Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Clark County

"If you can't make it to Italy for a romantic gondola ride in Venice, the gondola rides at The Venetian are the next best thing. Couples float through the vibrant Venetian streetscape of the Grand Canal Shoppes, or cruise around the outside of the hotel in an authentic Venetian gondola as a talented singing gondolier sets the mood for romance, crooning romantic Italian songs like "That's Amore!" Private two-person gondolas are available, or couples can make it a double date and book a four-person gondola. A professional photographer will also be on hand to snap a few quick photos before your voyage, although couples are encouraged to bring their own cameras along as well."

"Treatments and facilities: With more than 90 treatment rooms and spanning more than 134,000-sq-ft, Canyon Ranch Spa at The Venetian is a can’t-miss oasis next time you find yourself in Sin City. There are myriad lounge areas, an Aquavana Hydrotheraml Experience (including a crystal steam room, experiential rains, Finnish sauna, herbal laconium, hydro spa and igloo), Bridal Suite, salon, barber and healthy cafes, Truth & Tonic and Canyon Ranch Grill. There is also a fitness room and rock wall."

"Make sure you add this oasis to your list next time you visit Sin City. Spread out over 134,000 square-feet and with more than 90 treatment rooms, you should have a plan beforehand, because you will want to try them all. If you have to pick, consider the Aquavana Hydrothermal Experience."

"Not many places associated with the word "museum" are such a hands-on experience, but the PHoF is packed with pinball machines from all eras. Known as both the Pinball Hall of Fame (PHoF) and the Pinball Museum, this is an unusual collection by any measure. The 10,000-square-foot non-profit museum is dedicated purely to pinball, and this Vegas gem hosts a massive collection of machines, many of which date to 1950 and most of which come from the celebrated heydays of pinball, 1960 to 1980."

"East Valley One of the few Las Vegas attractions left with both free parking and free admission, the Pinball Hall of Fame features more than 150 machines covering 10,000 square feet of space. The games span from 1947 to 2009, each fully restored, maintained, and playable. The older models are 25 cents to play while the newer ones are 50 cents, with a few vintage arcade games thrown into the mix as well."

"The Pinball Hall of Fame is an effort by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the focus, as this was the 'heyday' of pinball."

"The airy central conservatory, which opens up right as you enter Bellagio, was inspired by the verdigris framework of Art Nouveau conservatories of Paris. Despite the fact that Las Vegas sits smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, you can see the changing seasons in all their glory here as the garden transforms five times per year with fresh flowers; towering animatronic butterflies and birds; burbling fountains and bobbing lanterns. Each of its seasonal “theatrical presentations” of the elements is totally new."

"The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is easily a top candidate for the most photographed spot in Las Vegas. It’s also one of the best free attractions on the Strip. On display in the hotel lobby, the exhibits change every few months based on the season (like autumn and spring), holidays (like Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving) or whatever seems to be a compelling visual (a Japanese tea garden and “Under the Sea” were recent favorites)."

"The Bellagio is one of the most elegant hotels on the strip and the Bellagio conservatory and gardens are reflective of that atmosphere in a kid friendly environment. The atrium is filled with sculptures that are changed seasonally and made entirely from flowers, trees, and plants. Bellagio fountains as seen from above."

"You might not have known that Vegas is home to several museums dedicated to American cars, and Shelby American is one of the best museums in Las Vegas. Even if you’re not a car enthusiast, you’ll be entranced by the gorgeous, shiny cars that sit inside the heritage hall showroom. It’s dedicated to the legendary Carroll Shelby."

"WestgateThere's nothing better than saying "I know a place" and taking your date by surprise—in a good way, of course. Edge Steakhouse at the Westgate has a perfectly fine dining room with plenty of room for trade show parties that filter over from the neighboring Las Vegas Convention Center. But for a change of pace, request a seat at the bar, where head bartender Mike Thompson is usually on duty—a longtime customer favorite who's ready to hand out a stiff Manhattan and a dose of New York-flavored hospitality."

"If you’re going to order a steak in Las Vegas, you need to go all-in at Edge Steakhouse. Roasted bone marrow and Wagyu beef tartare will prepare your stomach for a 40-day dry-aged, bone-in ribeye topped with a cold water lobster tail, served with a bowl of black-and-white truffle mac’n’cheese that’ll convince you demi-glace belongs on every pasta dish. With your last sip of scotch to wash down the last juicy bite of steak, you’ll taste why this top-rated steakhouse has few rivals on the Strip."

"When searching for the best restaurants in Las Vegas, a restaurant with great service and presentation needs to be on the list. At Edge Steakhouse, try a wide range of delicacies like Filet Mignon, Aged Prime Rib, Beef Wellington and Alaskan King Crab Legs, paired with various sides from the traditional Loaded Potatoes or a Festive Mexican Street Corn. For a great experience and expert staffing, Edge Steakhouse is a great option for dinner in Las Vegas."

Hyper X also features its own production studio, virtual reality, and retro gaming. Hourly, daily and weekend passes available."

"This restaurant has three different locations to choose from in Las Vegas and is an elegant chain offering teppanyaki, sushi, and even Thai dishes. This steakhouse is your go-to spot to satisfy your beef cravings prepared in true Japanese style. They are committed to bringing you authentic flavours and outstanding service."

"This is only place to go in Las Vegas for sushi and sashimi – when someone else is paying. The quality of the raw ingredients (most flown in from Japan) is an immediate education in the subtleties that comprise a superior Japanese dining experience. The size of your pocket, and your sensibilities, will determine whether you think paying $15 apiece for toro, or $10 apiece for akamutsu (deep-sea snapper), or $34 for a kegani hairy-crab salad is worth it."

"AriaIn a race to have the freshest seafood in Las Vegas, barMASA promises to only use fish selections that have been out of Japan’s coastal waters for no more than 24 hours. The signature roll is the Masa Toro Toro. It’s filled with wild bluefin toro (which is a delicious fatty tuna), Tokyo Negi onions, and fresh wasabi."

"The restaurant ensures that the fish they serve have come directly from Japanese waters within 24 hours. The décor of the restaurant is modern, clean, and simple, which contributes to its upscale atmosphere. Chef Masa Takayama, a Michelin winning chef, creates innovative and delicious Japanese cuisine."

"Relaxed, unpretentious surroundings highlight this reasonably priced Mexican eatery. Breakfast is available daily, and typical dishes include egg platters with breakfast burritos and steak and eggs. Lunch and dinner features chicken and vegetarian options, along with their famous tamales with red or green sauce."

"Next on our list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s anything (we mean anything!) from Milk Bar. Milk bar was created by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi in 2008, and it’s a dessert place that offers a quirky and romantic spin on classic home-style desserts. It’s just so charming and delicious, it’s really hard not to be won over by this amazing little gem."

"As you’re sipping on bubbly and replenishing your energy reserves, turn your attention to stage west, a.k.a.The Bellagio Fountains. Performing their water ballet every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. - midnight, this ultra popular Las Vegas attraction can be the entertainment to your meal if you schedule your hunger pangs accordingly. Front row seats to the fountains and prime people watching – this is what we like to call the Las Vegas dinnertime trifecta."

"With a backdrop of Tuscan architecture, the Bellagio’s faux Lake Como and dancing fountains are the antithesis of the Mojave Desert – although the resort does use reclaimed water. The fountain show’s recorded soundtrack varies, so cross your fingers that it will be Italian opera or ol’ Blue Eyes crooning ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ instead of country-and-western twang."

"Although our itinerary looked like we did it all, we had a few things that we didn’t get to do such as taking a photo in front of the Las Vegas Welcome Sign and watching the Bellagio fountain at night. Overall, we had an amazing four days and we can’t wait to go back!"
