No matter what your game is, Vegas has something for you. Poker, Blackjack, slot machines, you name it, and Sin City is ready to play. You’ve got to play to win, so bet as little or as much as you like. Sports fan? January is the perfect time for football fans to visit the city. Bring your Fantasy Football knowledge with you because it’s NFL playoff season. Put your money on the sportsbooks, and win big when your team scores. Don’t limit yourself to the casino at your hotel. Stroll down the strip, and try your luck all over in countless hotels. You never know, you might be one pull away from instant retirement. #ChaChing

Relax and Refresh like a High Roller

Caesars Palace

We all feel defeated in 2020. Let’s flip the narrative, and start the new year feeling victorious and refreshed. One perk of visiting Vegas in January is that you can book luxuriously royal suites for practically nothing. With Winter being one of Vegas’s slowest months, hotels have dropped their rates and offer complimentary upgrades in order to attract tourists. Take advantage, and book the suite you’ve always dreamed of. In Vegas, you really can’t go wrong with any hotel choice. From The Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and The Venetian (just to name a few) you’ll be treated like royalty, because this city is all about hospitality. Browse hotels, pick a good fit, and be treated like the boss you are.

Go Out With a Bang

For my thrill seekers, this is for you. Literally, soar into 2021. If you’re brave enough, check out this daring attraction on Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas. Slotzilla is an 11-story slot machine zip line attraction that lets you fly over three city blocks or take off like a rocket over five city blocks, under a massive video screen. This is an adrenaline rush like one you’ve never felt before. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but neither is this next place.

Heart Attack Grill

Before you leave Fremont Street, visit Vegas’ most controversially oddity, the Heart Attack Grill. This unique restaurant has an unheard of promotion. If you weigh over 350 pounds, you receive unlimited free food. Those who dare are invited to weigh themselves at the door on an electronic cattle scale in front of a cheering crowd. In addition, guests are referred to as patients, and their menu items are listed as, “Single Bypass, Double Bypass, Triple Bypass” burgers, etc. Their Quadruple Bypass burger has been listed by the Guinness Book of World Records for the most calorific burger with a calorie content of 9,983 calories! If you had any calories left with this trip in Vegas, the Heart Attack Grill just devoured them. Don’t forget to snap a pic for #foodstagram. Say cheese(burgers!)
