Compare Hotels in Las Vegas from NZ$37

Looking for a holiday getaway you won’t remember the next day? It’s time to go to Vegas, baby! You’ll make some great memories in the neon-lit streets. Heck, you might even marry your sweetheart with Elvis Presley or Cher officiating. On second thought, maybe this should be a solo-cation—your call. When you’re not taking in a glitter-clad concert or making the slot machines glow, explore the peaceful Mojave Desert or simply escape to the modern amenities of one of the swanky Las Vegas hotels. They want you to take the fancy soaps.

Wondering how to get to Vegas? Well, follow the trail of sequins to southern Nevada, just west of the Colorado River. You’ll find accommodation in Las Vegas as easily as you’ll find an all-you-can eat seafood smorgasbord, which is super easy. If you want more of these fun-loving desert vibes, there’s more where that comes from. Book Nevada accommodation in other cities, too, and see the rest of “The Silver State” sparkle.

Things to Do in Las Vegas

Before you start strutting what your momma gave ya, here’s a pro tip: In Vegas, there is no “nightlife.” It’s just life, 24/7. When you do want to step away from the fray during daylight hours, visit the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, a gorgeous nature reserve located just 28 km west of The Strip. If natural beauty isn’t your thing, there’s always the Neon Museum, dedicated to the many lights along Las Vegas Avenue. Oh, and if you ever wanted to learn more about the history of organised crime, visit the Mob Museum north of Fremont Street, where you can find some great eats and equally delightful people-watching. Before you come in for a crash landing in one of the top hotels in Las Vegas, make sure you see a show at the Bellagio or Cirque du Soleil. And if you’re dying to see Europe, but you don’t have time for two inter-continental holidays, there’s always the canals at the Venetian and a miniature Eiffel Tower in Paris, Las Vegas. Seriously, we can’t make this stuff up.

Best Time to Visit Las Vegas

Vegas may be in the desert, but thanks to the wonder of air conditioning, any time is a great time to let your freak flag fly in “Sin City”. Evenings cool down during November through February, but other than that, the city is hot, hot, hot. And the temperatures rise a bit, too. ;)
