Las Vegas Honeymoon Planning Tips

 

Before you start getting swept away in the fun details of your romantic Las Vegas honeymoon, take time to think of your trip from a macro level. Here are a couple tips to iron out when you first sit down to plan. 

 

Clear Budget

Even though it may seem obvious, setting a clear budget for your honeymoon in Las Vegas is crucial for your planning process to go smoothly. From the very beginning, you and your partner should decide the maximum amount you’re willing to spend, as well as how much money you want to put into each part of the honeymoon — accommodations, entertainment, food, etc. It’s easy to let the bills rack up when you’re trying to create the most exciting itinerary, but sticking to your budget will ensure the trip and planning is stress free.  

 

Type of Honeymoon 

One other aspect to consider is the type of Las Vegas honeymoon you want. There is the traditional Vegas trip full of clubs, drinks, and gambling – and there are many other versions that are more low-key. Sit down with your new spouse and have an honest conversation about what you both are looking to experience during your honeymoon in Las Vegas.

Want a more quiet, relaxing trip? Make sure to stay on the outskirts of the Strip and plan for activities that stray from the busy nightlife and bustling activity of the casinos. Whichever way you decide to go, you’ve already created a solid foundation that will set you and your partner up for a memorable, cohesive, and exciting honeymoon in Las Vegas neither of you will forget!

Where to Stay

Because it’s your honeymoon, you’re most likely looking for a little bit of romance sprinkled into each part of your trip. If the stereotypical heart-shaped bed isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry. You can still set the mood in a more subtle way with classy Las Vegas suites and penthouses. At the Golden Gate Hotel, no matter what your honeymoon budget is, you will stay in luxury and style in our rooms.

If you want to go all out, make your Las Vegas honeymoon a lot sweeter by staying in one of our two luxury penthouse suites. Artwork, chandeliers, rich wood accents, and your own private outdoor patio all make for a romantic night with you and your sweetheart.

 

Best Time to Travel

After you’ve figured out the major guidelines of your Las Vegas honeymoon, it’s time to get down to the details. Las Vegas is in a desert, so doing your research on weather is extremely important if you want to enjoy yourselves without freezing or sweating bullets. 

The most common consensus on the best time to travel to Vegas is during spring. If you can find a pocket of time during the months of March-May to plan your romantic Las Vegas honeymoon, you should be good to go. Temperatures during the springtime tend to stay around the 70s and 80s, which is perfect compared to the dead of summer when the sun beats down on you at over 100 degrees. There are less people traveling to Vegas during these months as well, so you and your sweetheart don’t have to worry about crowds and wildly expensive booking rates.
