Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival, relaxed afternoon at the Bellagio, romantic dinner with fountain views, and a quiet nightcap.
Hotel check‑in and settle — Bellagio Hotel & Casino
Check in, drop bags, freshen up in your room with time to change for an intimate evening on the Strip.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the front desk for a fountain‑view room when you check in — it’s worth the upgrade for private views from your suite.
- Request a late check‑in note if you arrive early so the room is prioritized after any morning departures.
- Keep a small pouch with evening essentials (camera, light wrap, lip balm) so you can head out quickly for golden hour.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens — gentle stroll
Wander the seasonal floral displays together — intimate, photogenic and peaceful before dinner.
Tips from local experts:
- Visit the Conservatory in the late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds — perfect for couple photos.
- Take a slow loop and note the small plaques describing each arrangement—share what floral detail you each love.
- If mobility is a concern, the paths are level; benches are scattered for quiet sitting moments.
Relax & refresh in your room (break)
Short pause to relax, change into dinner attire, and enjoy a quiet moment together before dinner.
Tips from local experts:
- Use this time for a quick shower together or to put on a favorite playlist — a small ritual that sets a romantic tone.
- If you ordered in, have a tiny pre‑dinner toast in the room to savor privacy before the evening.
- Check your dinner reservation confirmation and request a table by the window if you haven’t already.
Dinner with fountain views at Picasso (fine dining)
A Michelin‑quality, art‑filled evening with views of the Bellagio Fountains — long, unhurried dinner for two.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a window table in advance and mention you’d like a spot to watch the fountain shows — dinners here are very atmospheric.
- Dress smart‑casual to match the dining room’s elegant vibe; savour the tasting menu to make it a special night.
- Ask your server to time a course so you can step outside briefly for a closer fountain moment if you wish.
Bellagio Fountain show — post‑dinner promenade (special moment)
Step outside together to watch the magical fountain choreography — tactile, dramatic and free to enjoy.
Tips from local experts:
- Shows run frequently in the evening; check the schedule with the concierge so you catch a show timed with your dinner.
- Stand a little way back from the crowd to enjoy the full audio‑visual effect and share a quiet embrace.
- Bring a light scarf or jacket; there can be a cool mist from the fountains at close range in spring evenings.
Nightcap at The Chandelier (intimate cocktail lounge)
Finish the night with a cozy, multi‑level lounge known for signature cocktails and a shimmering, intimate atmosphere.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the bartender for a bespoke cocktail for two — small, shared tastes work well for intimate sipping.
- Head to the quieter second level if you prefer a more private corner with soft lighting.
- Reserve or arrive early on weekends to avoid longer waits; mid‑week is pleasantly relaxed.
Day 2
Artsy morning, a scenic afternoon escape to Red Rock Canyon capped by a sunset viewpoint, followed by a restorative couples' spa and romantic dinner.
Morning coffee at Vesta Coffee Roasters
Casual, locally loved roastery in the Arts District — perfect for a slow morning and people‑watching together.
Tips from local experts:
- Order a pour‑over to taste local roasting notes and split a pastry for a cozy start.
- Sit by the window or a communal table to soak in Arts District morning light — great for candid photos.
- If you’re driving later, pick up a to‑go bottle of cold brew for the Red Rock drive.
Stroll the Las Vegas Arts District (local galleries & shops)
Browse independent galleries, boutiques and murals — an unhurried exploration that feels personal and authentic.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan to visit a small gallery together and pick one tiny memento to remember the trip.
- Wear comfortable shoes — the district is best explored on foot and has charming alley murals for photos.
- Stop at a local shop to sample artisanal chocolate or small craft goods for a sweet snack on the road.
Drive to Red Rock Canyon (transfer)
Scenic 30–45 minute drive west to the conservation area — windows down if weather is mild.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light jacket; spring evenings can be cooler in the canyon than on the Strip.
- Create a short playlist for the drive — a shared soundtrack helps set a romantic tone.
- Fuel up on snacks and water at a grocery near the hotel; service options are limited inside the conservation area.
Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive + short hike and picnic (special moment)
Drive the one‑way scenic loop, stop for a short viewpoint hike and enjoy a picnic near a scenic overlook timed for sunset.
Tips from local experts:
- Hike to a short, scenic viewpoint like Calico Tanks or Turtlehead outlook — choose a trail of moderate difficulty you’re both comfortable with.
- Pack a picnic with a blanket, sparkling water or a small bottle of wine (check park rules) and savor golden‑hour views together.
- Bring sturdy shoes and a breathable layer; the desert terrain gets cooler after sun‑down and can be uneven.
Drive back to the Strip (transfer)
Return drive to the hotel, with a pause to freshen up before an evening of pampering and dinner.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect light traffic returning toward sunset; allow extra time so you’re not rushed for your spa appointment.
- If the sun is low, take a scenic route back for soft light photos through Spring Mountains views.
- Stretch your legs before entering the spa; a few deep breaths will transition you into relaxation mode.

An evening couple’s massage and access to Roman baths and relaxation pools — unwind after a sun‑filled day.
Tips from local experts:
- Book a couples massage and arrive 30 minutes early to enjoy the Roman baths together for quiet conversation.
- Ask for aromatherapy that suits both of you (e.g., lavender for relaxation) to extend the pampering.
- Confirm any gender‑separated areas in advance if one of you prefers more privacy in locker rooms.
Late romantic dinner at Eiffel Tower Restaurant — window table
Classic French dining with sweeping views across the Strip; intimate lighting and exceptional service.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve the window seating at sunset when booking — the Strip twinkles as you dine and makes a memorable backdrop.
- Consider ordering a chef’s tasting or sharing plates to keep the evening conversational and intimate.
- Ask for a quiet corner if you want a more private experience away from busier tables.
Day 3
Slow morning with Venetian romance, an afternoon pause, a dusk Neon Museum guided tour, and a sunset High Roller ride to finish with sparkling Strip views.
Brunch at Bouchon Bistro (The Venetian)
Classic French bistro brunch with relaxed service — ideal for lingering conversation and planning the day.
Tips from local experts:
- Share a few dishes family‑style (eggs, pastries) to keep the mood light and intimate.
- Request a table near the windows or quieter side of the dining room for a relaxed brunch vibe.
- If you prefer a later, lazy start, make a reservation to avoid the main brunch rush.
Venetian Gondola ride — private gondola for two
A handcrafted gondola ride along the Grand Canal with a singing gondolier — a timeless, romantic moment.
Tips from local experts:
- Book a private gondola for two to avoid sharing the boat; ask for a serenade if you want a truly romantic touch.
- Morning rides are quieter and cooler; consider sunglasses and a light jacket in spring breezes.
- Bring a small camera and ask the gondolier to take a quick photo of you both on the canal walk afterwards.

Tips from local experts:
- Pick a tiny souvenir together — something small to remind you both of the trip.
- Choose a shaded canal bench for a mid‑afternoon pause and to watch passing gondolas for a relaxed vibe.
- If weather is warm, stop for gelato at a nearby café to share and cool off.
Afternoon rest at the hotel (break)
Unwind in your room or by the pool — take time for an afternoon nap, freshen up, and prepare for an atmospheric evening.
Tips from local experts:
- A short nap can make the evening feel fresh; set a gentle alarm and plan to meet for a late‑afternoon walk.
- Enjoy some quiet music together or share a chapter from a travel memento to reflect on the trip.
- If you’d like photos at dusk, get cameras ready and pick outfits you’ll be comfortable moving in.
Dusk guided tour at The Neon Museum (Neon Boneyard)
A guided, atmospheric tour among historic neon signs as evening lights create a luminous, nostalgic setting.
Tips from local experts:
- Book the dusk guided tour in advance — the lighting is most magical at sunset and tours fill quickly.
- Hold hands while wandering the Boneyard — many signs are head‑height and create intimate nooks for photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the ground is uneven and some areas are dimly lit, so step carefully.
Short transfer to The LINQ promenade
A quick walk or short taxi to the LINQ area to prepare for your sunset High Roller ride — pick a table for a pre‑ride toast.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive early to enjoy a small pre‑ride drink at a quiet spot on the promenade — it helps set a celebratory mood.
- If you’re timing for sunset, ask the concierge for the exact sunset time that day so you pick the ideal ride.
