Let’s be real: if you’re like us, the last thing you want to do is add more clutter to your home. Seriously, who needs another knickknack gathering dust?
The kind of gift we love instead? Experiences. And what better way to gift someone special than with an entire day of nonstop fun in Las Vegas? It’s the one place where over-the-top is totally normal and a bit of chaos is just part of the charm.
We all know Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world—the ultimate playground packed with endless things to do. And while experiences usually come with a price tag, you don’t have to go broke to give a great gift.
We’ve done some heavy digging and found a treasure trove of sweet deals on Groupon. (This might just be our new go-to for affordable Vegas experiences.)
The perfect day in Vegas can look different for each person, so we’ve packed our gift guide with various activities and attractions tailored for every kind of adventurer.
Las Vegas Experiences To Gift Everyone You Know
For Couples
For couples looking to elevate date night in Vegas, here are some fun ways that help redefine what a dinner date looks like.
Pampas Las Vegas: Lunch/Dinner for Two – If you’re in the mood to feast on Brazilian Churrascaria right on the Strip for an affordable price, this is the deal you’ve gotta snag before showing up. Expect the servers to come around with skewers loaded with every kind of meat you can imagine—and they don’t stop until you say so.
Finger Licking Foodie Tour – This is your VIP ticket to the best bites downtown has to offer! It’s a self-guided tour, so you two can take it at your own pace. You’ll get three signature dishes at each stop, with a virtual guide throwing in cool stories and some hidden gems to check out after you’re done eating.
For The Adventurous Soul
ATV / Quad Ride at Nellis Dunes – Whether you’re flying solo, teaming up with a buddy, or rallying a crew of four, the desert is calling all the adrenaline junkies. Choose from a swift one-hour escapade or go all out with a four-hour adventure.
For Your Wild Besties
Sip, Stroll and Savor: Las Vegas Bar Crawl – Spend your night out on the town on Royal Crawl’s pub crawl, an interactive and modern twist on the traditional bar crawl that includes 5 drinks at 5 different bars. You can choose from one of two locations: Downtown or on The Strip at The LINQ Promenade. This one’s a Best of Las Vegas 2023 Gold Winner!
Bicycle Pub Crawl In Downtown Las Vegas – Traveling to Las Vegas together? This is one that everyone in your group can enjoy! Hop aboard the ultimate party-on-wheels experience and pedal your way through the city on a group-powered cycle, cranking out your favorite tunes on the sound system. Stops include locally famous watering holes and historic hotspots.
For The Kids
Kids love experiences too. Both of these gift ideas are easy on the feet, big on fun, and won’t create any additional clutter in the home.
For a kid-friendly Vegas experience with zero hassle (and zero gas money needed), we love FlyOver. Think of FlyOver like Disneyland’s Soarin’ ride. Kids get to “fly” over iconic landscapes on this indoor flight ride, complete with wind, mist, and scent effects. It’s an adventure without the need for sunscreen, camping gear, or hiking boots!
If they’re in their magic era at the moment, Vegas has some top-notch magic shows that are family-friendly, affordable, and actually good. Underrated shows like Penn & Teller and Mac King’s Comedy Magic mix laughs with illusions, keeping kids wide-eyed (and probably trying to guess the tricks for hours afterward).
For The Teens
Museum of Selfies – Looking to see the world from a whole new perspective? Enjoy hilarious fun at the Museum of Selfies with optical illusions, upside-down rooms, and more. Dive into a shimmering gold bathtub, make waves in an emoji-filled pool, jet-set in a private plane, or flip the world upside down in a gravity-defying room. Bring a camera for this one!
The Official SAW Escape Room – The Official SAW Escape is an immersive, multi-room escape experience that brings to life twisted games inspired by the blockbuster SAW film franchise. If you’re wondering what it’s like… yes, it’s creepy and challenging — just as horror movie lovers like it! By working together to combat their fears and solve puzzles, guests can win their freedom as they traverse the twists and turns of an entire factory of Jigsaw’s games – one of the largest escape experiences in the world.
Other teen favorites include ziplining on Fly LINQ or spending their afternoon in a VR gaming session where they can transport themselves to the jungle, on a haunted elevator, in a racecar, or even to a zombieland filled with the undead.
For Parents
Our parents raised us for years, so we gotta go big on showing them appreciation and love! How about a couples massage, a spa day pass with access to pools, saunas, and relaxation areas, or an evening in the sky on a nighttime helicopter tour of the Strip?
Another go-big-or-go-home experience we love for parents? An epic hot air balloon ride with wine tasting included!
For Seniors
For grandparents, these experiences skip the strenuous activity but still deliver plenty of wow factor.
Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Tour – This scenic walking tour through Antelope Canyon, led by a knowledgeable Navajo guide, lets you ogle at some of the world’s most unique and breathtaking red rock formations and wave-like patterns. Plus, the ride in a luxury coach from the Strip makes it both a relaxing and adventurous trip with views they’ll never forget (and endless photos to show off too).
Marriage Can Be Murder: Murder Mystery Dinner Show – We love recommending this off-the-beaten-path show in Las Vegas! If they’re longtime lovebirds, this murder mystery dinner show is a unique, fun, lighthearted way to celebrate their marriage. They’ll enjoy a night of dining, laughing, and sleuthing as they work with an over-the-top detective duo to solve a hilarious crime.
