Itinerary
Day 1
Settle into a central hotel, enjoy the indoor Bellagio Conservatory, a relaxed High Roller ride at sunset, and an early, comfortable dinner with a short Fountains viewing.
Arrive & Check in — Bellagio Hotel
Arrive at the hotel, use valet or hotel drop-off. Allow time to check in slowly, get keys, and have staff note any mobility or room needs (low bed height, grab bars, elevator access).
Tips from local experts:
- Request a room close to the elevators and on a low-to-mid floor to minimize wait times; the Bellagio has multiple elevators and step-free access.
- Use hotel bell services to handle luggage so you avoid carrying bags across long corridors or steps.
- Ask the front desk for the quietest hallway options and where the nearest accessible restroom and seating areas are.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens — Gentle indoor stroll
Short, level walk through the seasonal indoor displays. Climate-controlled and mostly step-free with benches along the route for rests.
Tips from local experts:
- Visit mid-afternoon when crowds are smaller; benches are spaced throughout the display for regular rests.
- There are level entrances and wheelchair-friendly paths; if needed, ask Bellagio staff for the nearest accessible entrance.
- Restroom facilities and water fountains are accessible nearby inside the Bellagio lobby.
Return to hotel room — Rest and freshen up
Take a full hour to rest in your room, hydrate, and change before heading out for an early evening activity.
Tips from local experts:
- Close windows and use in-room climate controls to stay comfortable — Las Vegas evenings in October can be pleasantly cool.
- Sit for 10 minutes before standing to avoid dizziness after resting; use the room chair or bed for support.
- If you need assistance with mobility aids, call guest services in advance so staff can prepare help.
High Roller at The LINQ — Sunset cabin ride (climate controlled, seats)
30–40 minute rotation in an enclosed, air-conditioned cabin with seating and minimal standing. Gentle, scenic views over Las Vegas as the lights come on.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a cabin near the ground entrance to minimize steps; the attraction has level boarding and staff assist with boarding if needed.
- Board on an off-peak hour—early evening cabins are less crowded; bring a light sweater as cabins can be cool.
- Reserve a cabin time in advance and request wheelchair-accessible boarding if required.
Dinner — Mon Ami Gabi (Paris Las Vegas) — relaxed, seated French bistro
Early dinner at a calm bistro with both indoor and patio seating; request a quieter table away from the main walkway.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a table in the indoor dining room for quieter ambiance and fewer temperature changes; request a table with comfortable chairs (no high stools).
- Reserve an early seating to avoid busy evening crowds; the restaurant is step-free from the Paris Las Vegas casino floor.
- There are accessible restrooms nearby; if mobility is a concern, ask staff for the nearest accessible route.
Short evening visit — Fountains of Bellagio show (seated viewing nearby)
Catch one or two fountain performances from a nearby bench or the restaurant terrace (step-free viewing points available).
Tips from local experts:
- View from a bench along the Bellagio promenade or from the restaurant terrace to avoid standing in crowds.
- Shows run frequently—ask hotel concierge which performance has the best sightline with the least walking.
- There is good lighting and paved, level walkways; if you need a closer taxi back to the hotel, the drop-off is nearby.
Day 2
A museum morning, a relaxed lunch, a curated neon collection in the afternoon, and a calm downtown dinner. Plan short taxi rides between spots and rest breaks.
Hotel Breakfast & Morning routine
Enjoy a leisurely hotel breakfast; plan medication, sunscreen (if going outdoors later), and comfortable shoes.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a table near the entrance to minimize walking from your room elevator.
- Have medication and a water bottle before heading out; October is mild but staying hydrated is important.
- Ask for lower-salt menu options if you are watching sodium intake; many hotel restaurants accommodate dietary needs.
Short taxi to The Mob Museum (downtown)
A brief taxi or rideshare to the museum; downtown taxi stands are easy to access from casino drop-off points.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask hotel concierge to order a taxi with a low-step vehicle if needed or to arrange a short accessible shuttle.
- Sit toward the front of the taxi for easier exit; bring a lightweight cushion if car seats are firm.
- The taxi ride downtown is short (about 10–15 minutes from the Strip) and avoids long walking distances.
The Mob Museum — indoor, accessible exhibits
Two hours exploring well-curated, indoor exhibits with elevators and plenty of seating. Focus on main-floor highlights to limit stair use.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the elevators and request a map from admissions to plan a mostly single-floor route and reduce stairs.
- There are benches and seats in most gallery areas; take frequent short rests and use accessible restrooms on each floor.
- Audio guides can be paused often; if standing is tiring, sit in exhibit alcoves and absorb the displays at your own pace.
Lunch — Bouchon Bistro (calm, table service)
Comfortable, classic bistro lunch with indoor seating and quieter ambiance at The Venetian area (short taxi back toward Strip).
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve an indoor table away from walkways; Bouchon has comfortable chairs and a calm dining room.

- Parking and drop-off areas are level; ask host for the closest accessible entrance.
Neon Museum — guided or self-paced visit (early afternoon)
Outdoor collection of historic neon signs. Visit in the cooler afternoon; paths are paved but wear comfortable shoes and use shaded areas.
Tips from local experts:
- Book an early-afternoon timed entry to avoid late-day crowds; the site is mostly level and has benches at intervals.
- Bring a sunhat and light layer—October afternoons are mild but the museum is partly exposed to sun and wind.
- If walking is limited, request an accessible route map at the entrance; some signs are closer to drop-off points.
Return to hotel / short rest
Take a short taxi back to the hotel and rest before a calm downtown dinner; use this time to recharge.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan for a 20–30 minute sit-down rest, followed by gentle leg stretches to ease circulation.

- If you require mobility aid storage or charging (e.g., mobility scooter), ask concierge to help.
Short visit — Fremont Street Experience (gentle, seated viewing)
A brief, early-evening trip downtown to see the Fremont Street canopy and historic core. Plan to sit at a bench or accessible cafe to avoid crowds and noise.
Tips from local experts:

- Carry a small cushion for firm taxi seats and bring bottled water for the drive.
- Leave a little extra travel time built into the schedule for rest stops if needed.
Visit Hoover Dam — scenic viewpoints and short, level paths
Explore the dam's accessible viewpoints and visitor center areas. Elevators and ramps reduce the need for stairs; focus on the most accessible overlooks.
Tips from local experts:
- Start at the visitor center where there are accessible restrooms and seating; staff can direct you to the easiest viewpoints.

Tips from local experts:

- Boulder City has small-town charm and level sidewalks—ask staff for the nearest accessible restroom.
- Allow extra time after lunch for a slow walk or a seated rest in the town's shaded spots before returning to the car.
Return transfer to hotel — rest in the afternoon
Short transfer back to the hotel and an extended rest period to recover from the day trip.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to drop you as close as possible to the hotel entrance to minimize walking.

Watch the fountains from a nearby seated spot then enjoy a relaxed farewell dinner with views at Giada (The Cromwell). Finish the evening early.
Tips from local experts:
- Watch the fountain from a bench or the restaurant terrace for minimal walking; fountain schedules are frequent in October evenings.
- Make an early dinner reservation at Giada and request a table with a fountain view; indoor seating keeps the temperature steady.

An early, relaxed farewell dinner with attentive service, comfortable seating, and views of the Strip from the restaurant (indoor seating recommended).
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve an indoor table and request comfortable chairs (not bar seating); ask for a quieter corner of the dining room.
- Giada offers dishes with lighter, Mediterranean-style options—ask the server for softer-food recommendations if needed.
