15 ROMANTIC THINGS TO DO FOR COUPLES IN LAS VEGAS
1. Bellagio Fountains
3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
Romantic setting, beautiful music, and water soaring through the air. What more do you need? Plus, this one doesn’t cost you anything.
2. Paris Las Vegas Eiffel Tower
3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
Paris is known as the city of love, but if you can’t make it to France this year, go up the Eiffel Tower right here in Vegas. Although it’s half the size of the real tower, you still get amazing views of the strip from the top. (General Cost: $11.50 for adults; $16.50 from 7:15 p.m. – close)
3. Venetian Gondola Rides
3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
4. High Roller
41 Costa Di Lago, Henderson, NV 89011, map
This observation wheel gives you views of the strip within an enclosed room. You can even rent out an entire room to yourself (Cost: Starting at $25 per adult).
3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
Just 17 miles from the strip, this hidden gem takes you onto a lake with tons of options for your ride. It’s the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas without the fuss of the crowds. You can have drinks, an entire meal, and they even have a special message in a bottle service. Don’t forget to kiss when passing under the Pontes Vecchio bridge. (Cost: Starting at $135 for two guests).
FINE DINING ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP
Is the way to someone’s heart through their stomach? I sure think so.
3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
Joel Robuchon was named chef of the century, and this is a highly decorated restaurant (past Michelin’s Three Star, Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond awards, and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award). We finally went for our anniversary, and it did not disappoint. Also check out L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, which has a more casual atmosphere.
Not going to lie, it’s going to be tough to get reservations here on Valentines Day in Las Vegas.
3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
Located at the Bellagio, Le Cirque has received a AAA Five Diamond rating 13 consecutive years. You can choose between tasting menus or a la carte items.
3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
It’s hard to go wrong at Chef Julian Serrano’s restaurant with options for indoor or outdoor seating, a large wine cellar, and cuisine inspired by France and Spain. Plus, you’re dining among original artwork by Picasso.
3355 S Las Vegas Blvd Tower, 89109 (10th Floor), map
We always love Chef Thomas Keller’s food. So far we haven’t ordered anything we didn’t like.
3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109, map
From French Chef Guy Savoy, this restaurant serves classic dishes that have kept them at the top of everyone’s list.

506 Fremont St, 89101, map
The Park on Fremont offers a cool hang out with a good beer list and delicious food like Garbage Fries and the Philly Mac and Cheese Steak.
1130 S Casino Center Blvd #110, 89104, map
This is one of our favorite places to eat in DTLV. Our favorites are the housemade sourdough bread, little gem caesar, and cacio e pepe.
7780 S Jones Blvd #103, 89139, map
For something comfortable and low key, this tucked away restaurant has a mom-and-pop feel and some of the best katsu we’ve had.
5030 W Spring Mountain Rd #2, 89146, map
For the food lover, this is a must-try restaurant. It’s not low key like the others, but it was one of the best meals we’ve had in Las Vegas so far. The food is tapas style ordering, and you get a chance to try a variety of dishes. I’m not a huge fan of tofu, but the agedashi tofu was a stand out for me.

ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES IN LAS VEGAS FOR COUPLES
Studies show that a good adrenaline rush increases attraction and arousal. Here are some things to get the adrenaline pumping.
- Rock Climbing at Red Rock or if you prefer starting indoors, come by Origin. I actually set routes there once a week!
- Zipline at Bootleg Canyon. There are also shorter ones closer to the strip, but they’re touristy which sometimes takes away from the date experience.
- Drive an Exotic Car at Exotics Racing or if driving isn’t your thing, you can ride with a stunt car driver, which I found to be even more of an adrenaline rush.
