With its incredible attractions, jaw-dropping entertainment, world-famous hotels, and 24/7 casinos, it's hardly surprising that millions of people flock to Las Vegas every single year. And, if you’re craving high-end shopping, glamorous pool parties, or gourmet dining, Vegas delivers the ultimate escape.
So, what should you know if you're planning a chic and stylish getaway to Las Vegas? Let’s take a closer look at how to make the most of your upscale adventure.
Stylish Accommodation
The foundation of any stylish Las Vegas getaway is selecting the perfect hotel – after all you want your accommodation to offer all the right amenities and have an atmosphere as sophisticated as you!
You can’t go wrong with one of the well-established Las Vegas icons (they’re famous for a reason), but don’t discount some of the newer boutique hotels. These can offer an alternative vibe that can feel just as upmarket as the larger hotel chains.
With so much choice on offer, it can feel a bit overwhelming, so before you book, ask yourself some questions to narrow down your search:
How important is location? — Do you want to be right on the Strip, close to specific attractions, or would you prefer a quieter, more exclusive resort?
What are your must-have amenities? — Are you looking for award-winning restaurants, high-end spas, onsite entertainment, or boutique shopping experiences?
What atmosphere do you prefer? — Do you want a hotel with a lively, party vibe or something more serene?
What’s your budget? — How much do you want to splurge? Do you plan to blow your budget on a luxury penthouse suite or save it for dining and entertainment?
If you’re still struggling to choose your perfect accommodation, here are some of my favourite Las Vegas hotels:
Wynn Las Vegas & Encore: With more Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards than any other independent hotel company, this hotel epitomises luxury, style, and excellent service. You can enjoy signature restaurants, chic nightclubs, exclusive shopping, spas, and special events like a cheese connoisseur class and bread making workshop. You may forget there’s a whole city outside the resort.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas: Known for its modern and art-forward vibe, it’s the perfect hotel for those looking for a hotel with a more edgy style. There is curated art throughout and chic bars like The Chandelier are perfect for sipping cocktails. Many of the rooms also have private terraces adding an extra layer of stylish exclusivity.
NoMad Las Vegas: There is nowhere better for European-inspired boutique chic than NoMad Las Vegas. It gives vintage flair with a romantic vibe, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, but without compromising on location. Make sure you spend some time relaxing by their elegant pool!
Indulgent Spa Days
Now you’ve got your perfect hotel all lined up, it’s time to think about all the incredible experiences on offer. And, is there any better place to start than a relaxing spa experience? They’ll have you rested, rejuvenated, and looking your best for a night on the town.
Las Vegas spas offer a lot more than the typical massage and facial. They take their treatments to the next level, giving you the chance to experience some of the most innovative experiences out there.
If you head to the Spa at Wynn, their signature “Good Luck Ritual” based on the five Chinese elements is a must. It incorporates Custom Massage, a peppermint foot treatment, moisturising hand therapy, and a botanical scalp treatment for the ultimate relaxation experience.
And that’s just in one spa! The Spa at ARIA offers unique relaxation rooms including Himalayan salt bricks, Ganbanyoku Beds, an outdoor therapy pool balcony, and diamond-infused facials. Whereas at the Sahra Spa, Salon & Hammam you can enjoy private Hammam rituals like the “Moroccan Journey” or the “Red Flower Hammam Experience”.
You’ll find you’re completely spoiled for choice with the wide range of spa treatments on offer. However, some of the more popular and iconic experiences can get booked up fast. Take some time before your trip to peruse what’s on offer and make some reservations so you’re not disappointed.
Gourmet Dining
After working up an appetite in the spas, you’ll want to find a sophisticated restaurant that combines stunning style and delicious food. For a high-energy vibe with upscale sushi, Zuma is your place. Its open-flame grills, dim lighting, and beautifully plated dishes are sure to impress and make you the envy of your friends back home.
For a 1920s supper club meets Hollywood glam, head to Delilah. It’s an excellent spot for people-watching and with live jazz and the Gatsby-inspired interiors it’s where style meets performance. Another restaurant with dramatic flair is the Carbone. Its retro-glam nostalgia gives off Rat Pack vibes and their Spicy Rigatoni Vodka is to die for!
Mizumi is another great option if you’re looking for a stylish dining experience. The koi pond and floating table make this a truly unique place to eat, and that’s not even mentioning the mouthwatering food on offer.
Las Vegas combines style and dining effortlessly, creating a dining experience like no other. Just make sure to reserve a table at your bucket-list spots to make sure you don’t miss out.
Chic Nightlife
So, you’ve relaxed, you’ve eaten — it’s now time to party the night away! After all, Vegas is world famous for its entertainment.
From rooftop cocktail bars to high-end nightclubs, you’re sure to find something that fits your style. Here’s my list of favourites that never fail to impress:
Skyfall Lounge: Located on the 64th floor, it offers spectacular views of the city and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. Enjoy their artisan cocktails, shareable plates, and a DJ on weekends
Rosina Cocktail Lounge: This bar offers a more intimate feel with classic cocktails and a sophisticated atmosphere. Just make sure to check out the “press for champagne” buttons.
Ghost Donkey: Tucked away at the back of the Block 16 Urban Food Hall, expect a fiesta atmosphere, tequila, and mezcal.
XS Nightclub: With indoor and outdoor spaces this nightclub is famous for attracting some of the best DJs out there. Also, the Sunday Nightswim pool party is not to be missed.
Conclusion
If you're dreaming of a getaway defined by style, Las Vegas delivers like no other. With its luxurious hotels, world-class spas, gourmet dining, and glamorous nightlife, it's the ultimate destination for a chic and unforgettable escape.
