Free to run, and you keep editing after. Add who's coming or a pace like “slow mornings” to shape the result.
Las Vegas at a glance
Most trips run 3 to 4 days. This page covers the 4 stops worth anchoring a plan around, 3 neighborhoods to base yourself in, and what the timing looks like across the year — then you can turn any of it into a mapped Las Vegas itinerary you can edit and share.
- How long
- 3–4 days
- When to go
- March to May and September to November sit in the seventies and eighties. July highs regularly clear 105°F, which pushes everything to pools and indoor hours.
- Getting around
- Rideshare between resorts, walk within a cluster. The Strip is about four miles end to end, so crossing it on foot in summer heat is a bad plan. A car is only worth it for Red Rock or Hoover Dam.
What to build the plan around
- 1
The Strip
Walk the stretch from the Bellagio to the Cosmopolitan once at night. Distances between casinos are longer than they look.
- 2
Bellagio Fountains
Shows run every 15 to 30 minutes into the evening; the view from the Cosmopolitan's terrace is better than the sidewalk.
- 3
Fremont Street
Downtown, cheaper, and a different crowd. Worth one evening away from the Strip.
- 4
Red Rock Canyon
Twenty minutes west for a scenic loop drive and short hikes. The morning-after fix.
Where to stay in Las Vegas
- Mid-Strip
- Between the Bellagio and the Venetian, which puts most dinners and clubs within a walk.
- Downtown / Fremont East
- Lower room rates and a bar scene that runs on its own steam. Rideshare to the Strip.
- Summerlin
- Quiet base near Red Rock for a group that wants a pool and a car.
