In case you needed another reason to plan a trip to Las Vegas, a new study from Travel Lens has found that Las Vegas is the fifth most romantic city in America.
The study looked at several factors, including the number of fine dining restaurants, couples activities, romantic hotels, and searches for date ideas. So whether you’re planning a weekend getaway with your significant other or looking for a place to pop the question, you might want to consider Sin City.
What Exactly Makes Vegas So Romantic?
Of course, one of the main reasons why Las Vegas is such a popular destination for couples is because of the myriad of things to do. Whether you want to see a Cirque du Soleil show on the strip, gamble your heart out at one of the numerous casinos in town, or take a luxurious gondola ride through The Venetian, there’s truly something for everyone and every couple. The dating game is never boring here, even for locals who have “done it all.” There’s always a new sight or attraction to explore here.
And let’s not forget about the food! With world-renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsey and Wolfgang Puck calling Las Vegas home, you can be sure that you’ll find some amazing fine dining options. From delicious breakfast and brunch eateries to a plethora of unique dessert spots, Vegas offers the perfect variety of options for all meals, ensuring that each couple experiences their absolute favorites. As they say… The way to their heart is through their stomach!
There are also plenty of romantic hotels to choose from if you’re looking for a place to stay. If you want something with a view, the Eiffel Tower Suite at Paris Las Vegas overlooks the entire city. Or if you’re looking for something a little more low-key (but no less luxurious), try Caesars Palace’s Garden of Gods Pool Oasis, where you can lounge in one of seven different pools surrounded by Roman sculptures. No matter what your taste, there’s sure to be a hotel in Las Vegas that’s perfect for you and your special someone.
