Las Vegas Events This Weekend

For great steaks with a classic old-Vegas atmosphere, book a reservation for Bugsy & Meyer's at the Flamingo. Named after the gangsters who founded the resort, the steakhouse plays up its mobster theme with a "hidden" bakery entrance and speakeasy lounge in the back. The steaks are dry-aged in-house, and among the best currently on the Strip. 

There's nothing else quite like AREA15 in Las Vegas. The large mysterious warehouse near Interstate 15 is a mixed use entertainment space, where you can sip cocktails at Oddwood, check out the installations at Art Island, experience virtual reality at Birdly and much more. Make sure to grab a scoop of ice cream at Emack & Bolios.

Planet 13 Superstore combines commerce with entertainment as the largest cannabis dispenary in Las Vegas. The 112,000-square-foot facility is in walking distance from the Strip (although an Uber is more convenient) and features a large selection of marijuana products. It also has an interactive floor, synchronized 3D projections and 13-foot-tall LED flowers on the roof.

Planet 13 is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More new things to do

It's a bit of a secret, but Las Vegas has one of the most intriguing Chinatown dining scenes in the country. Whether it's robatta-grilled meats at Raku, spicy Sichuan at Chengdu Taste or even a casual take on French fine dining at Partage, there is incredible variety to be enjoyed throughout the district. Check out bars like Golden Tiki for cocktails or the Sand Dollar for whiskey. Chinatown is just west of the Strip on about two miles of Spring Mountain Road easily reachable by taxi or rideshare. 

Grand Canyon tours are available by air, bus or limo. Soak in the spectacle of the west rim and step onto the infamous Skywalk if you dare. Tours typically start at 6 a.m. and finish at 2 p.m. Grand Canyon Tours

There's something for everyone on Fremont Street, especially if you're looking for a good drink. The Downtown Cocktail Room offers expertly made craft cocktails, while the Griffin has a killer beer selection. See if you can talk your way inside the Laundry room, the hidden speakeasy inside Commonwealth. More to do downtown.

Fly Linq Zipline is the only zipline attraction on the Strip. Soar over The LINQ promenade and land near the base of the High Roller observation wheel. Fly LINQ opens at 11:30 a.m. and closes at midnight. Tickets are $25 each before 5 p.m. and $30 afterward.

Las Vegas is home to some of the most incredible steakhouses in the world. The very best include Jean Georges at the Aria, Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian and Bazaar Meat at the SLS. Enjoy the scenery of Prime at the Bellagio, which has patio seating overlooking the resort's famous fountain shows. Otherwise, go old-school with the Golden Steer on Sahara or Hugo's Cellar at the Four Queens casino Downtown.

Start the day off right at one of these great breakfast spots on the Las Vegas Strip. There’s no shortage of high-profile brunches in Las Vegas, but breakfast is a whole different ball game. After a wild night clubbing, wake up early and get things back on track with the most important meal of the day — not counting happy hour.

Marvel at the classic neon marquees, casinos and people watching on this five-block pedestrian mall covering a classic stretch of Las Vegas. The massive overhead canopy hosts six-minute Viva Vision video and audio shows on the hour from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. More to do downtown.

Start with a champagne toast, then take a helicopter flight over the Strip. The nighttime tours are the best way to see the neon glow of Vegas in all its glory, including up-close views of the towering Stratosphere. Maverick Helicopters has a $99 online special for its roughly 15-minute Vegas Nights tour.
