Where

Las Vegas, US

Why now

Why not? This is the mentality you need for Vegas. From Great
Gatsby-style pool parties to all kinds of eye-popping shows,
there’s never a dull moment in sin city. Take advantage of the
stellar restaurant scene and world-famous nightclubs (such as 1OAK
and XS) and try not to be too dazzled by the bright lights of the
casinos. Tick The Venetian off your bucket list, while an outing to
Chippendales is mandatory.

When to go

While Vegas is typically sunny all year round, the most
comfortable times to visit are from March to May and September to
November. Hotel rates are considerably cheaper during the week.

Who to take with you

Your wild-child friends who are always up for an adventure.
We’re assuming you’ve seen The Hangover? You never know what kind
of shenanigans are going to go down in Vegas so you need to be sure
they’re along for the ride. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Most likely to bump into…

A just-married couple

Don’t miss

O by Cirque du Soleil at the Bellagio. From just $99 a ticket
witness a spectacle which takes place over water, where divers and
synchronised swimmers frolic alongside gravity-defying
acrobats.

An essential you need to bring with you?

That sequin dress which you’ve never worn because you can’t
quite work out if it’s trashy or downright fabulous – this is
Vegas, anything goes.

How to get there

You can fly into Las Vegas’ McCarran international airport from
most major cities. Planning a West Coast road trip? Interstate
15 will take you from LA to Vegas in just a few
hours.
