Las Vegas, also affectionately referred to as "Sin City," is a playground for adults. Whether you enjoy gambling, seeing a show, fine dining, or simply cruising the strip, Las Vegas offers myriad potential fun places for dates. Think about what your loved one enjoys and fashion the evening around those tastes.
Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Circus Circus is a hotel and casino with restaurants, gaming and lodging. However, what makes the hotel stand out is the permanent circus found inside. Simply walking through the corridors of the hotel, you come across clowns, jugglers and magicians. If you go to the performance space, you see an array of acts including contortionists, trapeze artists, and dance artists performing. You can also sample circus-themed food such as popcorn and cotton candy. If your loved one is a fan of the big top, Circus Circus is a fun date option.
Several Las Vegas hotels offer rides right on their properties. For instance, the Stratosphere hotel offers a roller coaster ride called the X-Scream which sits close to 1,000 feet in the air. Other rides on the premises include the Sky Jump where you are dropped 108 stories at a rapid pace, or the Big Shot where you shoot straight upward at 45 mph. The New York, New York Hotel and Casino also offers a roller coaster which reaches a top speed of 67 mph. If you and your date fancy water rides, check out the Rim Runner at Circus Circus, where you take a ride downstream and end with a 60-foot drop.
Las Vegas is also known for performing acts scattered throughout the city. Whether you are into singers, comedians, magicians, circus acts, plays or musicals, a plethora of acts are available from which to choose. Purchase tickets to popular shows well in advance, as some acts sell out on a nightly basis. If you stay at a Las Vegas hotel, ask the concierge to help you obtain tickets for a particular show you want to see.
If you are looking for a quiet night and a romantic dinner to share with your loved one, then a simple date idea is to make a reservation at a fine dining establishment. Las Vegas is full of celebrity chef restaurants across myriad cuisines including French, Asian, American, Chinese and Japanese. Make reservations ahead of time if you plan to dine on a Friday or Saturday evening, as many of the top restaurants get busy on the weekends when travelers come to town. Think about the cuisine your loved one enjoys, book a table and order a bottle of wine to start off the night.
