We’ve all heard that what happens in Las Vegas stays there, but what exactly draws people from around the world to the city? From parties in Las Vegas to destination weddings, there’s something for everyone out in the desert. See why the city is a perfect fit for your next trip, whatever the occasion may be.
Las Vegas has long been one of the top destinations for bachelor and bachelorette parties – and it’s easy to see why.
Any bachelor party in Vegas is sure to be unforgettable. Vegas houses a long list of nightclubs where the party never sleeps, from Drai’s Beach Club to Omnia’s massive dance floor.
The daytime can be just as exciting as the night, though, especially with options like the Circa’s Stadium Swim®, where guests can enjoy chaise lounges, private cabanas, swim-up bars, and HD TVs all in one place. If a pool isn’t sufficient to channel some relaxation, a bride-to-be and her girl gang may want to spend a day at one of the city’s many opulent spas. With so many options, an unforgettable itinerary is nearly guaranteed.
A bachelor party in Vegas isn’t complete without a trip to the casino—though gambling is reason enough on its own to visit Sin City. In fact, 75% of visitors to Las Vegas gambled during their stay. When it comes to gambling, there really is something for everyone. A three-story sportsbook at the Circa offers guests the largest sports betting experience in the world, complete with everything from stadium seating to live betting analysis.
Meanwhile, we’re home to the one of the oldest casinos in the city, where you can enjoy everything from slots to traditional table games. Paris Las Vegas and the Bellagio are two stunning destinations, complete with an Eiffel Tower and fountains, respectively, that each house casinos. Altogether, finding a casino isn’t the hard part – winning money is.
While watching and betting on sports can be just a small component of a trip to Vegas, it can also be the main driving factor. Fans flock to the city for major sporting events all the time – from football championship games to horse racing! Last year, Las Vegas hosted the Formula One Grand Prix for the first time, while the city is also home to the Las Vegas Raiders and Aces, to name a few.
But you can catch just about any sporting event in Vegas as well. Circa Las Vegas is the home of the largest sportsbook in the world, making it the perfect place for watching and betting on sports. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a co-owner of a restaurant called Walk-On’s that boasts more than 60 TVs, while Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Sports Kitchen is another great spot to chow down and watch a match. The Downtown Las Vegas Events Center also hosts viewing parties for major sporting events.
If sports aren’t your cup of tea, you can still leave Las Vegas entertained. Fremont Street hosts some of the world’s biggest and brightest shows, while the recently opened Sphere offers a fully immersive concert experience, with big names like U2 and Phish currently in residence. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. From magic shows to Cirque du Soleil, comedy shows to drag shows, adult-only shows to star-studded concerts, there’s truly something for everyone in Vegas.
Vegas doesn’t have to be all fun and games, though. The city’s also a premiere destination for business trips, particularly considering the sheer number of meeting spaces available to guests. The 4.6 million square foot Las Vegas Convention Center has hosted huge trade shows, while the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and The Venetian Expo can also handle massive events. Most hotels, including the Circa and the Four Seasons, also have state-of-the-art event space for serious visitors. Business by day, parties in Las Vegas by night—what better way to get people excited about work?
It’s hard to think of a more exciting reason to visit Vegas than to tie the knot, which is why more than 150 marriages take place in Vegas each day. With so many Las Vegas destination weddings, it makes sense the city is known as the marriage capital of the world. From shotgun weddings to glitzy extravaganzas, anything is possible in Vegas.
Circa has a stunning ballroom with a large terrace, in addition to a rooftop cocktail lounge with panoramic views of downtown; The Flamingo has a gazebo chapel full of palm trees and exotic birds; and the STRAT offers a chapel in the clouds. When it comes to parties in Las Vegas, nothing tops one in which two people say “I do.”
From sports viewing parties in Las Vegas to destination weddings, there’s truly something for everyone in this town. With so many reasons to book a trip to Vegas, what are you waiting for? Book your room at Golden Gate Las Vegas, and be in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas – perfect for all of your reasons to visit.
