Las Vegas itinerary: the Strip, a show and a desert day trip
Vegas looks compact, but the Strip is about 4 miles long and the walks between casinos take longer than you think. This prompt has your todo.is agent plan a Las Vegas itinerary that covers the Strip in order, adds downtown and Fremont Street, a show and a desert trip like Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon.
The prompt
- Plan a Las Vegas itinerary for [NUMBER OF DAYS] days, [TRAVEL DATES], for [WHO IS TRAVELLING]. Split the Strip into south, centre and north so we walk it in order (Bellagio fountains, the Venetian, Caesars Forum Shops, the High Roller), plus one evening downtown at Fremont Street. Find [SHOW] on our dates with links. Add [DAY TRIP] with the drive time and when to leave to avoid the heat. Our style: [STYLE]. Include one pool afternoon, a buffet or food hall, and free things to see (the conservatory, fountains, light shows). Tips on resort fees, the monorail, rideshare and staying cool. Email me a PDF. Don't book anything.
What to change
- [NUMBER OF DAYS]: E.g. "3".
- [TRAVEL DATES]: E.g. "7 to 10 May". The agent flags big conventions and events that raise prices.
- [WHO IS TRAVELLING]: E.g. "bachelor party of 6", "couple", "family with teens".
- [SHOW]: E.g. "a Cirque du Soleil show", "a residency concert", "the Sphere", "comedy".
- [DAY TRIP]: E.g. "Grand Canyon West", "Hoover Dam", "Red Rock Canyon", "Valley of Fire", or "none".
- [STYLE]: E.g. "nightlife and clubs", "food and shows, no gambling", "budget".
Example result
- Las Vegas in 3 days, a couple
- Food, shows, a little nature · May
- Where to stay
- • Centre Strip (near Bellagio, Caesars, the Cosmopolitan): walk to most sights.
- • Check the resort fee per night; it is added on top of the room rate.
- Day 1: Centre Strip
- • Afternoon: arrive, pool time. Mid-May afternoons can be very hot.
- • Bellagio Conservatory (free, changes with the seasons) and the fountains every 15 to 30 minutes in the evening.
- • Evening: walk to Caesars Palace and the Forum Shops, then dinner at a celebrity-chef restaurant or a food hall.
- Day 2: Red Rock and a show
- • Early morning: Red Rock Canyon (about 30 min drive). The Scenic Drive needs a timed-entry reservation in busy months; check the official site.
- • Short hikes: Calico Tanks or Ice Box Canyon. Bring lots of water.
- • Afternoon: back to rest, then the Venetian's canals and gondolas.
- • Evening: a Cirque du Soleil show or the Sphere. Ride the High Roller at night.
- Day 3: South Strip and downtown
- • Morning: brunch, then the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign (go early to skip the queue).
- • Afternoon: Mandalay Bay Shark Reef or the New York-New York area.
- • Evening: rideshare to downtown. Fremont Street Experience light canopy, the Neon Museum's boneyard tour (book ahead), then cocktails in the Arts District.
- Good to know
- • Distances are longer than they look. Casino to casino can be a 15-minute walk.
- • The Las Vegas Monorail runs behind the east side of the Strip; rideshare pickups are in marked areas.
- • Drink water constantly. Desert heat and late nights add up.
- • Most casinos require you to be 21 to gamble or sit at bars.
