You all may recall, that time when I went to Vegas with my parents. Well here we are again folks. My parents just booked a long weekend family trip to Las Vegas. One as a Father’s Day celebration and two to take my brother because he has never been. Apparently he was supposed to go with friends earlier this spring but when he found out it was 3 boys in a room and they would take turns sleeping on the floor, he put a hard pass on that experience. Frankly, I don’t blame him. So lucky him because now he gets to go on my parents dime… and its adding up quick.
So what do we have planned? A lot! But not everything yet. Take a look below at some of the highlights.
Check in at the Delano
The all-suites boutique hotel at Mandalay Bay. This will be the perfect size for our family of 4 with 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Staying at the Delano you get all the perks of Mandalay Bay plus your own private pool only for Delano Guests. Although it is located at the end of the strip there is access to a tram system to hop you over to the middle of the action.
Dinner at Carmine’s
An NYC staple, they also have a popular location in Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace. This is a family style Italian Restaurant and moderately priced (well for Vegas).
The Beatles LOVE Show
Located at The Mirage, this Cirque du Soleil show combines the famous circus based performance with your favorite songs from the Beatles. I have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show so I am really excited about this one.
Las Vegas Premium Outlets
You may think this is a weird item to put on our itinerary. But since I can’t afford any of the high-end luxury on the strip, the outlet mall is my jam. We went here on our last trip and found some amazing deals from luxury brands you can find on the strip. I highly recommend a morning or evening checking this place out.
Dinner at Smith & Wollensky
This is my Dad’s combined birthday and Father’s Day present. He has raved about this being one of his favorite steak houses and is excited to see how it compares to the NYC staple.
