This is the perfect dining experience for a group of friends. STK offers weekend brunch, but I prefer dinner!

Happy Hour is the best time to visit, and they have it daily from 3 pm to 6 pm.

They start to get busy around 9:30 am. Make sure you say hello to Donna the hostess; she is the best! My favorite is the Heath Evans which is crispy bacon or sausage & melted American cheese on a glazed Pinkbox DoughCro® (half doughnut, half croissant) stacked with two fried eggs & a hash brown cake.

This is a speakeasy so look for the hidden door inside Block 16 by the exit sign with a donkey! It’s quaint but packs a bold punch of experience. Try a tequila flight or enjoy the truffle nachos, my favorite! They do not take reservations and the space is small but so worth the wait. Head here after you dine at STK.

This isn’t your average Happy Hour. They offer half-priced steak! Yep, you heard me correctly, half-priced steaks. Happy Hour currently is all night long so no need to feel rushed to add this place to your plans. Get there a little early and sit at the bar for a drink before dinner.

If you love vintage Vegas, you'll love Barry's. This steakhouse sets the mood and gives a vibe of the 50s and 60s with its timeless appeal. Request a booth for a romantic celebration dinner. Make your reservations in advance. It can be tough getting in here on a whim.

If you are visiting through the week, they offer lunch specials from 11 am-3 pm and happy hour from 3 pm-6 pm. The short rib fried rice and 3 color curry are among my favorite dishes. Add this onto Fremont Street experience and Slotzilla.

Service is quick here so there won’t be much of a delay from the time you order until the time you have your food in front of you. If you are into seafood, I highly suggest lobster and noodles. They are open almost 24 hours, but the best time to go is after a night out in the early hours of the morning!

Vanderpump is perfect for light bites before an evening out or just cocktails before a dining reservation. Shoot for 6-8 pm, depending on how you have the evening planned. This bar does not accept reservations, so arrive at least 30 minutes early to place your name on the waitlist. This is a place where you will want to take photos, so grab your camera and your best outfit!

They offer shareable plates and classic dishes with an urban twist. You will find their famous red velvet fried chicken and waffles at brunch on Saturday and Sunday, while the DJ rocks the house. If lunch, brunch, or dinner doesn’t fit into your schedule, then there’s Therapy After Dark when the restaurant shifts into a lounge area that serves late night bites until 2 am. I would make reservations for brunch hours as it can get busy. Brunch is my favorite time to visit outside of Therapy After Dark. Pair this with Container Park, you can walk!

My favorite dog is the DUI dog; It’s like eating a taco and a hotdog. This location has a bar to help keep your party going! Keep in mind there is no seating area.

Great for groups because each person can eat somewhere different, but all in the same place. For a celebration, dine at Toscana Ristorante & Bar by Eataly for a fine dining experience.

I suggest going before 11 am or after 4 pm to minimize being in crowds. That way, you get the full experience. They offer on-site parking that's $8 for the first four hours, with an additional rate after that. I would opt for the scavenger hunt with my friends and place a friendly wager on it to get in the Mob spirit! You can also save $10 on admission if you book a time slot between 9 and 11 am or after 5 p.m. Pair this with Eureka! on Fremont East!

There are two shows nightly and it's dark two days a week. Check ahead of time in case they are not showing on the night you want. For the MJ lovers, look into the VIP experience package.

The Vegas Views flight is between 12-15 minutes and will leave a lifetime impression! Don’t forget to bring a camera to record and take pictures, but no flash photography. When using a cellphone, it will have to be put into airplane mode.

The park is 21+ after 9 pm and is open until 11 pm daily. You can catch the Praying Mantis fire show, complete with a drum circle, that starts at sunset and goes until 10 pm on weekdays and 1 am on the weekends. I usually visit Container Park after 9 pm and enjoy the adult side of things. There’s nothing like being a kid again in the play area with your friends while enjoying the live entertainment. You can add to the art of Downtown Las Vegas by bringing a lock for the Love Lock Sculpture in front of the park, which represents the city’s thoughts and prayers.

There are three levels of fun and entertainment with standalone bars and a pool. You can have up to six people in a bay and play. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes, but if you choose to keep it dressy, that’s fine too. I may have golfed a time or two in heels. They have a full menu, so plan to enjoy the really good food too!

The line for pictures can get long depending on the time of day you visit. I suggest early morning times to cut down the wait time. The wait time can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Just remember, if you opt to take a picture with an Elvis impersonator or a Showgirl that’s present, they will expect a tip.

You can experience the zip line two ways: Zip Zilla, which is your traditional zip line experience where you are harnessed into a sitting position and zip across the FSE at 77ft, or if you are more of a thrill seeker, you can opt-in for the Zoomline and fly down the FSE like superman at 114ft about the FSE. Purchase your tickets online to avoid having to wait in two lines or the possibility of it selling out. Walk-ups are still welcome, but you may be limited on time availability. Flip-flops are not allowed, but they attach a bag to you for your personal items.

The Fremont Street Experience brings a new level of entertainment to the original Las Vegas Strip's vintage hotels and casinos. This reinvigorated space includes multiple stages with nightly live music, a variety of street performers, and the Slotzilla Zipline. Their centerpiece is the world's largest LED canopy screen, where the swirling visuals create a multicolored glow throughout space.

At 550 feet tall with 28 glass pods, this is the largest observation wheel in North America, and it's perched right alongside the Las Vegas Strip. One full rotation takes about a half hour, and you'll get 360-degree views of the entire Las Vegas Valley and the surrounding mountain ranges. Just don't call it a Ferris wheel.

A trip to Vegas isn't complete without stopping by this flagship attraction. It takes 120 horticulturists and engineers to maintain and swap out this seasonal floral exhibit five times a year. The Conservatory sits beneath a soaring glass atrium and is 14,000 square feet of sensory splendor. Trickling water features, live trees, and thousands of flowers are used for each display.

This entertainment space is all about immersive art experiences. The outdoor sculpture garden is your first glimpse of this unique concept, and the main area inside is just as vibrant and imaginative. The interior is filled with art installations, colorful lighting, and a range of activities and dining to choose from. Their most immersive are Meow Wolf's Omega Mart, and Illuminarium.

Don’t forget your camera for some Instagrammable moments! There is a free cell phone audio tour to learn more about the art, artist, and site, so be sure to check that out! Parking is free here, but if you rideshare, make sure the driver is aware that they need to wait on you.

What's more impressive than a thousand fountains swaying to Frank Sinatra? Go ahead, we'll wait. The Bellagio fountains are a flagship attraction in Las Vegas, with 1,000 streams of water rocketing more than 400 feet into the sky. Whether it's your first or 40th time in Vegas, this free show never get old.
