Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a great location to go if you want to have some fun with your friends. Families are welcomed but, the city isn't always kid-friendly. There are still a lot of activities that you can do on the strip or off the strip. I created a list of activities and restaurants I enjoyed visiting in Las Vegas.
Recommendations for Las Vegas
I suggest planning your Vegas trip in the spring months or May. During the summer, it is hot and humid. I asked the locals about the weather and they said that July is the hottest month and during the winter it gets really cold. I went in July where it was over 100° every morning but around 70° at night.

I suggest starting your trip at the Arya, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, or MGM Grand. These places are known to be more expensive, but you will enjoy your stay in Vegas more. Some cheaper options would be the Flamingo, Planet Hollywood, and New York New York. My favorite hotel on the strip is the Bellagio since it offers a luxurious experience with shops and restaurants nearby. An alternative hotel is the Flamingo which is also close to many activities and restaurants.

Activities and Restaurants
At list of some of the places I visited and what they have to offer.
Momofuku
This Asian fusion restaurant offers a variety of great foods such as Ramen, Pork Buns, Fluke Kinilaw, etc. I tried their spicy pork ramen and was happy that I picked it. It had an smooth flavor of pork and had a good amount of spice.
Hello Kitty Cafe
A cute cafe that had some mediocre food and drinks. I love Hello Kitty, so I wanted to try it out. This was ok but
Gordon Ramsey Fish and Chips
This place was not bad but it defineitly was not the best food I ever had. I wanted some fried fish so I decided to try it.
The Shops at Crystal
Walking around and exploring the mall was great to do. The entire mall has a lot of great decorations. It had a lot of well known luxury stores that you could shop at. This mall connects to a bridge on both sides that go to either the Cosmopolitan or the Arya.
Botanical Garden in Bellagio
This was a great family friendly event that took place in the Bellagio. A lot of cool artwork that was created utilizing plants. A lot of people visit this location so there is a chance it can get really crowded. Overall, this was one of my favorite places to see because of how beautiful it looks.
Outlet Mall
This outlet has a lot of different shops and restaurants to try. I would recommend not coming in July when it is over 100°F. I went to try the churros at Olé Churros Las Vegas and I thought they were okay. It only tastes great on the first day and the next day they were not that great.
