Tips for Couples Going to Las Vegas:
- Stay central on the Strip → less walking, more action
- Use hotel loyalty programs → perks, discounts & upgrades
- Skip a rental car → Uber/Lyft cheaper than parking. Parking fees are notorious in Vegas
- Deuce bus = easy Strip public travel
- Explore Strip early evening → if you just want to walk around, going in early evening is best to avoid crowds & see lights
- Reserve restaurants, shows, hotels in advance
- Pack a light sweater/jacket → hot daytime, cool nights
- Pack comfy shoes → walking is guaranteed
Do’s and Don'ts:
- Hydrate constantly: Vegas heat can be brutal—drink water before you even feel thirsty.
- Dress correctly for the clubs: Slacks, dress shirt, dress shoes. No shorts or sneakers.
- Don’t walk everywhere: The Strip is long—use the Deuce bus, Uber, or Lyft to save time and energy.
- Buy drinks off-strip: CVS, Walgreens, or ABC stores are much cheaper than casino bars.
- Avoid street scams: Don’t give money to anyone on the street—panhandlers, people in costumes, or “showgirls.”
- Skip sketchy dispensaries: No real THC on the Strip; go to Planet 13 or other licensed locations.
- Don’t trust strangers: If someone offers a photo, a CD, a card, or a “time share,” politely decline.
- Casino etiquette: Never hand dealers extra money or take cards/dice off the table.
- Check reviews before shows/activities: Vegas has world-class entertainment—but also some real flops.

It’s Always the Most Wonderful Time of the Year When in Vegas, But Here’s the Best Times to Visit:
For couples, the “best” time to visit Las Vegas depends on what kind of trip you want:
Spring (March–May): One of the most romantic times to go. The weather is warm but not scorching, awesome for walking the Strip at night or relaxing poolside. Resorts also start opening their pool clubs.
Fall (September–November): Another sweet spot. Temperatures are comfortable, crowds are lighter than summer, and it’s great for outdoor activities like Red Rock Canyon hikes or rooftop dinners.
Winter (December–February): Chilly but still mild compared to many places. Quieter vibe, fewer crowds, cheaper hotel rates—better for a more intimate, cozy getaway.
Summer (June–August): Extremely hot (100°F+), but lively—ideal if you want to party at dayclubs, pool parties, and nightlife spots.
Overall your best bet as a couple: April–May and September–October—because of the great weather and balanced energy without overwhelming crowds, these times are more romantic.
