Valentine’s Day in Vegas: Your Ultimate Guide To Romance

If you and your honey-bunny are thinking of coming to Vegas for Valentine’s Day, you’re onto something. This amazing city has more romantic experiences to offer than you can even imagine. In this ultimate guide to Valentines in Vegas you’ll find all the information you need to plan the most romantic vacation you and your cuddle-pie have ever had together. From candlelit dinners to gondola rides, luxury suites to helicopter tours, we’ll cover all your options.

1. Book a Luxury Suite

When it comes to booking a room for your Valentine’s in Vegas, be sure to make a reservation as early as possible. Hotels will sell out very quickly for Valentine’s Day, and leading up to it, prices will skyrocket. In saying that… if you get in early, Las Vegas is a place where you can get a luxurious suite for the price of a tiny room almost anywhere else in the country. Here are a few of our all-time favorite romantic suites in Vegas.

This 610 square foot suite at the glamorous Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas gives you sweeping views of the Las Vegas skyline, and gives you a front-row seat to the epic Bellagio Fountains water display.

4. Take in a World-Class Show

Las Vegas is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, and offers a huge range of world-class shows, with something for every taste. Since you’re planning your perfect Valentine’s Day, here are our top picks for the most romantic shows in Vegas.

“O” by Cirque du Soleil

This beautiful show is Cirque du Soleil’s most popular performance in Vegas, and is held at the Bellagio in a ballet-like theater with a swimming pool as the center stage. You heard us right: a pool is where the action takes place, with synchronized swimmers, acrobats and aerialists creating a breathtaking dreamlike world you become a part of. “O” is unlike any other show you’ll see in your lifetime, and makes for a truly romantic night out for couples.

Atomic Saloon Show

If something more uproarious and raunchy is what you’re looking for, then Atomic Saloon show is probably for you. This simultaneously sexy and funny show is performed at The Venetian in a multi-level wild western saloon, where the audience becomes completely immersed in the action. Order a drink from the saloon’s cocktail menu and watch comedy, dancing, circus sideshow acts and more break out in front of you. Not for the timid or easily offended.

Absinthe

Performed inside a century-old circus tent made from velvet and mirrors at Caesar’s Palace, Absinthe is a raunchy adults-only show featuring acts inspired by late 19^th century circus and burlesque. You’ll gasp at death defying performances by acrobats and sideshow wonders, and laugh at the risqué jokes of the filthy rich and filthy-minded host, Gazillionaire. Absinthe is aptly described by New York Times as “Cirque du Soleil as channeled through the Rocky Horror Picture Show”.
