Date day adventures: 10 romantic things to do in Las Vegas
"Review: The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian will transport you to romantic Venice as soon as you set foot inside. Featuring grand architecture, gorgeous canal, gondolas, waterfalls and more, this is definitely not your average Las Vegas mall!. The highlight of this romantic mall is the Grand Canal where you can enjoy a romantic ride on a gondola and kiss under the bridge."
"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."
"One of the most unique free things to do in Las Vegas with kids is to check out the Pinball Hall of Fame!. This unique museum is dedicated to pinball machines, especially vintage pinball machines. The museum boasts the largest collection of displayed pinball machines in the world, and children and adults alike will get a kick out of seeing the rows and rows of old pinball machines with their unique art and distinct flair."
"The Pinball Hall of Fame is a museum for pinball machines that opened in Paradise, Nevada in November 2009. It is located at 1610 E Tropicana Ave. The museum is a project of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club and it features pinball machines from all eras, including some very rare machines such as Williams; Black Gold, Bally Pinball Circus and Recreations Franco’s Impact."
"Before the Bellagio, not many people in Las Vegas knew what a conservatory was. Today, this beautiful indoor display of horticultural creativity is one of the city's best-known (and free) attractions. As the seasons and holidays change, the staff of the Conservatory swoops in to create sculptures and scenes made with plants, flowers, and other materials."

"The rainforest-themed dining room at Harmon Corner (a short walk from Planet Hollywood) erupts regularly with “thunderstorms,” and features a talking tree, a boa constrictor, and a 14-foot-long animatronic crocodile. For those who were lobbying for Disneyland over Las Vegas for the family vacation: everyone wins. The kids’ menu may be a little uninspiring for kids who like to veer off the beaten path (read: lots of chicken nuggets, burgers, grilled cheese, and mini hotdogs), but this may be just the ticket for parents who would like to settle in with a sugary cocktail and let the jungle animals do the entertaining for a bit."
"Parents can’t go wrong with Rainforest Cafe when searching for family restaurants in Las Vegas. Rainforest Cafe’s atmosphere is fun and exciting; with a jungle-inspired interior that includes a volcano, waterfall, animatronic animals and more. The menu includes classic and eclectic options, such as pasta, chicken nuggets, pizza, and much more; all of the menu items are named after the restaurant’s rainforest theme, so expect treats like “python pasta” and “jungle chicken tidbits”!"
"The Rainforest Cafe, a fantastic choice for kid themed restaurants in Las Vegas, is a fantastic restaurant with animatronic animals and delicious food."
"Combine one part video arcade with two parts nightclub and lounge and—voila!—you've got this epic anchor of the Downtown scene. On…"
"Giordano’s on Strip is the Las Vegas location for the famous Giordano’s Pizza, originally based out of Chicago. Giordano’s menu is filled with classic Italian food along with popular Italian-American options. The most famous offering at Giordano’s is the pizza, which is offered in delicious deep-dish Chicago style."
"The iconic pizza place is located in the Grand Bazaar Shops and will please the entire family with authentic, Chicago style pizza. Giordano’s offers dine in and carryout only."
"The most fundamentally French restaurant in town, Guy Savoy's food is rarely less than perfect. His wine list is probably the city's best, both in breadth and depth, and it's filled with trophy bottles from Savoy's cellar in Paris, as well as a large selection of reasonably priced new-world producers. No matter what you choose, you can depend on Savoy's food being spot-on renditions of the dishes that earned his restaurant three Michelin stars in Paris (it has two here), such as oysters en gelee (fresh kumamotos atop oyster cream topped with oyster jelly) and poulet en cocotte, the creamiest, whitest veal on the planet."
"Named after the Michelin star decorated chef, Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace is the sibling location to the original in Paris. The restaurant has earned a slew of awards, including a Top 40 Restaurant in the U.S. award from Gayot.com and a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Award for four years in a row. Diners can expect French cuisine at this elegant space, which offers sweeping views of Las Vegas’s replica Eiffel Tower across the street."
"Located at Caesars Palace, Restaurant Guy Savoy specializes in traditional French cuisine. Specialties include “Le Court Bouillon” of Maine lobster and Alaskan king crab over organic rice as well as an array of sweet and savory crepes!"
"Just a couple of blocks over from the Fremont Street Experience is Container Park, which is a unique and family friendly open-air mall made from shipping containers. There is a variety of restaurants, boutique shops, entertainment and a great interactive playground for the family. The playground has a huge tree house with a 33 foot slide, bridges, an interactive NEOS play system and foam building blocks."

This shopping destination is unique to Las Vegas and employs creative, new-concept retail strategy resulting in lots of innovative and trendy boutiques and restaurants."
"The Container Park, located Downtown, is an open-air shopping center built from repurposed shipping containers. Located just a few blocks away from the Fremont Street Experience, this open-air shopping center filled with boutique retail shops, restaurants, and live entertainment, as well as one of the best kids’ playgrounds in Vegas.Where: Container ParkAges: Children 10 and under"
"With more than three miles of neon lights, Neonopolis lives up to its name with dazzling, eye-popping displays that will burn your retinas like all good Las Vegas attractions. It’s made of three separate building complexes that converge around a single, open-air courtyard. Thousands of bulbs and marquees are always shining, scrolling, blinking and flashing."
"If you and your kids are ready for some retail therapy, look no further than the shopping mecca that is Castle Walk Shops. Located at the Excalibur, you'll experience shops, midway style games, rides, as well as gifts and collectibles at unique and distinctive shops. No trip to Las Vegas is completely without a little souvenir or 20."
