Itinerary
Day 1
Gentle-paced day along the central Strip with frequent rest stops, short transfers by taxi, and mostly indoor or shaded activities suitable for older adults.
Hotel arrival & orientation — Bellagio Hotel and Casino
Settle in, find elevators, accessible restrooms, and nearest seating. Use hotel concierge to confirm any mobility assistance or wheelchair rental and to book later taxis or restaurants.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the Bellagio valet entrance for the smoothest, step-free arrival; ask staff to place you near an elevator.
- Confirm elevator banks and accessible restroom locations at the front desk so you can plan short walks between areas.
- If you need a wheelchair or scooter rental, the concierge can arrange one for same-day delivery to your room.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens — easy indoor walk
Short, level route through a climate-controlled seasonal display. Benches placed throughout and generally flat floors make this a comfortable viewing experience.
Tips from local experts:
- The Conservatory is entirely indoors and climate-controlled — great for cooler November weather and anyone sensitive to sun or temperature.
- Benches are distributed on the route; pause frequently and enjoy the displays slowly rather than completing one long circuit.
- Entrance is step-free from the main lobby level; if you have mobility aids, ask Bellagio staff about the best drop-off point to avoid busy pedestrian crossings.
View the Fountains of Bellagio from an accessible spot
Short outdoor show viewed from a level promenade outside Bellagio. Shows are brief and frequent in daylight hours — a low-effort iconic Las Vegas experience.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand or sit on the accessible promenade along the lake; there are level viewing spaces with minimal crowds in mid-morning.
- If standing is tiring, ask staff about nearby benches or request a polite seat at a nearby cafe with a fountain view.
- Shows are scheduled and short (a few minutes); check the hotel's schedule at the concierge for exact show times on the day.
Light mid-morning break — Bellagio Patisserie
A quiet spot for coffee, tea, and a pastry with indoor seating and accessible restroom nearby. Good place to rest after the conservatory and fountain viewing.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose indoor seating to avoid sun exposure and to stay comfortable in climate-controlled space.
- Ask staff for a table near the restroom or with extra legroom; many tables are arranged for easy access.
- Order simple items to avoid long waits; staff are experienced serving guests who prefer a relaxed pace.
Short taxi transfer to The Cosmopolitan (The Henry for lunch)
A brief, low-effort ride across the mid-Strip. Request curbside drop-off at the hotel entrance to minimize walking.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to use the curbside drop-off at The Cosmopolitan's porte-cochère to avoid stairs and long walks.
- If using a mobility aid, request a wheelchair-accessible vehicle when you call for a taxi or rideshare.
- Keep the reservation or ride receipt handy and let the host know you arrived; The Cosmopolitan has elevators from the drop-off to dining areas.
Accessible lunch at The Henry — The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
Comfort-food menu in a bright, comfortable dining room. Good portion sizes and attentive service, with level access from the entrance and elevator.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a quiet table away from busy walkways; the restaurant staff are accustomed to accommodating seating preferences.
- There are step-free routes and elevators from The Cosmopolitan lobby; ask a host to guide you if needed.
- Consider ordering a lighter entrée and sharing desserts to avoid long post-meal fatigue; staff are happy to pace the service.
Taxi transfer to The LINQ / High Roller boarding area
Short ride that keeps walking minimal; ask to be dropped at the High Roller entrance which has level boarding and staff assistance.
Tips from local experts:
- Request drop-off at the High Roller ticketing/boarding zone to avoid navigating The LINQ promenade's crowds and any uneven pavement.
- If you have mobility concerns, mention this to the driver so they can choose the most convenient entrance.
- Bring a lightweight jacket — cabins are climate-controlled but the boarding area can be breezy in autumn evenings.
High Roller at The LINQ — climate-controlled observation wheel
45-minute rotation in a seated, climate-controlled cabin with staff support for boarding. Panoramic views of the Strip without stairs or long standing periods.
Tips from local experts:
- Cabins are wheelchair-accessible and climate-controlled; tell staff if you need assistance boarding or a seat near the door.
- Choose a daytime ride for clearer views and fewer crowds; in November daylight is comfortable and not too hot.
- Bring a small cushion or ask staff for extra support if standard seating feels too firm — they are used to accommodating comfort requests.
Gentle stroll and rest at The LINQ Promenade
A short, level promenade with benches, shade structures, shops and accessible restrooms — good for a slow, seated people-watch or light window-shopping.
Tips from local experts:
- Stick to the main promenade path where surfaces are flat and there are frequent benches for resting.
- If you prefer less noise, aim for quieter side seating near the lower levels rather than the central plaza near attractions.
- Accessible restrooms are marked on site; plan short rests every 10–15 minutes if walking between benches feels tiring.
Taxi transfer back to Bellagio for a calm rest
Short, comfortable ride back to the hotel for a rest before evening plans. Use a low-walk route at drop-off and ask staff for seating recommendations.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to drop you at Bellagio's main entrance or valet so you have elevator access with minimal walking.
- If you prefer, request the driver wait nearby to help you into the lobby; many drivers will assist with small bags.
- Use this rest window to hydrate and, if needed, take medications before dinner to avoid evening fatigue.
Quiet rest at the Bellagio (lobby seating or your room)
Take a deliberate, unhurried break: sit in the lobby or return to your room. Short rest to recharge before an early, relaxed dinner.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a seat near an elevator and restroom so your next short walk is easy and stress-free.
- Ask hotel staff for a carafe of water and a light snack if you feel hungry — hydration helps with energy in autumn days.
- If you booked tickets or reservations earlier in the day, confirm them now and ask concierge to call a taxi for an exact pickup time.
Short transfer to Giada at The Cromwell for an early dinner
A brief ride or level walk across to The Cromwell. Giada offers Italian-inspired dishes with a calm atmosphere and city views; request a quiet table when you arrive.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask to be dropped at The Cromwell's main entrance and request elevator access to Giada to avoid stairs.
- Call ahead or ask the concierge to confirm your reservation time and any accessibility needs so the restaurant can prepare a comfortable table.
- If the walk feels long, a taxi ride of just a few minutes is quick and reduces exertion.
Early, relaxed dinner at Giada — The Cromwell
A calm dinner with Californian-Italian fare, good lighting, and great service. Early seating avoids crowds and provides a peaceful dining experience.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve an early table (5:00–5:30pm) to avoid busier dinner service and to reduce noise levels.
- Request a table away from the kitchen or entrance; Giada staff are attentive to seating requests for quieter dining.
- Ask for a table with comfortable chairs and easy access to the restroom; inform staff if you need extra time between courses.
Return transfer to Bellagio and evening wind-down
Short ride back to your hotel to rest, enjoy in-room comforts, or take a quiet evening walk in the hotel; the day ends with minimal exertion.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver for a calm drop-off spot near the lobby elevators to minimize steps after dinner.
- If you prefer, request hotel bell staff to escort you from the car to your room, especially if you have luggage or mobility aids.
- Take this final hour to hydrate and use any hotel amenities recommended by staff for a comfortable night (e.g., extra pillows).
Quiet evening rest at the hotel
Relax in your room or a quiet lounge — a low-key end to a comfortable day. Optionally enjoy a short, level walk through the hotel's indoor areas.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep movement minimal; if you plan an evening walk, stick to indoor corridors and well-lit, level areas.
- If you enjoyed the Conservatory in the morning, consider a short revisit in the evening when displays are lit and quieter.
- Ask housekeeping for any additional comforts (blankets, slippers, or a late tea) so you can rest well after the day's activities.
