Making the Most of a Short Trip in Las Vegas
Before Dinner Drink
Vice Versa at Vdara Las Vegas
The outdoor lounge at Vice Versa at Vdara is exactly the perfect spot when you need to switch gears and enjoy your limited time in Las Vegas. The comfortable furniture allows you to settle into your comfort zone while the cocktails offer a delightful way to unwind. You can find a seat near the fire pits or lounge on a larger couch and reset your spirit.
You can choose between two delightful drinks. If you’re seeking a quick jolt of relaxation, order the Garden Tonic, which will make you feel as if you’ve just exited a calming spa, with its refreshing flavors and delicate balance. Although it may seem like a warm weather drink, in Las Vegas, it always feels just right. Alternatively, for a bit more kick, ask for a Fashionably Late cocktail, blending bourbon to soothe your taste buds and prepare you for dinner. While food is served at Vice Versa, it’s advisable to keep moving and experience more of what the night has to offer.
Dinner
LAGO at Bellagio Las Vegas
When spending one night in Las Vegas, you simply must indulge in a view of the Fountains at Bellagio. However, rather than sitting outside waiting for the show, enjoy dinner at LAGO Las Vegas. Here, you can revel in the magnificent outside spectacle while simultaneously delighting in the culinary artistry offered within.
This Italian small-plates-inspired menu, created by Chef Julia Serrano, provides ample opportunity for sharing and exploring different flavors. Be sure to order the Pizzette, as pizza should be part of your daily meals in this vibrant city. You will also be delighted by the Polpo E Fregola Al Nero, showcasing perfectly prepared octopus, which some may describe as the candy of the sea.
If possible, secure a seat on the patio to enhance your experience with stunning views. If that’s not available, the large windows still offer a breathtaking perspective of the fountains.
After Dinner Drink
Bellagio Cocktails
Since you’re already at Bellagio, consider having a drink at the resort. You might stroll over to the Gardens and Conservatory to help digest your substantial meal or simply drop into either Petrossian Bar or Lily Bar and Lounge. If you’re seeking a more relaxed atmosphere for conversation with classic cocktails, Petrossian will help slow down your evening. Conversely, if you’re in the mood for energy, Lily Bar and Lounge will elevate your spirits. Just be cautious; spending too much time there might hinder your plans for the nightclub later on.
The Nightclub for the Night
Hakkasan at MGM Grand Las Vegas
It is quite challenging to rival Hakkasan as the ultimate all-in-one evening venue in Las Vegas. You can start with dinner in an intimate, sultry dining area, radiating that unmistakable Las Vegas ambiance. The vibe is a mix of a chic hotel restaurant and a luxurious lounge. Once your party moves upstairs, your evening shifts to enjoying drinks in the lounge and engaging in friendly conversations nestled in one of Hakkasan’s cozy nooks. As the night deepens, you can choose a VIP booth or step out onto the expansive dance floor, where the energy of the crowd invigorates your experience. The essence of Las Vegas comes alive in this multi-level nightclub, keeping the party vibrant all night long.
