The best things to do in Las Vegas, on and off the Strip

Most people picture Las Vegas as the Strip and nothing else. The Strip is extraordinary, but the trips our guests remember most mix a big night or two with the desert, the canyons and the quieter side of the valley. Here's how we'd spend your days.

Eat well

Las Vegas has one of the densest collections of great restaurants anywhere, from celebrity-chef steakhouses to tasting menus and late-night noodle bars. The most popular tables book out weeks ahead on busy weekends, so lock in your big dinner first and build the night around it.

See a show

Residencies, Cirque du Soleil productions, magic, comedy and the immersive shows at the Sphere mean there's something on every night. Ask us what's playing during your dates and we'll suggest seats, plus a dinner nearby and a car waiting when the curtain falls.

Do the nightlife properly

The Strip's nightclubs and dayclubs are some of the best in the world, and they're also where a trip can stall: long lines, minimum spends and groups that get split up at the door. A reserved table and a host who meets you outside fix all of that. See how we plan group nights.

Head to Red Rock Canyon

About 30 minutes west of the Strip, Red Rock Canyon has a scenic loop drive, short hikes and some of the best rock climbing in the country. Go early in the morning in summer, and book the scenic drive timed-entry reservation when it's required.

Fly to the Grand Canyon

The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is a long drive but a short flight. Helicopter tours pass over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead on the way, and some land inside the canyon for a picnic. It's one of the most memorable half days you can have from Las Vegas.

See the Valley of Fire

About an hour north-east, Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park, with flaming red sandstone, slot canyons and ancient petroglyphs. Pair it with lunch on Lake Mead for a full day outside the city.

Where we fit in

We book the tables and seats, line up the drivers and helicopters and keep your group on schedule, so your trip is about the moments rather than the lines. Meet our Las Vegas concierge.
