Embarking on a getaway in Las Vegas is like discovering a hidden gem in your own backyard, even after living here for over two decades. The city keeps evolving with new and exciting activities and culinary delights, making each visit to the Strip a fresh experience.

My husband and I recently checked into the legendary Caesars Palace, staying in their newly revamped Colosseum Tower. The rooms blend Rome's opulence with modern comfort and sophistication, setting the perfect vibe for our little escape.

Whether you're a local due for a staycation or simply need a weekend getaway with your partner, add these top experiences to your Las Vegas travel itinerary.

Indulge in Culinary Excellence at Ramsay's Kitchen

Step into this beautiful, open restaurant and get ready to be wowed by both the ambiance and the food! Our order included the delectable Lump Crab Cake, vibrant Broccolini, mouthwatering Beef Wellington, and succulent Salmon. Whatever you do, don't miss out on dessert, especially the Sticky Toffee Pudding – a true must-try at Gordon Ramsay's restaurants.

Catch Mat Franco's Mind-bending Magic Show

No weekend in Vegas is complete without catching a show, and Mat Franco's mesmerizing tricks will leave you speechless! His performances aren't just about watching magic happen—they're about experiencing it up close and personal. Held at The Linq, his show transports you into a world where the impossible becomes possible, and you're right in the middle of all the action.

Savor Speakeasy Vibes at Bugsy & Meyer's Speakeasy

Located inside the Flamingo, Bugsy & Meyer's Steakhouse speakeasy is the perfect spot to unwind and relive vintage Vegas glam while grooving to live tunes. We treated ourselves to their silky Japanese and Scottish old-fashioned cocktails, which were absolutely incredible. What makes them stand out? They whip up their own syrup right in-house, giving these drinks a special touch that we won't forget anytime soon.

Experience Parisian Brunch at Brasserie B by Bobby Flay

Transport yourself to Paris with a Brasserie B brunch. Let yourself be swept away by the aroma of freshly baked pastries and the tantalizing flavors of their signature dishes, including Croque Madame, which, in my opinion, is the best in town!
And don't even get me started on their Raw Bar – it's not just stunning, it's packed with the freshest and tastiest seafood you can find. Make sure to indulge in the Peruvian scallops, clams, and their divine Lobster Club Sandwich.

Bask in the Oasis of Garden of the Gods, Caesars Palace

Unwind in pure luxury at the Garden of the Gods, an oasis in the desert boasting a collection of pools, lush greenery, and stunning Roman-inspired architecture.

Trust me, splurging on a day bed is an absolute must for the ultimate relaxation experience. While you're soaking up the sun, don't forget to treat yourself to some mouthwatering poolside bites from Caesars Eats, which has nine restaurants to choose from.

Get Pre-Dinner Drinks at Vanderpump Cocktail Garden

Toast to unforgettable moments at Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, undoubtedly one of the most Instagram-worthy spots in Vegas. Every cocktail here is not only delicious but also a work of art – your camera will definitely have to drink first! We indulged in the iconic Velveteen Rabbit and Veni Vidi Lychee cocktails, savoring every sip amidst the chic ambiance of this stylish garden oasis.

Feast at Peter Luger

Go on a culinary journey at Peter Luger, where we found ourselves for the second time, drawn back by its renowned steaks and decadent sides. From savoring their heavenly crab cakes and tomato and onion salad with Peter Luger sauce to indulging in their legendary baked potatoes topped with their famous thick-cut bacon, every bite was a testament to why we keep coming back for more!

Rejuvenate with a Couples Massage and Facial at Qua Spa

Treat yourselves to a blissful Couples Massage and Facial at Qua Spa inside Caesars Palace, where luxurious amenities like the Roman Baths and Arctic Room await. We absolutely loved the personalized touch at Qua Spa, where we had the freedom to tailor our experience to our exact preferences. Opting for the essential oil aromatherapy and hand paraffin treatment was pure bliss, setting the stage for a deeply relaxing full-body massage that left us feeling rejuvenated from head to toe.
