Happy Hour is the best time to visit, and they have it daily from 3 pm to 6 pm.

LaTeisha's Tip

They start to get busy around 9:30 am. Make sure you say hello to Donna the hostess; she is the best! My favorite is the Heath Evans which is crispy bacon or sausage & melted American cheese on a glazed Pinkbox DoughCro® (half doughnut, half croissant) stacked with two fried eggs & a hash brown cake.

LaTeisha's Tip

This is a speakeasy so look for the hidden door inside Block 16 by the exit sign with a donkey! It’s quaint but packs a bold punch of experience. Try a tequila flight or enjoy the truffle nachos, my favorite! They do not take reservations and the space is small but so worth the wait. Head here after you dine at STK.

LaTeisha's Tip

If you love vintage Vegas, you'll love Barry's. This steakhouse sets the mood and gives a vibe of the 50s and 60s with its timeless appeal. Request a booth for a romantic celebration dinner. Make your reservations in advance. It can be tough getting in here on a whim.

LaTeisha's Tip

If you are visiting through the week, they offer lunch specials from 11 am-3 pm and happy hour from 3 pm-6 pm. The short rib fried rice and 3 color curry are among my favorite dishes. Add this onto Fremont Street experience and Slotzilla.

LaTeisha's Tip

Service is quick here so there won’t be much of a delay from the time you order until the time you have your food in front of you. If you are into seafood, I highly suggest lobster and noodles. They are open almost 24 hours, but the best time to go is after a night out in the early hours of the morning!

LaTeisha's Tip

Vanderpump is perfect for light bites before an evening out or just cocktails before a dining reservation. Shoot for 6-8 pm, depending on how you have the evening planned. This bar does not accept reservations, so arrive at least 30 minutes early to place your name on the waitlist. This is a place where you will want to take photos, so grab your camera and your best outfit!

LaTeisha's Tip

They offer shareable plates and classic dishes with an urban twist. You will find their famous red velvet fried chicken and waffles at brunch on Saturday and Sunday, while the DJ rocks the house. If lunch, brunch, or dinner doesn’t fit into your schedule, then there’s Therapy After Dark when the restaurant shifts into a lounge area that serves late night bites until 2 am. I would make reservations for brunch hours as it can get busy. Brunch is my favorite time to visit outside of Therapy After Dark. Pair this with Container Park, you can walk!

LaTeisha's Tip

My favorite dog is the DUI dog; It’s like eating a taco and a hotdog. This location has a bar to help keep your party going! Keep in mind there is no seating area.

LaTeisha's Tip

Great for groups because each person can eat somewhere different, but all in the same place. For a celebration, dine at Toscana Ristorante & Bar by Eataly for a fine dining experience.

LaTeisha's Tip

I suggest going before 11 am or after 4 pm to minimize being in crowds. That way, you get the full experience. They offer on-site parking that's $8 for the first four hours, with an additional rate after that. I would opt for the scavenger hunt with my friends and place a friendly wager on it to get in the Mob spirit! You can also save $10 on admission if you book a time slot between 9 and 11 am or after 5 p.m. Pair this with Eureka! on Fremont East!

LaTeisha's Tip

There are two shows nightly and it's dark two days a week. Check ahead of time in case they are not showing on the night you want. For the MJ lovers, look into the VIP experience package.

LaTeisha's Tip

The Vegas Views flight is between 12-15 minutes and will leave a lifetime impression! Don’t forget to bring a camera to record and take pictures, but no flash photography. When using a cellphone, it will have to be put into airplane mode.

LaTeisha's Tip

The park is 21+ after 9 pm and is open until 11 pm daily. You can catch the Praying Mantis fire show, complete with a drum circle, that starts at sunset and goes until 10 pm on weekdays and 1 am on the weekends. I usually visit Container Park after 9 pm and enjoy the adult side of things. There’s nothing like being a kid again in the play area with your friends while enjoying the live entertainment. You can add to the art of Downtown Las Vegas by bringing a lock for the Love Lock Sculpture in front of the park, which represents the city’s thoughts and prayers.

LaTeisha's Tip

There are three levels of fun and entertainment with standalone bars and a pool. You can have up to six people in a bay and play. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes, but if you choose to keep it dressy, that’s fine too. I may have golfed a time or two in heels. They have a full menu, so plan to enjoy the really good food too!

LaTeisha's Tip

The line for pictures can get long depending on the time of day you visit. I suggest early morning times to cut down the wait time. The wait time can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Just remember, if you opt to take a picture with an Elvis impersonator or a Showgirl that’s present, they will expect a tip.

LaTeisha's Tip

You can experience the zip line two ways: Zip Zilla, which is your traditional zip line experience where you are harnessed into a sitting position and zip across the FSE at 77ft, or if you are more of a thrill seeker, you can opt-in for the Zoomline and fly down the FSE like superman at 114ft about the FSE. Purchase your tickets online to avoid having to wait in two lines or the possibility of it selling out. Walk-ups are still welcome, but you may be limited on time availability. Flip-flops are not allowed, but they attach a bag to you for your personal items.

LaTeisha's Tip

It’s good to explore Fremont during the day, but even better to watch it come alive at night. Explore some of the casinos, especially in the hotter months, to give you a break from the heat and allow you to see things like the shark tank pool at the Golden Nugget. Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking.

LaTeisha's Tip

When you are in the pod, make sure you take in all the views by walking around the post. You can take in the whole city from the top of the observation deck, so don't forget your camera! They can host weddings and vow renewals if you are in town celebrating! Stop at In-N-Out afterward.

LaTeisha's Tip

During the week and late at night there are the least number of visitors if you aren’t into crowds. You can take some of the dreamiest Instagram photos here! I’ve even brought a change of clothes for photos. The garden is open 24/7 so no reservation is needed. There are a few times a year that the garden has dark dates; this is when they change installations for the next season. Another must for a first-time visit, right on the property, are the Bellagio Fountains, so be sure to head there after!

LaTeisha's Tip

The complex itself is enough to explore without feeling the need to purchase an experience. You can reserve free general admissions tickets online. I prefer going after 10 pm to avoid having to watch out for the little ones.

LaTeisha's Tip

Don’t forget your camera for some Instagrammable moments! There is a free cell phone audio tour to learn more about the art, artist, and site, so be sure to check that out! Parking is free here, but if you rideshare, make sure the driver is aware that they need to wait on you.

LaTeisha's Tip

Depending on the experience you are looking for they have both indoor and outdoor options. Check weather prior to deciding and I suggest booking online prior to your trip to ensure you get the date and time you desire.

LaTeisha's Tip

If you are going to watch the show out front, which is the best view, go early to find your spot; it will get crowded as the day progresses. Nighttime is the busiest, but also the most beautiful. There are several restaurants where you can have dinner and enjoy the fountain view. Try Spago or Prime! The Fountains go off every 30 minutes, starting around noon until 8 pm, and then swap to every 15 minutes from 8:00 pm until midnight. If the winds are too high the show could be canceled, so plan accordingly.
