Love it or hate it, Pumpkin Spice is officially back in season, but in Las Vegas that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to Summer. Our hot summers also mean warmer winters compared to other areas of the country, allowing you more time to savor summer in the desert. From kayaking to off-road excursions to food tours and escape rooms, Las Vegas Territory offers plenty of reasons not to pack away your shorts and sandals just yet!
We’ve rounded up a list of top five ways to extend your summer fun in Las Vegas. Here’s how to keep the summer spirit alive in the Entertainment Capital of the World!
Make Way FORE Fun!
Las Vegas and the surrounding cities are known as home to some amazing championship golf courses. But when you want to let loose and get your party on while practicing your swing, there’s Atomic Golf, the latest golf entertainment complex in Las Vegas. Here you can get untucked, and get loud playing a game built to be quiet. Atomic Golf fuses high-tech driving ranges, electronic targets, and interactive games with great food, colorful drinks and an engaging atmosphere. It’s time to enjoy the best elements of the game without all the walking or driving a golf cart. Book your bay*.
Daytime, Nighttime, Anytime goes… Hop on the bus!
Las Vegas is the launching point for touring some nearby landmarks, and what better way to do that than by bus! National Park Express offers tours from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Antelope Canyon and Hoover Dam. Take any of these tours by day, then by night, use Discreet Transportation for the ultimate party bus adventure! Whether you’re looking for a luxurious ride to your nighttime destination, or just want to tour the city via the ultimate party bus, they have you covered!
Head out OFF the highway
Get up close and personal with Southern Nevada’s majestic desert landscapes by taking a tour with one of our partners in off-road adventures. In the nearby town of Jean, you can ride an ATV to your heart’s content with guided and unguided tours from Vegas Off Road Tours (left). Afterwards, be sure to grab lunch at Pioneer Saloon! For the ultimate adventure, check out Sun Buggy Fun Rentals and Tours’ (center) world famous Baja Chase which encourages you to “drive it like you stole it” on their intense and insanely fun course. Meanwhile, a trip to the ghost town of Nelson, NV with Awesome Adventures (right) will get your adrenaline pumping. Their ATV/RZR Gold Mine Adventure Tour will have you exploring the Eldorado Canyon and Techatticup Mine as you off-road through the desert landscape.
Savor Good Flavors
For the more urban palate explorer, savor the good flavors Las Vegas’ culinary scene has to offer. Whether you’re touring the Strip or Arts District, exploring brunch or Vegas’ finest steakhouses, our friends at Lip Smacking Foodie Tours offer several tours for every palate and budget.
Prefer to explore on your own? A walk down the Las Vegas Strip might find you ending up getting some mouth-watering BBQ at Virgil’s at the LINQ Promenade, or stripside at the Hard Rock Cafe, where depending on the day you may just also catch some live music.
By air or by water, get a whole new perspective…
Exploring Las Vegas from above or on the water offers two exhilarating perspectives of this iconic city and its stunning surroundings. Soar the neon skies with 5 Star Helicopter Tours, providing a bird’s-eye view of the dazzling Las Vegas Strip, allowing you to see the famous landmarks, neon lights, and impressive architecture from a whole new angle. For those who prefer a more grounded adventure, Evolution Expeditions’ kayak tours are a serene yet thrilling way to navigate the waters of the Colorado River and Hoover Dam. Paddling through the tranquil canyons and discovering hidden coves, hot springs, and unique rock formations gives you an intimate experience of the desert’s natural beauty. Whether by air or water, both adventures provide unforgettable ways to uncover the diverse magic of Las Vegas and its surroundings.
Look ma, no kids!
For those days or nights when you need to just get away, Nanny’s & Granny’s has you covered with childcare so you can explore the city. All sitters come with full background, credit & health checks, CPR and first aid training, plus a resume for the family. They can come to your hotel room or take the kids off-property for their own age-appropriate adventure. They also bring books, a play pack, age-appropriate games and toys plus a Nanny’s & Granny’s t-shirt for your child or special gift.
