Recommended February Attractions

Drink FREE in Las Vegas: Lucky for you, LavishVegas knows where the free drinks and open bars are at the hottest clubs and bars on the strip. Events are added without much notice. Check our bar page before and during your visit. Login with your Facebook account to review the special offers.

Stroll the Strip: Check out the hotels, casino, bars and restaurants up and down the Strip. Pose for a photo with a street performer, but just remember – they expect tips. Walking the Strip will almost certainly leave you feeling hungry and thirsty. Use our interactive mobile map for walk times and to find nearby restaurants, bars and activities.

Hit the Slopes: Comfortably cool Las Vegas weather makes February ideal for exploring the nearby canyons and mountains. Visitors enjoy more time for outdoor activities without the restrictions of the summer heat. The Lee Canyon ski and snowboard resort at Mount Charleston is only 50 miles from the Strip. Here, thrillseekers can tackle the slopes while kids play in the snow.

Adrenaline Rush: The basins and ranges surrounding Las Vegas provide plenty of challenging terrain for adrenaline-inducing activities, such as Jeep, ATV, UTV and dune buggy tours. Off-roading is one of the best ways to see and photograph the unique shapes and earthy, pastel colors of the American Southwest, including the Nellis Dunes, Hidden Valley and Mojave Desert. Head to the Grand Canyon’s west rim, which is just a couple hours away (or 45 minutes by helicopter). Considered one of the seven wonders of the natural world, the canyon is over a mile deep and offers visitors hiking, rafting and horseback riding.

Tours: Pink Jeep Tours are popular for their excellent service and variety. The tours include the Strip, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Valley of Fire and more. If you’re looking for something mellower, try the Big Bus Tour around the Strip and Downtown Fremont Street area. The open double-decker buses allow you to hop on and off at many different Vegas landmarks, including the famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. The top level provides unobstructed views, perfect for photographs.

Visit Red Rock: Located less than 20 miles from the Strip, Red Rock Canyon is one of the most impressive sights in the Las Vegas Valley. The National Conservation Area features 19 scenic trails for hiking, ranging from easy one-hour strolls to difficult five-hour climbs. While the hikes themselves are free, the land is owned and operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior. They charge a very reasonable flat rate per vehicle.
