48 hours in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, what can I say…is one of the best cities in the world, in my opinion anyway. There’s so much to see and do that its almost a must that you have some type of agenda. I’m the type of person who hates winging it so I desperately need some sort of a game plan to fill my day, otherwise I’d feel as if I’m missing out on so much. My husband gets so annoyed with this. He’d be content with dinner and a few hours playing the slots.

My husband and I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas a few weeks ago but could only do a quick turn & burn…i.e. 48 hours to stay and play. Although this wasn’t nearly enough time to do everything I had planned, we still managed to have a great time while we were there.

If you are faced with only a few days in Vegas, below are a few things you can see or do to maximize your time there.

Places to visit

Top Golf

Honestly, this is probably the best Top Golf location I’ve ever visited. It has everything you’d expect at this location along with the additions of pools and private cabanas. Because of its massive space, it has tons of areas where you can feel free to intermingle instead of being confined to the golf bays or restaurant areas.

Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio

I always enjoy visiting the Botanical Gardens when I’m in town. The Bellagio has done an excellent job of keeping the gardens absolutely beautiful. As the seasons change and the holidays roll around, it will have more of a festive feel. Trust me, it never disappoints and most of all, its free.

Bellagio Fountains


Of course who can come to Las Vegas and not see the famous Bellagio Fountains. This is such a beautiful site to see, especially at night. The fountain waters dance to music every 30 minutes and it is definitely worth seeing. this particular night was a myriad of Michael Jackson’s songs.

The LINQ Promenade


The LINQ Promenade is in a prime location on the strip. It is located closer to the Fashion Show mall. This area is home to the LINQ High Roller (aka The Big Ferris Wheel) and also has tons of restaurants, shops and bars…..and who knows, you may even run into a few characters along the way.

Places to Eat

The Henry for Breakfast

The absolute best breakfast on the strip. If you’re looking for a homemade type breakfast, look no further. This restaurant is located inside of the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

Eggslut

eggslut is a great spot if you’re seeking a grab-n-go type breakfast. This is also located inside of the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen

Guy’s is a great place for lunch or dinner. This restaurant is located within the LINQ hotel & the atmosphere is in the center of the promenade entertainment. I love dining on the patio just to people watch.

LAVO Italian Restaurant & Lounge

LAVO is a great Italian eatery to dine for dinner. It is located within the Venetian Hotel and is in the heart of the strip.

STK Steakhouse

STK is quite delicious but pricey. I always say you get what you pay for so I don’t have any complaints. The food was delicious in every aspect.

Places to stay

The Cosmopolitan

  • Boulevard Pool
  • Boulevard Pool

Ok, I may be a bit biased on this one but I honestly cannot stay anywhere else when I’m in Vegas. I am in LOVEEEEE with The Cosmopolitan Hotel. It has such a modernized and chic design and feel to it. Just like the other strip resorts, it has everything you need inside- tons of dining options, shopping, lounges, casinos and pools. Plus it smells heavenly and not smoky like some of the other resorts. The rooms are very spacious and cleanliness seems to be a top priority. One of my favorite places to hang out is at the Chandelier Bar. Its so elegant and the music and drinks are an added bonus. The staff treated us like royalty. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. If I hadn’t mentioned it before, I will never stay anywhere else!

So there you have it. Hopefully this list will give you a few ideas in order to create your own agenda if you are only in town for a few days. Let me know in the comments what places you like to frequent or things you like to see and do in Vegas.
