The Downtown Arts District is an area unlike the usual stereotype of Las Vegas. There are many trendy and sophisticated art galleries to browse through, but few casinos here. This area is the cultural hub of Vegas and you can expect to see the artwork of some of the best local artists displayed. If you are both true connoisseurs of art, you may want to make some purchases here. Otherwise, spend the day in the sun, flitting from gallery to gallery, and enjoying the atmosphere, live music, and art-talk-and of course, each other's company. There are also great antique shops in Las Vegas.
2. Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo
Wildlife Habitat
Stroll among lanky flamingoes as well as penguins, ducks, swans, and turtles in this Eden-in-a-hotel. Only in Vegas! Serene and quiet, this place is open all day and all night. If you arrive at the right time-late evening, or early morning, you can expect to find yourselves alone with nature.
3. Gondola Ride at the Venetian
Venetian Gondala
Where else but in Vegas can you take your date on a gondola ride, complete with a singing gondolier. In the world of make-believe, dreams and hopes are not new to lovers. This is a nice and quiet way to pass the time together. Oblivious to the envious stares of tourists, the two of you will glide over the water.
4. Top O' the World
Paris Eifel Tower
Vegas is a glittering strip of hotels set amidst a large desert, but no one said it is not attractive. Climb atop the Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel and enjoy a panoramic view of the city, or go to the Stratosphere and gaze out at the stars above, and below, as you whisper sweet nothings in each other's ears and make promises that will last a lifetime and more.
5. Bellagio Conservatory
Bellagio Conservatory
The Bellagio Conservatory is another perfectly natural habitat right in the center of a busy city. Arrive at a low-tourist time and you can enjoy wandering through the latest décor and plants in the beautiful greenhouse conservatory, maintained with care and love.
After all, you are living in Vegas, the city of dreams and fantasy - let yours come true.
6. Flyaway - Indoor Skydiving
Flyaway Center
Live your fantasy. If you are both into adventure sports, then nothing is more attractive or more challenging than skydiving. Indoor skydiving at the Flyaway Center means you can experience the superb wind tunnel with airspeeds of 120 mph. Just remember to book in advance.
7. It's Showtime!
Mirage's Club Jet
Las Vegas is the one place where there is no dearth of things to do on a date. It is just a matter of tastes and preferences. Get glammed up and catch a show. Head for the nightclub scene, show your smooth moves on the dance floor, and boogie the night away. Then, head for one of the better hotels (Paris, Bellagio, and Caesar's Palace) for a dinner of extravagant proportions.
8. Gamble away your Heart
Gambling Table
Gambling is what this town is all about. Dress up to the nines, set yourself a decent budget and then head for the gambling pits. Make sure your sweetie kisses the dice - blackjack, roulette, or just the jingling slots - whatever your pleasure; spend more time and less money as you both enjoy the excitement of risking money on instinct. When you have had enough, take a soothing walk away from the Strip to cool off, and maybe things will heat up again?
9. Fun in the Sun - Vegas Style
W-Hotel Swimming Pool
If you and your partner are water babies, then splash away the summer heat with a day at the swim-up bars. Yes, spend the day in the pool and have your drinks served to you as you wade. Of course, this is Vegas, so there is poolside (and in-the-pool) gambling, too.
After the activity, pamper yourselves at one of the great local spas and relax.
