Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in McCarran International Airport

"For a dreamy las vegas shopping experience, head over to the Venetian to find cobblestone walkways, an illuminated painted ceiling, and a quarter-mile-long Grand Canal which makes the most stunning backdrop to go shopping. There are more than 160 signature stores here with some of the most luxe brands in the world such as Tory Burch, Burberry, Guerlain, Harley Davidson, White House Black Market and Michael Kors which makes this one of the best shopping malls in Las Vegas. Location: 3377 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USAWhat to buy: Clothing, accessories, footwear and more"

"The Venetian's regal 120,000-sq-ft casino has marble floors, hand-painted ceiling frescoes and 120 table games, including a high-limit lounge and an elegant non-smoking poker room, where women are especially welcome (unlike at many other poker rooms in town). When combined with its younger, neighboring sibling Palazzo, the properties claim the largest casino space in Las Vegas. Unmissable on the Strip, a highlight of this miniature replica of Venice is to take a gondola ride down its Grand Canal."

"Venice, Italy, is famous for its canals and singing gondoliers, but travelers won’t need a passport to ride the Grand Canal at the Venetian Casino Resort in Nevada’s largest city. The Venetian named their premier shopping mall the Grand Canal, then built a canal through it. Gondolas, complete with costumed singing gondoliers, guide their craft under bridges and balconies, and past shops with exterior décor that mimics the real thing."

"When we wrote this list in 2019, the much-loved museum for pinball machines was found at 1610 E Tropicana Ave in Paradise, but is due to move to the strip in the next few years. The Pinball Hall of Fame is run entirely by volunteers, and donates any extra revenue to the Salvation Army and other denominational charities . What awaits you are rows upon rows of historic pinball machines, from the 1950s to the 1990s, the majority of which are from the golden age of pinball in the 70s and 80s."

"Located just off strip, the Pinball Hall of Fame and Museum is 10,000 square feet of nothing but the largest collection of pinball games and memorabilia in the world. This museum is open to the public and not-for-profit featuring iconic games from the 1950s-1990s. The world’s largest video screen as seen at the Viva Vision Light Show"

"No less magical but a whole lot noisier is the Pinball Hall of Fame. This “living” museum is full of dozens of classic and fully restored pinball machines that you can actually play. The Pinball Hall of Fame is free to enter but you’d better bring a pocket full of quarters!"

"The flowers, trees, and other plants in Bellagio's soaring atrium are fresh and alive, grown in a 5-acre greenhouse. The artistic floral…"

"The stations in this place accommodate any Italian taste The name is Italian for "fish market" and while there's definitely an emphasis on seafood, the dishes are based on a wide array of components. Stations throughout the restaurant specialize in all things Italian, from imported cheeses, salads, and flatbreads to fresh-made pastas, steaks, and of course, desserts. Don't get the wrong idea; this isn't a Vegas buffet."

"Mercato is an authentic Italian and seafood restaurant, serving guests market-style, so you can smell the aroma of fresh seafood and shellfish at the crudo station and see the choicest meats at their macelleria station. The chef creates authentic Italian restaurant cuisine with the freshest all-natural ingredients in an open kitchen, where mouthwatering seafood, succulent meats, and homemade pastas are then served."

"All the middle tables were open when we arrived yet he still made us wait 10 mins for a booth."

"Vegas has many buildings more than 20 stories tall, but only Stratosphere exceeds 100 and boasts the nation's highest thrill rides. Atop the 1149ft-high tapered tripod tower, vertiginous indoor and outdoor viewing decks afford Vegas' best 360-degree panoramas. There you'll also find Top of the World, a revolving restaurant, and the jazzy 107 SkyLounge cocktail bar. To get to the top of Vegas' lucky landmark, ride one of America's fastest elevators, lifting you 108 floors in a mere 37 ear-popping seconds."

"If you dare (and we’re triple dog daring you), take the 829-foot plunge via The Sky Jump at the Stratosphere for an ultimate adrenaline rush. Don’t worry, you’re completely harnessed into the controlled fall but we promise that jumping off this tower is a total rush. However, if you prefer the safer side of things, this ain’t for you, Boo."

"If you’re looking to enjoy some of Las Vegas’ sunny weather, head just south of the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign to this European-inspired outdoor shopping and dining center. You’ll find a bit of everything, with restaurants such as Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews, and stores such as Saks OFF 5TH, Express and The Raider Image. If you consider bargain hunting a sport, there are several outlet centers that cater to the discerning shopper who’s always on the lookout for a great deal."

"There are big shopping stores like H&M and Express, boutique spots where you can buy dresses you're unlikely to see on anyone else in Vegas, and children's stores, accessory stalls, and makeup depots (hello Sephora), too. Grab a bite at one of several eateries or let the kiddos cool off in the small water park situated at the center of this neighborhood-like shopping center."

"Parents that need their kids to run off some energy can take a break at The Children’s Park adjacent to Town Square Park. This off-strip attraction is free and features a treehouse, rock wall, slides, fort, bridges, fountains, pretend businesses, maze, stage, restrooms, and shade sails with water fountains as well. The “container” park was built out of shipping containers"

"First up on my list of best shopping malls in Las Vegas, The Fashion Show Mall. This place is located right opposite The Wynn Hotel, so it’s in a great location on the strip and in walking distance of many hotels. The fashion show mall is one of the biggest malls in Las Vegas and has loads of HUGE shops inside."

"Come discover over 250 stores, multiple dining choices and department stores at Fashion Show, an iconic shopping, dining and entertainment destination on the Las Vegas Strip.

"This on strip mall features more than 250 stores, 8 department stores, and many fine and casual dining options amid weekly fashion shows and live entertainment. Fashion Show Mall is located between Treasure Island and Trump International Hotel."

"Incorporating an eclectic blend of 43 retail shops, brewpubs and eating venues, the Grand Bazaar Shops is a wonderful outdoor shopping mall you will be sure to enjoy. Although the mall is outside, misters throughout the shopping center will keep you comfortably cool even on a hot summer day. The Grand Bazaar Shops are located in front of the west entrance to Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on the Vegas Strip (see map above)."

"Twice every night (9pm & midnight) at the outdoor Grand Bazaar Shops, you can watch a 4,000lb starburst ball made of crystals drop, accompanied by a 3 minute light and music show. Since Vegas is always a party, this is kind of like a mini-New Years Eve celebration that happens every night!. Why wait for New Years when you’ve got the Swarovski Starburst."
