Venetian Las Vegas

Venetian Las Vegas

It may seem odd to call an entire resort an attraction, but you must see The Venetian Hotel in person to understand how romantic it is. You don’t necessarily need to stay at the resort to appreciate the ambiance, either. 

You can visit the Grand Canal Shoppes, make a reservation at one of the Venetian restaurants, take authentic Venetian gondola rides, or test your luck at the casino. No matter what you’re doing here, the romantic atmosphere at Venetian Las Vegas is one of the best in Las Vegas for couples.

Mirage Volcano

Mirage Volcano

The volcano at Mirage is one of the most underrated free attractions on Las Vegas Blvd. The volcano erupts once an hour from 8 PM to 11 PM nightly, with a masterful soundtrack timed with the eruption. 

Who knows what will be more fiery, the volcano itself or the sparks flying between you and your partner? (That may be a cheesy line, but we couldn’t let that opportunity go to waste!).

Also, if you want to see the Mirage Volcano, then you need to do it now. Rumor has it that it won’t be around much longer – it’s expected to close sometime in 2023, although the exact end date isn’t set yet. 

Bellagio Fountains

Bellagio Fountains

The Bellagio Fountains at Bellagio Hotel were designed with romance in mind. The water show is not only beautiful but groundbreaking in the world of water features. 

Every show is unique, and there are multiple free shows daily. The fountains are so captivating that if you’re in view when they turn on, you can’t help but watch the fountains dance. 

There are endless places to view this Las Vegas show. The closer you get, the more captivating and romantic the experience will be. 

Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower Las Vegas

If you can’t afford a romantic getaway to Paris yet, Paris Las Vegas Hotel is the next best thing. A 540-foot-tall replica of the Eiffel Tower is located in front of the resort, free for anyone to view from the ground. 

If you want to go into the tower, you can buy a ticket to the Eiffel Tower Experience viewing deck, dine in the fine dining restaurant, share a champagne toast, or have a drink at the bar. 

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Shark Reef Aquarium is one of the most fun, romantic things to do at Mandalay Bay. The large aquarium is home to more than 2,000 sea animals. With aquarium tunnels, stingray feeding, and shark diving add-ons available, you can customize your aquarium experience.

If you’re looking for an unexpected romantic spot to propose in Las Vegas, in front of a stunning aquarium is sure to impress. 

The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

A lot of the iconic Las Vegas landmarks and attractions for couples highlight the best of Sin City. While the city lights are magical in their own way, sometimes, one of the most romantic things in Las Vegas for couples is to get away from it all for a moment. Time slows down, and you can feel present with your partner. 

When you want to escape Sin City temporarily, The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at Bellagio will leave you speechless. 

Seven Magic Mountains Art Installation

Seven Magic Mountain Art Installation

This is one of the Las Vegas attractions that requires a bit of driving, but it’s so worth it! Ugo Rondinone created this stunning art installation that’s located in the desert near Jean Dry Lake. As the name suggests, there are seven pieces to the installation.

Each piece is a towering stack of boulders that have been painted vibrant colors. This is a great photo opportunity, and it’s free!

The STRAT

The STRAT

The STRAT is home to the tallest freestanding observation tower in the USA. The tower is an iconic fixture in the city and has the potential to be one of the most romantic Las Vegas attractions. That is, of course, if you aren’t afraid of heights!

Romantic Date Ideas

Whether you’re looking to reignite some passion or allow a new love to grow, the gondola is the perfect place for it to happen.

You will be able to love Las Vegas in a brand new way when you’re relaxed, moisturized, and feeling connected with your partner.   

Go to a Wine Tasting

Go to a Wine Tasting

Visit a nearby vineyard for a wine tasting. While this might not seem like one of the most romantic things in Las Vegas for couples, we have a specific reason for recommending it. 

During a wine tour, you’ll get some education on different types of wine and learn what your palette prefers. Use that knowledge for an incredible wine pairing when you have dinner at a romantic restaurant!

Whether you dine out the same night as the tasting or later in your trip, the wine tasting is a fun experience that will give you some practical knowledge about what to order.

Get Permanent Jewelry

Stroll the Erotic Heritage Museum

The Erotic Heritage Museum is located off the Las Vegas Strip, and as the name implies, it’s a museum dedicated to erotica. It’s a standard museum in the sense that the focus is on history, education, and the arts. In every other way, it’s way more fun than a normal museum because of the topic of the art. 

Keep the fun rolling at Deja Vu next door, a strip club and adult store. 

Drink at a Rooftop Bar

Drink at a Rooftop Bar

A gorgeous rooftop bar with a view of the city may be one of the most romantic things for a couple any night of the week. There are lots of fun rooftop bars in Las Vegas, from downtown to the Strip. 

Summer is the best season to try all the rooftop bars the city has to offer, but some are heated for year-round use. 

Watch a Sexy Burlesque Show

A sexy burlesque show isn’t something every couple would enjoy, but it’s something that’s very undeniably “Vegas.” Fantasy has been on the Las Vegas Strip for an impressive 23 years at The Luxor. 

The award-winning show is very sultry but tasteful. It is a topless show, but the dancers are never fully nude.

If you want something that would only be romantic for couples because it’s in Las Vegas, a burlesque show is an obvious answer. There are many themed shows other than Fantasy, including a spooky Zombie Burlesque

Take a Food Tour

Swim at an Adults-Only Pool

Swim at an Adults-Only Pool

Adults-only pools are a must if you’re looking for romance in Las Vegas. While family-friendly pools are nice when you’re with your family, when you aren’t, it’s the furthest thing from a relaxing setting. If you’re feeling daring, check out a toptional pool like Moorea Beach Club or Sapphire Pool.

If you want some tops-on fun, all the biggest pool parties on the Strip will fit the bill. 

Cut Loose at a Dance Class

Dancing with your partner is a fun way to keep things fresh and learn something new. Taking a dance class can help build confidence, and the next time you see a dance floor, you’ll be ready to show what you learned! 

Choose from private salsa or ballroom dance classes, or opt for something more casual, like line dancing lessons at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country.

Find a Hidden Speakeasy

Find a Hidden Speakeasy

Adding a bit of mystery and adventure to Las Vegas for couples is a nice change of pace from a traditional date night. Luckily, speakeasies have become huge in Las Vegas! There are hidden speakeasies on the Strip and in Downtown Las Vegas, probably closer than you realize. 

Las Vegas speakeasies can be a simple hidden door or a more complex entry process with a secret passcode, so researching before you arrive is a good idea. 

Visit a Topless Lounge

Deja Vu is the best topless lounge in Las Vegas for couples. In fact, they’ve built a name for themselves by catering to couples in the Champagne Room. The club sits next to an adult store and a movie theater screening various straight and gay content.

Matching tattoos get a bad rap, but any good tattoo artist can help you design a matching tattoo that’s unique, meaningful, and something you’ll love forever. 

Be Amazed at a Cirque du Soleil Show

Cirque Du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil is some of the best shows in Las Vegas for couples. The shows are intricate works of art that tell a story and captivate the audience. Many Cirque du Soleil shows involve some degree of nudity, but it’s done artfully, not sexually.

Key Takeaways

  • There is so much to do in Las Vegas for couples. 
  • Romantic things in Las Vegas don’t have to be things on The Strip or Downtown. Don’t be afraid to venture out to the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and the vast desert beyond the Strip.
  • Romantic things don’t look the same for every couple. Some couples want refined, upscale fun, while others want something a bit naughty or daring. 
  • If you want a romantic excursion out of the city, try a day trip to the Grand Canyon West Rim, raft on the Colorado River, or try out the hiking trails for unforgettable memories.
  • The romantic things that feel right for you are the most romantic! Don’t feel the need to do something you don’t want to do just because it’s “supposed” to be romantic.
