Vegas is open at 35% dining, casinos and shows.  Many of the big shows are still closed.  50% indoors on March 15, 2021.

Check the weather and bring warm clothes for outdoor dining.  Right now most resorts are celebrating Chinese New Year, Year of the OX and you should all visit the beautiful Conservatory at Bellagio https://bellagio.mgmresorts.com/en/entertainment/conservatory-botanical-garden.html?ecid=GMB_BE. There is a line but it is so worth it.
My other favorites that you should see – Circa Resort and the Stadium Swim Pools in downtown Vegas and all of Fremont Street – https://vegasexperience.com. Circa has multiple pools, the world’s largest bar, and a great sports book.  It is only 21 or older.Carry your drivers license and masks for every casino.  They take your temperature at many of the casinos.On the strip I like Cosmopolitan, The Wynne, the newly remodeled Mirage Resort and Ceasars Palace for shopping and lunch (Water Grill, The Palm, Gordon Ramsays, Joe’s Seafood, Carmines, True Foods, Vanderpump) https://www.caesars.com/caesars-palace/things-to-do. For non casino hotels there is a Four Seasons https://www.fourseasons.com/lasvegas and Vdara https://vdara.mgmresorts.com
For outdoor dining on the strip I like the places at Fashion Show Mall – there are some good restaurants – Ra Sushi – I know the manager Jonathan – El Segundo Sol has great margaritas – Indoors at the Fashion Show Mall they have The Capital Grille – and Mangiamos for Italian.
Other good places on the strip: The Eiffel Tower restaurant in Paris, Bouchon in the Venetian, Prime Steakhouse in Bellagio with a view of the fountains.  Mon Ami Gabi (great French steak and salmon) is across the street in Paris, also with great fountain views. Lago is in the Bellagio and has great fountain views but not such great food.
The best restaurants off the strip are Pieros (classic Italian old style Vegas), The Golden Steer (Steaks), Ferraros for Italian, and the Italian American Club (not private anymore.)

 The Strat has rides https://thestrat.com. Super scary bungee jumping, very high up – best happy hour in town at Sky Pod and Top of the World has great steaks rotating over Vegas.
For activities:

The Mob Museum is very fun, you have to experience the speakeasy and learn how to shoot like a cop https://themobmuseum.org
Area15 https://area15.com Is a new, hip venue – better for young people but lots of activities and bars.

Red Rock for Hiking but you must have a reservation https://www.redrockcanyonlv.org
Most out of towners dress casual and jeans/no jackets are ok.  However, we women always dress up with lots of bling and the guys wear a Robert Graham shirt or jacket with jeans for the fun of it https://www.simon.com/mall/the-forum-shops-at-caesars-palace/stores/robert-graham
Bring cash for TIPPING because the waiters, valets, etc. all pay taxes on their tips and love cash. Slot machines only take cash. It helps for good service to have cash.
