01 Las Vegas Tips
Any trip benefits from planning and going to Vegas is no exception. The best times to visit are when there are no major events or conventions in town that can raise suite rates. You can check the Las Vegas Convention Center Calendar to see if your stay falls during a busy time. Sunday to Thursday will yield better prices on suites and you should always check the great offers available on the resort’s website. The Venetian® and The Palazzo® received Forbes Travel Guide award for our Luxury King Suite that’s nearly double the size of the average Las Vegas hotel room. With a plush King bed, oversized tub, and lounging area you’ll be able to relax in style.
Book A Room02 Breakfast Fuel
One of the simple pleasures in life is enjoying freshly made breakfast. The nourishing cuisine at CR CREĀT is made with organic, non-GMO ingredients from grass-fed beef to wild-caught salmon. Start with baked taro chips, they come with grilled avocado hummus, cilantro, and harissa for a twist on traditional chips & guacamole. For something healthier with a sweet side, try the buckwheat pancakes with blueberries and black walnuts. They’re open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. so you can have nutritious Las Vegas food and be on your way to start your adventures around the city.

As one of the Top Ten Construction Achievements of the 20th Century, the Hoover Dam is one of the must-see things to do when you come to Las Vegas. It’s the highest concrete dam in the Western Hemisphere and is a National Historic Landmark. There are two tours available at the dam, the Dam Tour and the Powerplant Tour. The Dam tour includes a one-hour guided tour of the powerplant and passageways within the dam itself, and admission to the Visitor Center. The Powerplant Tour includes a thirty-minute guided tour of the powerplant only and admission to the Visitor Center. Getting to Hoover Dam is easy and it’s only about an hour away. Drive through Boulder City to where Nevada’s border meets Arizona’s and the Hoover Dam Access Road will take you right to it.
Reserve A Car04 Take in the Art
There is a plethora of incredible art on display in every crevice of The Venetian and The Palazzo. The sheer amount of work that was put into reproducing the Italian art and architecture as authentically as possible is staggering. If you still crave more then check out the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus. Uniquely located inside a historic gymnasium (the original basketball court floor has been kept and maintained), they feature fine art exhibitions from artists tied to the region along with cultural artifacts from the indigenous Paiute tribe and ancient Mesoamerican people. When they’re not hosting University Forum Lectures and Visiting Artist talks, they show experimental video art. All they offer is free to the public, but a small donation is encouraged. They have a wonderful collection and it’s one of the best things to do in Vegas during the day to escape the heat for a bit.
