Vegas Weekend Trip Tips

(Note:  You can click on any of the photos below to see a larger version of that photo.)

First of all, while you’re planning where to stay and what to see during your weekend in Vegas, we suggest you go into training. 

The week before your departure to, be sure to get plenty of sleep, stick to a nutritious diet, and take your vitamins. You want to look great and have plenty of energy. 

Also be sure to pack a great moisturizer.  We always find that our skin is easily dehydrated when travelling.  If you're in the market for a new one then check out the great products from our friends over at Murad.   They have great skin care essentials for both men and women:

When you're in Vegas, the chances are good that you’re not going to get as much sleep as you normally do, and your meals may be erratic, regardless of all the wonderful restaurants.  Pack some power bars, too, just in case you don’t make it to breakfast.

Of course, you’ll want to research all of the places that make a Las Vegas weekend so unique.  Planning ahead helps you use your time more effectively.  After all, anticipating and planning your Vegas weekend is a big part of the adventure.

If you plan to go to any of the hot clubs during your Las Vegas weekend, you’ll want to get your Vegas nightclub VIP package or Party Pass before you go.  The last thing you want to do is spend a long time waiting in line, only to find out that you can’t get in on that particular night. 

You can get your ultimate Vegas nightlife VIP pass easily by clicking here, and buying one through our booking engine partner.  (Our booking engine is powered by the Travelocity partner program, so you can rest assured that you'll be buying from a credible site). 

Get a Vegas Nightlife VIP Package

Getting your Vegas VIP nightclub package before you go to Vegas for the weekend is not only a smart economical decision (as it includes entry to over 20 of the hot nightclubs in Las Vegas, for one low price) it can also save you boredom and anguish on Saturday night!  

The lines can be really long at some of these great Vegas nightclubs, such as PURE (shown above) .  Frankly you might not be able to get into to some of these hot Vegas nightclubs at all if you don't have some kind of front-of-line Vegas nightclub VIP pass or Vegas VIP package lined up BEFORE you go to Vegas.  

And while we're on the topic, if you plan on doing any clubbing in Las Vegas, you might want to check out our article with Las Vegas nightlife tips.

Once you get to Las Vegas, one of the fun things to do is to check out the Las Vegas Strip for new resorts and casinos.  These mega-resorts are a sight to see in and of themselves. 

The Trump International, the Palazzo, the MGM Grand’s Signature addition, and Planet Hollywood (where the Aladdin used to stand) are all brand-new and worth checking out. 

Be sure to take a look at the MGM Grand complex, all 115 acres of it – it’s the biggest resort/ casino in town. 

Take a stroll inside and you may find yourself face-to-face with an inquisitive live lion, as I did. 

Their habitat is to the right of the gaming floor, and its well worth seeing.
