Oh what to do, what to do.
Cupid's favorite day has rolled around and you and your
sweetie are stuck on how to share the most romantic date
of the year. Well, don't fret – we've gathered some ideas
to help you out. So whether you're surfing the Net trying
to chart out the ideal celebration, or you and your honey
are reading this together in bed (Wait, why are you reading
in your bed? But I digress...), take a moment to thumb
through these pages for some great ideas on how to spend
a fabulous Feb. 14.
But remember, these are just suggestions. The Strip has
hundreds of more options to experience, so get creative
and have fun planning your itinerary.
The "we want to experience
the classic Vegas vacation" couple
Stop by the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and have another visitor
snap the perfect mantelpiece picture of you and your honey. Head
on down to Fremont Street for $1 food specials, beer in a football
and a VivaVision show. Speaking of shows, join the Bally's Jubilee!
showgirls for a night of vintage entertainment. And nothing says
kickin' it old-school Vegas more than grabbing a great steak at the
Circus Circus Steakhouse. Winding down, head over to Bellagio's
Fontana Lounge for some cocktails on the patio and spectacular
views of the fountain show.
The "we're naughty and ain't ashamed of it" couple
Take a short drive off -Strip to the sexual and insightful Erotic Heritage Museum and
then take Tropicana Avenue to Déjà Vu Adult Emporium to pick up some toys. To
stimulate that libido, head over to Dos Caminos at The Palazzo to enjoy their specially
themed aphrodisiac menu and then attend one of Vegas' adults-only sexy revues.
Head to Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and stop by Frederick's of Hollywood
to pick up the perfect sexy outfit – next stop, your room. Need I mention those
pay-per-view movies?
The "let's really pump up
the romance this Valentine's Day" couple
It's always romantic to have breakfast in bed, so splurge by ordering room service. Book the
Loving Luxury spa treatment at Drift Spa and Hammam at Palms Place, where couples share
private bath time together before receiving side-by-side massages. Enjoy a light lunch, Parisian-style,
on the patio of Mon Ami Gabi at Paris. Intimate and incredible are two words to describe
your dinner at Strip House at Planet Hollywood Resort, where an exclusive Valentine's Day menu
features treats such as classic oysters Rockefeller. End your evening at Level 107 Lounge at
Stratosphere, as intimate nooks and low lighting provide the perfect romantic escape.
The "we like the Strip but want
to spend time away from it, too" couple
Just a short drive from the Strip lies Lake Las Vegas, where romance
is definitely in the air. Take a romantic gondola ride on the lake or strap
on some ice skates and grab your honey's hand as you glide across the
floating ice rink. For some dessert delights, check out Ethel's Chocolate
Factory, where the cactus garden is transformed into Lover's Lane,
complete with romantically lit walkways. For a French dinner, make a
reservation at Marché Bacchus, a Summerlin lakeside gem of a
restaurant, a world away from the bright lights of the Strip.
The "we're wacky, we're fun and
we miss our college days" couple
Live it up with the stars and take oodles of pictures at Madame Tussauds at
The Venetian, then try Dick's Last Resort at Excalibur for a very politically
incorrect lunch. For laughs, check out Carrot Top's outrageous prop comedy
celebration at Luxor. Now, I definitely know drinks and a rowdy good time are
on the top of this couple's list, so run over to McFadden's at Rio where the
vibe of college craze days is still alive, well and intoxicating.
The "we like adventure and are ready for the extreme" couple
Head out to Boulder City and take the extreme to new heights by making that jump with Skydive Las
Vegas. If being behind the wheel is more your type of adventure, check out Exotics Racing for high-end,
fast-driving fun in cars like the Aston Martin and Ferrari. If steel turns the adventurous couple on, try
firing off some rounds at The Gun Store. For sustenance, let your palate be adventurous, too, with the
only Thai restaurant on the Strip, Lemongrass at Aria. Next, it's time to test those kidney abilities by
guzzling down the 48-ounce Smokin' Hot Ace cocktail at Smokin' Hot Aces at The Venetian.
The "damn, we're hot, fashionable,
hip and happening" couple
Have an A-list brunch at Simon at Palms Place, where Vegas' elite like to hobnob
over eggs, and then head over to Crystals at CityCenter, the mothership of all shopping
centers, which houses Tiff any's, the perfect place to visit on Valentine's Day.
To make sure you and your sweetie look nothing short of phenomenal before you
hit the town, schedule some treatments at Color – A Salon by Michael Boychuck at
Caesars Palace. For the hipster dinner scene, secure a booth at N9ne Steakhouse
at Palms. The perfect place for you to play is the newly opened, appropriately
named Vanity at Hard Rock Hotel, a club that caters to your every vain whim.
