an hour so it leaves you plenty of time to do something else afterward.
For the coolest experience, visit at night when you can see the refurbished signs lit up in all of their glory.
15. Have Cocktails in a Swanky Lounge

There are so many fabulous places in Las Vegas to enjoy cocktails.
The Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan Hotel is a multi-level bar housing three different bar experiences. Each level has a completely different feel and a unique drink menu. Check out their latest features here.
Things to do in Las Vegas for Couples – Tips and Tricks
There are so many great couple things to do in Las Vegas. When planning your list, consider some of these tips and tricks as well:
Be Mindful of Distances
The Las Vegas strip is so deceiving. You look down the street and you can easily see the sign for the place you are wanting to visit.
Don’t be deceived though, distances on this street are way farther than they appear. Not only that but to help keep people safe and traffic moving, Las Vegas has installed pedestrian bridges as the majority of intersections so that you go up and over the street. This adds extra time and steps to your travel.
Carry Sunscreen and Water With You
Ensure that you have sunscreen with you and that you reapply it throughout the day. The sun in Vegas is intense and you can quickly have too much exposure.
In addition to that, it is so important to stay hydrated while visiting. You will be doing a lot of walking so be sure and carry plenty of water with you.
Book Mid-Week to Save Money
Planning your stay here mid-week can help to save you tons of money. Shoot for a stay starting on Sunday instead of Friday!
Be Aware of Holiday Weekends and Special Events
Unless you are coming to specifically celebrate a holiday or to participate in a special event, try to avoid these times. Not only is Vegas more crowded, but you will also notice that prices increase dramatically.
Get a Rewards Card
Just about every group in Las Vegas offers a rewards card. All it takes to sign up is a valid ID.
This card gives you points and benefits for the money you spend while visiting their property. One of the best ones to sign up for is the MGM Mlife Rewards as this card can be used at 12 different properties throughout the city.
Don’t Over Book Your Time
Of course, we want you to put your must-do items on your things to do in Vegas as a couple list, but we don’t want you to book out every minute of your time here.
Half of the fun of visiting Las Vegas is to be open to new adventures. Just roll with whatever happens and build time in your schedule to just relax or to be completely spontaneous.
Things to do for Couples in Las Vegas – Final Thoughts
As you can see, there are so many things to do for couples in Las Vegas that you could visit time and time again! Of course, we have only scratched the surface in this list.
