Day-by-day shape

With 3-5 days, group sights by area so you are not crossing the city each morning. Start in The Strip, give a full day to Downtown, and reserve time for The Las Vegas Strip.

Pacing

Keep one major sight per half day. Check official opening times so you do not arrive at a closed door, and leave buffer for meals and transfers.

Build your own

Use the stay areas and transport pages to set the order. Recheck timed entries the week before you travel, since operators adjust schedules by season.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is 3-5 days enough for Las Vegas?

    3-5 days covers the core sights if you group them by area. Add a day if you want slower mornings or a day trip outside the city.

  • How should I order the days?

    Anchor each day on one neighbourhood: The Strip first, then Downtown. Keep The Las Vegas Strip on a day with light walking afterwards.
