| Las Vegas: the best place on earth
to get lucky. Whether it's at the Blackjack table or inside a suite at one of many
five-star resorts, Sin City is the best place to roll the dice and take a chance on love. And since Vegas is best at overdoing things (buffets, casinos,
shows, you get the point), a Valentine's Day spent in Las Vegas is bound to be the biggest
love spectacle you've ever seen. And if all that romance has you hearing wedding bells,
Sin City has over 50 chapels for you to choose from.
Never one to stop that old love train from chugging, we run
down the most romantic things to do in Vegas for Valentine's Day. From regular lovebirds,
to those about to propose, to those who are still waiting to be bopped on the head by
Cupid's arrow, Sin City's got it all.
Take Your Love to New Heights
For those who think that romance is all about giving the
world to the one they love, Las Vegas has the entire world on one strip. There isn't quite
anything more romantic than whispering sweet nothings to your sweetie at the top of the
Eiffel Tower. So look no further than the best Eiffel Tower replica in the world... in
Vegas, baby!
Standing nearly 50 stories above The Strip, the Eiffel
Tower Experience at the Paris Las Vegas will ensure that amour is in the air. This is a
great place if you're looking to do a proposal and have already broken the bank on the
ring. Make like Tom Cruise and get down on one knee at the top of one of the world's most
romantic landmarks. Then, stay for a romantic French dinner with a view at Chef J. Joho's
Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Oh, mon dieu!
And if the Eiffel Tower is still not tall enough, show your
romantic side by kissing at the "top of the world." Literally. The Stratosphere
Las Vegas is the highest free-standing structure in Nevada. Check out the view at 1,149
feet high, and let your romance soar.
A Trip Around the World
Now if your main squeeze is afraid of heights, taking them
up several hundred feet might not be their idea of pure romance. But there are still
plenty of romantic things to do in Vegas for those dating acrophobiacs. What about taking
in a water show set to music at the Bellagio fountains?
Or jet your loved one off to Italy for a romantic gondola
ride at the Venetian. Take in the charm of authentic Venetian bridges, architecture and
cafes as you are serenaded down the Grand Canal at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. Of
course, this is a much cheaper option than blowing your savings on a trip to Italy, and
when you hop off the gondola, you can head right to the casino.
Sin City is also one of the best places in the world to
take in a show. And while magic and Cirque du Soleil have a certain flair, those flocking
to Vegas this Valentine's Day can be treated to a Bette Midler show at the Colosseum at
Caesars Palace.
Now, while the "divine Miss M" might ooze all
shades of cheese, your main squeeze will be swooning over a live rendition of "Wind
Beneath My Wings" and will surely be putty in your hands by the time ol' Bette belts
out "The Rose." So play your cards right with the Bette Midler show, and you're
sure to win.
Valentine's Day for the Lonely
Don't think that we've forgotten about those who are in
love woe or who are still waiting to meet "the one." Vegas has plenty of things
to do on Valentine's Day if you're the underdog, or rather, in the dog house.
Check out some of Sin City's hottest dance clubs, like
Rumjungle at the Mandalay Bay, for some of the coolest booze and hottest ladies in the
world. Or drown your romance agony in more than 200 types of vodka at Mandalay Bay's Red
Square, and then take your mind off things at the Minxx Gentlemen's Club just off the
Strip.
Also, for those of you who are in relationship hell and
want to drop a hint, the Canyon Club Las Vegas offers a unique experience called Marriage
Can Be Murder: an interactive dinner show where a mysterious crime scene, perhaps
involving your spouse, unfolds. And when all the other couples have sauntered off to their
hotel room suites, you'll be sure to find a free chair at the Craps table and take a spin
of the Roulette wheel.
For those of you heading to Vegas this Valentine's Day,
count yourselves lucky. It might be the best place to be to get all romantic with your one
and only and squeeze in a quicky wedding, but it also might be the best city to forget
about your love woes and celebrate your singledom. |
