The numerous hotel resorts on the Strip have beautiful swimming pools that are big, spacious, and equipped with a bar that have roaming servers who take your orders and deliver straight to you, wherever you are. When you are on a getaway, nothing could be better than relaxing by a pool in the hot desert and being served your favorite food and with an ice cold beverage.

2. Delicious Dining

Las Vegas is home to some of the best restaurants in the world, and while you are in Sin City, you should be able to taste what the best of the best tastes like. Indulge your taste buds, you deserve it! If you don’t feel like paying an arm and a leg for fine dining, how about a buffet? Vegas has amazing buffets with a plethora of international cuisine that will satisfy any craving. If you are with your family or friends, a buffet is ideal because there is always something for everyone.

3. Texas Hold’em

Poker is fun and exciting, and a trip to Las Vegas — no matter how long or short — wouldn’t be complete without trying out your luck in one of the big casinos. But there are so many variants, which one should you try? A very fun and popular variant Las Vegas is known for is No-limit Texas Hold’em. You never know, Lady Luck could be right by your side! So why not try playing a hand, or two, in the poker room of a major resort like Aria, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay or Bellagio? Even if you’re not a Hold’em regular, it’s easy enough to pick up the basics and enjoy the game and it will complete the Vegas experience.

4. Cirque du Soleil

All of their productions are spectacular works of amazing art. Currently, Cirque du Soleil showcases 5 different shows. Each show is very unique and has its own theme, story, drama, love, battles, characters, and live music. To enhance the viewers’ experience, each stage is specifically engineered for the jaw-dropping stunts and acrobatics. For example, the show “KA” does not have one permanent floor. Instead, it utilizes two moving platforms which produces the illusion of floating characters. The show “O” has a stage that turns into a swimming pool with a capacity of 1.5 million gallons of water that accommodates the acrobats, swimmers, and divers. Now, that’s Las Vegas’ dedication to your utmost pleasure!

5. Take a Photo at Every Casino

Every casino has something beautiful to showcase. By taking a photo, you can take those memories with you and begin adding pages to your Las Vegas story. All the casinos look fabulous during the day, and more so at night, when they transform into magnificent works of art. You can enjoy the beautiful Roman style pillars, a trip to Paris, a rollercoaster in New York, an enchanted castle, and many more unique hotel casino themes.

Short trips to Vegas are always fun and exciting, but many times, they also seem not long enough. So as long as you can relax by a pool, dine to your heart’s content, play some Texas Hold’em, watch a show, and take some photos, you will definitely have a fun-filled Las Vegas adventure.

This is actually why Las Vegas is best for a quick jaunt. incidentally a perk of living in southern California. It always makes a perfect quick getaway road trip and keeps us coming back for more, as there is always something new to do in Las Vegas.
