Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Summerlin South

"Inspired by the city of Venice in Italy, The Venetian in Las Vegas houses one of the largest casinos in the world and is undoubtedly an important architectural jewel on the famous Las Vegas strip. As the city of Venice becomes the design inspiration, the hotel features replicas of many of its important landmarks like the Rialto Bridge, the Lion of Venice Column, Palazzo Ducale, St. Mark’s Campanile and Piazzetta di San Marco. It also hosts a large shopping mall along with an iconic nightclub that serves some of the best crowds of the sin city."

Cobblestone walkways, an illuminated painted ceiling, and a quarter-mile-long Grand Canal combine to make a beautiful backdrop for shopping at Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian | The Palazzo. The picturesque retail center features more than 160 signature stores with dozens of the world's premier luxury brands, including Tory Burch, Burberry, Harley Davidson, White House Black Market and Michael Kors."

"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."

"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."

"Poker is great, but have you ever played Peppy the Musical Clown?. At the Pinball Hall of Fame, you can take a walk down memory lane and revisit all of your favorite games from yesteryear. Despite the name, they offer a lot more than just pinball; there are also classics from the arcade era and the early computer era."

"If you’re in the area of the fountain show, make sure to check out the conservatory!. The Bellagio Conservatory and Gardens feature a stunning 50-foot glass enclosure with a spectacular garden interior that changes with the seasons. During spring, for instance, cherry blossoms and spring flowers are the order of the day–while in the fall, the conservatory is decked out in an array of orange, red and golden foliage."

"Each time I visit Vegas, I make sure to walk through the Bellagio for their famed Conservatory and Gardens. The floral displays and sculptures change with the season as this 14,000 square-foot space is transformed into a showcase of awe-aspiring sights, sounds, and scents. The Conservatory can get quite busy so I recommend visiting as early as your schedule allows for good daylight without the crowds."

"We found ourselves walking through a few beautiful hotels like the Wynn, Cosmopolitan, and also checked out the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at Bellagio. At 7:30pm, we took an uber outside the strip to check out a unique themed bar called The Golden Tiki. They have some really delicious drinks on the menu. It such a great time!"

"Located within Crockfords casino, the High Limit Bar provides Resorts World's high limit gaming guests with luxury cocktails and spirits."

"It was built up by missionaries in 1855, this fortification is viewed as the origin of Las Vegas. The state memorable stop is arranged on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, only south of the Washington Avenue intersection, one mile from Fremont Street in the downtown zone, and neighboring the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. The river that once streamed past, starting from Las Vegas Springs toward the west, vanished sometime for many reasons including the poor pumping of the water at the source; rather a reproduction has been introduced, streaming along a solid course through a short passageway of trees on the south side of the complex."

"Right in the middle of Downtown sits the remnants of an adobe fort from 1855. (Look for it across the street from a Sinclair gas station.) The site is actually the first settlement in the Las Vegas Valley by non-native Americans and was built by Mormon missionaries, then used by the US Army. The fort is now an official state park with wooden gates straddling brick walls and gravel walkways, old wagons, the first flag ever flown over Las Vegas, and the running stream that made the location so attractive in the first place."

"Las Vegas was once a small stop on a mail service trail between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. In 1855, the Mormon Church settled in this area and built a permanent structure. The oldest non-Indian structures in Southern Nevada, these adobe buildings, such as the beige and red house portion, are also the oldest historic buildings standing here today."

"We ate lunch at The Buffet which is located inside Wynn hotel. The food was great but the sight was beautiful!"

"Located just a few minutes from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, Delhi Indian Cuisine is a popular spot with UNLV's thousands of students and employees for its affordable lunch buffet, which recently reopened. The buffet is now served by staff rather than self-serve, but it is still all-you-can-eat. There is a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian items including soups, rice dishes, roti, samosas, pakoras, and a vast assortment of subji (vegetable dishes)."

"A longtime mobile vendor on the First Friday culinary circuit, Garden Grill now offers a brick and mortar restaurant on the westside at the Summerlin Gateway Plaza. Diners will find crispy chick’n sandwiches, beer-battered avocado tacos, plant-based carne asada fries, plus a kids’ menu with vegan cheese quesadillas and chicken strips. Online ordering available."

"Festival and farmers market favorite Garden Grill opened its brick and mortar location summer 2019. If they’re offering the Thrillist, a donut filled with breaded chicken and topped with bacon and cheese — get it. The restaurant offers fast food fare like fried chicken sandwiches, tacos and more."

"A staple at Vegas farmer’s markets since 2013, the Garden Grill opened its brick-and-mortar location in July 2019. Its all-vegan, organic, comfort-food menu boasts a variety of tacos as well as classic savory sandwiches, such as the delicious Philly Cheeze Steak."

"Come join the family at Slice of Vegas Pizza, which offers many more authentic Italian meals than just pizza. With a range of pastas, salads, and sandwiches on the menu, vegans will find a delicious and filling dish no matter how particular a palette they have. One option that Slice of Vegas Pizza guests really enjoy is the Bowls of Pastabilities, where they're able to create their own vegan pasta bowl by choosing the type of pasta, the sauce, and the veggies that they would like tossed in."

"If you’re near Mandalay Bay or the Luxor, Slice of Vegas is a must-try. Located in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, it offers an impressive vegan menu featuring pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches, including a vegan meatball sub and even a vegan Philly cheesesteak."

"Spago originally opened in 1992 and ushered in a new era of dining in Las Vegas with celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck at the helm. Now Puck’s revamped version at the Bellagio features his California fare sitting on Via Bellagio with its views that practically touch the Fountains at Bellagio. Lobster ravioli Doppio with Brentwood corn, Calabrian chilies, and buratta or campanelle with slow-braised pork ragout join steamed wild black bass with a chile-soy glaze and miso marinated salmon with yuzu butter on the menu."

"Spago is an iconic restaurant in the Las Vegas’ fine dining scene. It may even be argued that Wolfgang Puck and Spago started Las Vegas’ rise to becoming an epicenter for culinary delights. On the menu, you will find a variety of handcrafted pasta, wood-oven baked pizzas, the freshest seafood, and steaks to make your mouth water."

"Spago is another restaurant situated just by the Bellagio fountains. It’s important to note here that the great views aren’t guaranteed as there is a large indoor area. Patio reservations aren’t guaranteed and are given on a first-come, first-serve basis."

"You don’t need us to tell you that Las Vegas is the world’s biggest party town and the home of thumping EDM. But maybe you haven’t realised the lengths that the Megaresorts like Mirage, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Cosmopolitan and Bellagio will go to outdo each other. For theatricality nothing tops Light at Mandalay Bay, which has Cirque du Soleil-level acrobats over the dancefloor."

"Inspire is a rooftop bar, nightclub and lounge venue in Downtown Las Vegas. Depending on the time of day you visit, you’ll experience a different vibe. You can enjoy a relaxing glass of wine in a sunset or sip on cocktails and dance, dance, dance all night."

"Nightlife for singles and nightlife for couples can require drastically different elements in order to call the outing a success."
