Las Vegas Itinerary 5 Days: Detailed
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #1: Daytime
Big Bus Hop On/Off
The best way to see and get an overview of the city is the Big Bus Hop On/Off.
The sightseeing Loop takes about 2 ½ hours to complete. The tour will take you through the Downtown Arts District, Wedding Chapel Row, Fremont Street, and of course the world-famous Las Vegas Strip.
The bus has multiple stops along the route, allowing you a convenient boarding point close to your hotel both on the Strip and Downtown.
Since our itinerary includes Fremont Street and The Las Vegas Strip, it is not necessary to hop off at these locations, until later.
Stop #1:
The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign: 1 hour
Once onboard, we suggest you stay on the bus until you reach the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Since the sign is not within reasonable walking distance, the Hop On/Off is a good alternative to a pricey Uber ride.
Scammer Alert!!!: There will be “nice” people around the sign offering to take your picture. They will expect a “tip” of at least $5 and sometimes more. Take your selfie stick or ask someone in line behind you. Remember to offer your service back to them.
Once you’ve taken all of your pictures, board the bus and continue your tour.
Stop #2:
Mob Museum: 2 hours
We suggest staying on the bus until either the Mob Museum Stop or ReBar in The Arts District.
The Mob Museum is one of the most fascinating tours in Las Vegas. Explore the lives and legends of notable characters like Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel, John Gotti, and more.
At the end of the tour, visit the Underground Speakeasy. Try the “Bathtub Fizz” or a “Bees Knees”. And remember to ask a guide for the password!
Stop #3:
ReBar in The Downtown Arts District: 2 Hours
By now, you are probably hungry and The Downtown Arts District is a perfect place for a quiet lunch. With vintage shops, wall murals, restaurants, and breweries, you can easily spend a few hours exploring Downtown Las Vegas Arts District.
📍 Casa Don Juan
📍 Esther’s Kitchen
📍 Good Pie
When you are ready, board the bus back toward your hotel near the Strip or Fremont Street drop-off points.
This is a good time to rest and freshen up before you head out for the night.
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #1: Evening
Dinner and a Show or A Show and Dinner
Catch an early dinner and a late show, or an early show and a late dinner. The choice is yours. Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. From concerts to sports teams, it is all here!
These are our suggestions:
Absinthe
Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino
Dining:
Bacchanal Buffet
Stanton Social Prime
Gordon Ramsey Pub & Grill
David Copperfield
MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
Dining:
Hakkasan
Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil

Las Vegas Itinerary Day 2: Daytime
Visit 7 Magic Mountains and Hoover Dam (5 hours)
7 Magic Mountains is a highly popular art installation on the outskirts of town. The colorful boulders stacked 30 feet high, make for some amazing photos. Although you don’t need a lot of time here, it is definitely worth seeing.
The Hoover Dam is a must-see when visiting Las Vegas. Just 45 minutes from the city, stands the massive structure. Visitors can walk across the dam, explore the visitor center, or take a tour down deep inside the power plant.
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #2: Evening
Party at the Fremont Street Experience
The party on Fremont Street is like no other. From live concerts, DJs, and street performers, the action never stops. Every night from 6 pm-2 am, the overhead canopy lights up in a magical display of music and imagery.
Although there is little outdoor seating on Fremont Street, there are a few good spots for people-watching and relaxing with a cocktail.
For people watching:
Whisker Licker Up
Four Queens outdoor patio
For dining:
$$$$ Oscars at the Plaza Hotel: Beef, booze, and broads, a Las Vegas icon.
$$ Whiskey Licker Up BBQ, burgers, and pub food.
$$ Evel Pie: We love the pizza and Evel Knievel memorabilia on the walls. It’s a total dive, but fun.
For cocktails:
Oscars for Happy Hour
Sand Dollar Lounge Live music 7 nights a week
Downtown Cocktail
Hogs and Heifers (cash only-prepare to be insulted by bikini-clad bartenders)
The Laundry Room (a speakeasy and you must have reservations)
Shark Tank at Golden Nugget
Stop into the Shark Tank pool at the Golden Nugget. You can see them circling, and if you time your visit right, you can even slide through the tank into the pool.
Slotzilla Zipline and Zoom Line
Want to fly 114 feet high above the party? Check out Slotzilla. This Zoomline experience is heart-pounding. As you fly above the crowd, the music plays and lightshow above will transport you to a whole different dimension.
Container Park
Container Park is located on the far end of Fremont Street, just a few blocks past the pedestrian-only outdoor and event space. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by an enormous fire-breathing praying mantis.
Inside Downtown Container Park there are shops, restaurants, and several cocktail bars. Throughout the week, there is often live music or events. The entire facility is made from repurposed sea containers. It is a work of art and imagination.
Oak and Ivy is our favorite stop in Container Park.
Atomic Liquors & Bar
The last stop is Atomic Liquors, a Las Vegas tradition. As the oldest free-standing bar in Las Vegas, Atomic Liquors has been serving libations since 1952. Back in the day, the upper echelon would attend “rooftop parties” and watch the bombs detonate in the desert.
Not much has changed in the decor, and the floor is still sticky. However, the food is good as well as the drinks.
It is worth a stop!
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #3: Daytime
The Fabulous Las Vegas Strip
Your Las Vegas adventure continues here! Excitement fills the air as you step onto the dazzling Las Vegas Strip. Your heart will race with the thrill of what’s to come. It’s like entering a world of endless fun and bright lights, and you’re ready to dive right in.
If you are like us, you are ready to get your Vegas day started early. This will be a busy day as you explore the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip!
Sightseers like us don’t want to miss being part of the action. We want to see everything! Implementing a methodical approach to exploring the Strip is important. This itinerary will help you stay organized and keep you from running in circles.
The Strip continually evolves throughout the day. It is lively and a fun place to people-watch. Unless you have reservations or show tickets, today is a leisurely day to stroll along and through the beautifully decorated casino lobbies.
There are some notable sights along the way we will point out to you. The Strip is over 4 miles long and nearly impossible to cover in one day, much less an afternoon without a plan. So, go at your own pace.
Remember, Las Vegas is a 24-hour town, so there is no need to rush your morning. There is a lot to see and do, so don’t be worried if you miss something. We’ve left some open time on Day #4 and #5 for you to revisit those places of interest.
StroTip
Las Vegas Blvd is over 4 miles long and although not impossible to walk, it might not be recommended.
Parking is expensive, at rates of $20+ per day at each casino/hotel. That means every time you move your car, you will pay this rate. The Wynn and Treasure Island still offer complimentary parking, but other than that parking is at a premium. There is no side street parking anywhere near the Strip.
For around $8, you can purchase a 24-hour transit pass and ride the Deuce bus to explore the Strip as well as Fremont Street. The buses run every 15 minutes making your ride hassle-free.
While you may not want to see the inside of every casino, we have outlined the “show stoppers”. The casinos are grouped in proximity to each other and have the most impressive architecture and allure.
Dress comfortably during the day. Las Vegas is a tourist town and the hospitality industry appreciates you. So unless you have an aversion to sneakers, it is okay to wear them.
Wynn Hotel and Casino
The Wynn is sophisticated and elegant. Walk through the botanical gardens and breathe in the beauty.
If you are hungry The Wynn has wonderful dining options such as:
📍 Wynn Buffet Brunch
📍 Terrace Point Cafe’
📍 Bar Parasol: Quiet and intimate, perfect for an early afternoon Bloody Mary or mimosa.
Things to do:
📍Lake of Dreams: Free Show: Every evening after dark, comes alive with a vivid imagery show.
The Venetian and Palazzo Casinos
Spend some time exploring Venice, Italy (Las Vegas style). As you wander through St. Marks Square, you can find plenty of shops, cafes, and gorgeous works of art.
Things to do:
📍Gondola ride through the canals
📍Madam Tussauds Wax Museum
📍LOVE art installation
📍Indoor Rock Climbing
📍Minus 5᷾°Experience
Get on the Duece and ride all the way down to Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay is a luxurious hotel in the center of the action during events at Raider’s Allegiant Stadium
Things to do:
📍Fan District: If you are in town for a Raiders home game, this is the place to be. Eat, drink, and celebrate before or after the game.
📍1923 Prohibition Bar: Go behind the bookcase and be transported in time to the prohibition era. This is a great place to relax with a craft cocktail.
📍Shark Reef Aquarium
As you walk through the aquarium you will feel as though you are part of this fascinating underworld. The colorful fish delight all who enter their world. But look out! Sharks overhead, and to the side. You never know where they are lurking.
Luxor & Excalibur
If you are interested in a few great Instagramable pictures, take the FREE tram from Mandalay Bay to Luxor and Excalibur Casinos next door. There isn’t much to see inside either hotel, but the giant Pyramid and Sphinx make fantastic photo ops.
New York New York
Exit the tram at the end and walk over to New York New York. The Statue of Liberty and The Brooklyn Bridge are popular photo spots along Las Vegas Boulevard. If roller coasters are your thing, then this is the best time for you to ride The Big Apple Coaster.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a fun place to listen to music on weekends. Other than that, I wouldn’t spend too much time here.
Things to do:
Park MGM
Now would be a good time to take a rest, and maybe have a cocktail. You are in the Center of the Strip and have a lot of options.
Lunch suggestions:
📍 Eataly $: Every time I walk through Eataly, my mouth waters. The open-air Italian food court has everything from gelato to carbonara. There are plenty of tables or counter seating available. Take some time to relax while people watching.
📍 Primrose $$: Park MGM: They have me at “Rose’ All Day”. Plus it is hard to resist deep-dish pancakes and eggs benedict. Primrose is a great restaurant to relax and be served.
Aria
Aria is a beautiful casino. A quick walkthrough is all you need if you desire. The restaurant and lounges are fantastic.
The Shops at Crystals
Step into the world of luxury at The Shops at Crystals, a haven of high-end fashion where you can find designer treasures from the likes of Balenciaga, Tiffany & Co, and Tom Ford. It’s a paradise for those who appreciate the finer things, offering a chance to explore and indulge in exquisite creations.
Whether you’re a fashionista or just looking to treat yourself, this upscale haven promises a shopping experience like no other.
Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino
The Cosmopolitan is our favorite hotel in Las Vegas. Combining an eclectic vibe with swanky decor, The Cosmopolitan has a host of hidden restaurants and bars, not to mention the World’s Largest Chandelier.
Enjoy a fabulous Las Vegas sunset at the Boulevard Pool in the summer or s’mores and ice skating in the winter. Slip into one of the secret speakeasies like Ghost Donkey or the Ski Lodge. Or, simply photograph the quirky art installations throughout the hotel.
StroTip:
Speakeasies are small cocktail rooms or secret parlors most of the time hidden in plain sight. Sometimes there is only a clue on the entrance door. The Cosmopolitan is creative in disguising its hidden gems. From a working barber shop to a high-end pawn shop, you never know what’s behind the wall until you ask.
These are three of our favorites:
📍Ghost Donkey: Shhh- it’s located behind the green exit door, near Hattie B’s Nashville Chicken. There is a white donkey decal on the door. Just come on in!
📍Ski Lodge: Shhh-it’s located across from the Wicked Spoon Buffet. Look for the door with a ski lift chair, or ask the hostess at Superfrico. There is always something weird in here.
📍Secret Pizza: Shhh- it’s located on Level 3 between Blue Ribbon and Jaleo. Look for the hallway lined with record albums. Seriously, the pizza is perfect!
Bellagio Hotel and Casino
The Bellagio sits center stage on The Las Vegas Strip and for good reason.
The hotel is both elegant and enormous. However, the most impressive event is out front in full view of all: The world-famous Bellagio Fountains.
Things to do:
📍The Bellagio Fountains: Every 30 minutes the fountains erupt in a beautifully choreographed dance. This show is not to be missed. Reaching heights of 400 feet, the dancing fountains are unbelievably beautiful.
📍The Bellagio Conservatory: Step inside the Bellagio and wander through the conservatory. The installations are colorful and carefully curated. Walking through the gardens is a special treat.
📍The World’s Largest Chocolate Fountain: Need we say more? Well, if that didn’t do it, how about the most unique display of macaroons? Simply delicious!
Caesars Palace
Caesars Palace is a Las Vegas icon. Outside, statues line the plaza. Inside, the magic comes alive.
📍David: Find the 18-foot replica statue of Michelangelo’s David in all of his glory. If you can’t get to Florence, there’s always Vegas Baby!
📍Atlantis Show: Stick around for the free Water and Fire Show, on the hour. In the Great Hall experience the battle between the elements. With effects of sight and sound, prepare to be spellbound for a few minutes.
📍Vanderpump Cocktail Garden: For those who are intrigued with pop culture, stop by the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden. It is a whole different world.
Linq Promenade
The Linq Promenade is a pedestrian-only mall and outdoor party. There are plenty of restaurants bars and shopping in this area. Although the promenade is not necessarily a must-see, The High Roller Ferris wheel located here is.
High Roller
The High Roller is the tallest Ferris wheel in the United States and ranks 2nd tallest in the world. Standing 550 feet, the view from the top is outstanding. With panoramic viewing from the comfortable passenger pods, the complete ride takes about 30 minutes.
By timing your trip right, you can catch the city’s magical transformation from day to night, framed by the brilliance of a Las Vegas sunset, right from this towering vantage point.
Paris Hotel and Casino
End your day with a breathtaking view from the observation platform of the Eiffel Tower. From 46 stories high above the Strip, the views are outstanding, especially after nightfall.
Dinner Suggestions
Being in the middle of the Strip, your dining options are many! Every celebrity chef has a restaurant and they are outstanding. Reservations are recommended.
📍Bacchanal Buffet: Caesars Palace: Hands down, the most epic buffet you can imagine.
📍Giada: The Cromwell: Italian comfort food with style and flair.
📍Mon Ami Gabi: Paris: Wine and Dine outside on the outside patio.
StroTip:
For a relaxing dinner away from the crowds, we suggest the iconic Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge.
The food is amazing, priced right with great service and the parking is FREE. However, if you are not driving, consider taking an Uber or Lyft to the front door of the restaurant. Otherwise, it may be a block or 2 from where the Deuce makes its stop.
This Peppermill has been featured in movies and videos, making it a Las Vegas favorite.
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #3: Evening
Night-time Helicopter Tour
From high above the center of the action, see Las Vegas from the sky. Las Vegas is a colorful town and begs to be seen at night. What better way than to see it by helicopter?
The Neon Museum
An evening tour of the Neon Museum is a special treat, many of the vintage signs are all lit up! Hearing tales of the bygone era allows a glimpse into what “Old Las Vegas” was like back in the day.
Otherwise known as the neon boneyard, this museum holds Las Vegas treasures like the Hard Rock Guitar, The Stardust, and the Ugly Duckling to name a few.
The Neon Museum is a must-see and do on your 5-day Las Vegas itinerary.
Unless you are driving, take an Uber or Lyft to the Neon Museum. We do not recommend trying to walk here, especially at night after you’ve been out all day..
StroTip
Book a combination night-time helicopter tour and Neon Museum Tour. Seeing Las Vegas from the sky is extraordinary! Give yourself another ✅ on your bucket list adventures.

The Grand Canyon is a few hours away and worth the trip, especially if this is your only opportunity. If you only have one day to visit, then we suggest a bus trip or helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon.

Option #3: Half-day Tour: Emerald Cove Kayak Tour
For those who are looking to connect with nature, a kayak tour might be your best option. You can relax in the morning, then take an early afternoon tour. Sunshine, beautiful scenery, and pristine water are the perfect amenities for an afternoon in this desert oasis.
Option #4: Party Like a Rock Star
Pool Party-Day Clubs
Day clubs and pool parties are all the rage in Las Vegas. In true Las Vegas style, the parties are off the hook with tons of people. Grab your bikini, book a cabana or daybed, and dance the day away.

StroTip
These are our suggestions for dinner:
📍Mayfair Supper Club
Prepare for an evening of entertainment and dinner beyond the ordinary. This is Las Vegas Baby! With the Bellagio Fountains as the backdrop, the entertainers will keep you dazzled while you enjoy a feast prepared for royalty.
This is more than dinner and a show, The Mayfair Supper Club is an experience.
📍Top of the World
For an over-the-top dining experience, The Top of The World is waiting. Enjoy a fabulous dinner with a view at 106 stories above the Las Vegas Strip at The Stratosphere. The panoramic views are outstanding as the restaurant revolves 360 degrees giving you Las Vegas in every direction.
📍Golden Steer
The Golden Steer is a Las Vegas icon. The ambiance makes us feel like we have stepped back in time and the Rat Pack might walk through the door. For over 50 years, The Golden Steer has been serving steaks, chops, and seafood.
Don’t be turned off by the outside appearance as it is located in a strip mall. The friendly staff and white linen tablecloths add to your dining experience. However, the food is the main event.
Before dinner, we enjoy having cocktails at another Las Vegas icon, The Mint right next door. Maybe you will too!
Las Vegas Itinerary Day #6 Bonus Day
Time to pack up and head for the airport! Remember to arrive 2 hours before departure if flying domestically. Sometimes, Harry Reid Airport can be a nightmare.
Remember to check all of the drawers, electric outlets, and behind the doors for anything you may have forgotten.
When is the Best Time to Visit Las Vegas?
The best time to visit Las Vegas is when you have the time and the money. Gone are the days of the $1.99 buffets and $2 cab rides. Everything costs money in Las Vegas.
Fall brings more comfortable temperatures, as well as the Raiders football and Golden Knights hockey games. Traffic can be horrendous.
Winter is chilly but dry. The few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are less busy, except of course during rodeo week. The Holiday decorations are over the top, and definitely worth seeing.
Spring can be windy, but the temperatures are moderate. March seems to be one of the busiest months for Las Vegas tourism.
Summer is HOT. In fact, it is incredibly HOT, often reaching triple digits before 8am.
Best Places to Stay in Las Vegas?
With a vast selection of rooms in Las Vegas, the initial question arises: where to begin? The answer is clear – rely on advice from trusted sources like us.
From ultra-luxury to budget-friendly, you can find what you want.
Best Places to Stay in Las Vegas: On The Strip
For newcomers and those who want to be in the center of the action, a casino hotel on the Strip will give you a full Las Vegas experience.
Keep in mind these sprawling hotels require significant walking, from check-in to your room. It is worth noting that the Strip can be on the pricier side.
Best Places to Stay in Las Vegas: Fremont Street
Opting for downtown Fremont might feel like a distinct departure from the Strip’s hustle and bustle.
If you’re a fan of serene mornings and lively nights, Fremont Street might be your ideal pick. Hotels here are more intimate and modest compared to their flashier counterparts on The Strip.
How To Get Around Las Vegas
Rental Car:
Renting a car in Las Vegas is super simple, with handy spots at Harry Reid Airport and lots of hotels. You’ve got options, from fancy sedans to rugged SUVs, and if you’re up for a special treat, you can go all out and drive something exotic like a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini.
Ride Share:
Using ride share transportation such as Lyft and Uber can be a convenient, safe way to navigate the city. From the app, order your car and your driver shows up at the designated meeting place. Fares are determined at booking, so you don’t have to worry about inflated fees.
Elite Car Service:
Of course, there are always elite car service companies such as Limos.com and Blacklane. Order a stretch limousine and cruise the Strip in style!
Taxi:
Taxi service is still a thing in Las Vegas. Most hotels have a convenient taxi stand with cabbies lined up to take you to your next location.
The Monorail
The Las Vegas Monorail is a fun way to explore the Strip. The route stretches from MGM Grand all the way to Las Vegas Sahara, with plenty of stops in between.
The Duece
Riding the Duece is both convenient and cost-effective. The double-decker city bus transports passengers from points on Las Vegas Blvd, to Downtown Las Vegas and Fremont Street.
5-Day Las Vegas Itinerary Conclusion
For some, Las Vegas is a once-in-a-lifetime trip and destination “bucket list” adventure. For others like us, the first trip to Las Vegas will ignite a deep love affair causing us to visit as often as possible.
On a final note, stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, especially if you are drinking alcohol. It is too easy to become dehydrated in the desert.
We put together this video on surviving Las Vegas, we hope it helps.
