Before we look at other hot spots and places to be, the question arises: What does the name Las Vegas actually mean in German? The name Las Vegas comes from Spanish and means “The floodplains” or “The meadows”. The city is the cultural, infrastructural and economic center of Nevada and is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. And that’s precisely why it’s recommended to plan at least 3 days for this city. If you go on excursions or explore exciting places outside of the Strip during the day and don’t hit the Strip until the evening, you won’t be able to see all the hotels and casinos.

Founded by 2020 James Beard Award semi-finalist Nicole Brisson, Brezza Italian at Resorts World Las Vegas offers upscale, modern Italian coastal cuisine that uses seasonal ingredients of the highest quality to tantalize the palate. The restaurant, which has been awarded the "Snail of Approval" by Slow Food, places great emphasis on sustainability and sources local ingredients wherever possible to use the best seasonal produce. Brezza's accolades include the title of "Restaurant of the Year" from the Desert Companion 2022, the "Best New Restaurant" award from the National Restaurant Association and the coveted Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. The homemade pasta and varied desserts are an absolute must!
La Cote is a Mediterranean restaurant in the luxurious Fontainebleau Hotel, located right by the large pool. Here you can enjoy delicious burgers, tacos and wraps in a relaxed but stylish atmosphere. After lunch, the hotel's Oasis Pool Deck invites you to relax - perfect for the high temperatures in Las Vegas. Tip: Rent a private cabana and enjoy refreshing cocktails and fresh fruit.
A trip to a ranch in the Nevada desert should not be missed when in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert, the most famous desert in the USA. Located about 15 miles west of Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon is easily visible from the Strip.
The sprawling and magnificent Spring Mountain Ranch State Park borders the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and has been used as a working ranch and luxury retreat by a number of glamorous owners in the past, including German actress Vera Krupp and millionaire Howard Hughes. Today, visitors can tour some of Nevada's oldest buildings, a blacksmith shop from the 1860s, the Sandstone Cabin where the founding family lived, and the ranch house. Hiking trails through the park and shaded picnic areas with tables and grills make day trips to the park a favorite family outing. In addition, the Super Summer Theater offers a series of outdoor performances each year.
Light wines are not just a summer fad. They are a response to mindful drinking, all-day dining, office lunches, after-work and fine casual concepts – especially from September onwards, when kitchens switch to forest, mushrooms, pumpkin and roots and guests want to enjoy their food more consciously.
Genusspunkt shows how “light” works without losing depth, which service rules ensure sales – and how three specific wines can immediately create curated experiences on the wine list.
An opulent work for hosts, design lovers, and floral enthusiasts. The book contains twelve visually stunning arrangements, DIY ideas, and a clear message: beauty begins at the table. Ideal for hotels, restaurants, and anyone who wants to create a welcoming atmosphere.
