Las Vegas may be known for its wild shows, theme parks, and all-night casinos, but there are plenty of things to do for couples looking to enjoy a romantic vacation. The 5-star hotels along the iconic Las Vegas Boulevard are often inspired by romantic European cities, such as Paris and Venice, and you can find recreations of landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower.
If you and your significant other share a love for the outdoors, plan a romantic road trip to the Grand Canyon or Lake Mead. There, you get to enjoy hours of hiking, camping, or simply enjoying breathtaking views of Nevada’s landscape. Whether you’re planning on a first date or celebrating your anniversary, check out our guide to Las Vegas’s most romantic places.

Located 25 miles southeast of The Strip, book a hotel near Lake Mead Recreation Area for a visit packed with volcanic canyons, scenic trails, and natural hot springs overlooking the Colorado River.

The tour typically takes place in the morning so that you can enjoy the best view of this natural wonder. Aside from the Grand Canyon, you also get to see other landmarks from a bird’s-eye view, including the Hoover Dam, Mojave Desert, Lake Mead, and the famous Las Vegas Strip.

Get a couple’s massage
Take some time away from the slot machines and enjoy a relaxing massage with your loved one. Las Vegas’ hotels are often fitted with luxurious spas where you can get couples’ massages, facials, and body treatments during your vacation. For something out of the ordinary, try salt therapy (or halotherapy) at Salt Room LV, which conducts massage treatments in a salt cave. Another popular spa in Las Vegas is NV Float, where you get to float (and relax) inside a sensory deprivation tank.
Get married in true Vegas style
If you (and your beloved) have a flair for the dramatic, getting married in true Vegas style is the way to go. Married couples can also have fun renewing their vows here, with ceremony conductors often dressing up as celebrities, the most famous being Elvis Presley. You’ll be presented with a commemorative marriage certificate holder and a replica of Elvis and Priscilla’s marriage certificate.
