With more than 40 million annual visitors, Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the USA. The city has changed a lot in the last 20 years, the days of cheap buffets and cheap hotel rooms to lure gamblers are numbered.

When is the best time to travel to Las Vegas?

The best times to travel to Las Vegas are February, March, April and October as the temperatures are pleasant in these months.

Las Vegas, the glittering metropolis in the Nevada desert, is world-famous for its spectacular shows and first-class restaurants. In the evening hours, the city comes to life and offers countless opportunities to make the evening unforgettable. From impressive stage shows to exquisite dining experiences, we'll show you the best must-see spots when the sun goes down and the city lights come on.

Tip 1: Monzu

Start your evening at Monzu, where you can not only enjoy outstanding Italian dishes, but also be entertained by live jazz music. Chef Giovanni Mauro not only impresses in the kitchen, but occasionally also on stage. Perfect for a special dining experience.

Tip 2: Absinthe show at Caesars Palace

Experience an original Vegas show! The Absinthe Show at Caesars Palace was voted the "Number 1 greatest show in Las Vegas history". Here you can expect an extraordinary dining experience with small bites in the front garden, breathtaking show acts and, of course, lots of drinks and champagne.

Tip 3: LPM Restaurant

Enjoy a dinner at LPM Restaurant, which impresses with delicious Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the French Riviera. The concept extends from the branding and ambience to the dishes and drinks. A particular highlight is the "Lettre à Coco" cocktail, which is served with a personal, perfumed letter from Chanel No. 5.

Tip 4: The Vault at the Bellagio

Discover The Vault, a secret bar discreetly located behind the live slot machines on the casino floor of the Bellagio. This former casino host's office has been transformed into a luxurious speakeasy-style lounge, offering one of the most extravagant drinking experiences in Las Vegas. The Vault impresses with an intimate atmosphere, exquisite details and an exquisite selection of spirits, including a Rémy Martin Cognac from the 1930s and a Bacardi Rum from the 1950s. You can access this hidden gem by making an online reservation via the link on The Vaults Instagram.

Tip 5: Bellagio Fountain

The Bellagio Fountains are an absolute must-see on any visit to Vegas. This free attraction in front of the Bellagio Resort on the Las Vegas Strip offers a spectacular musical water show in an artificial lake. With 1,214 water fountains and 4,792 lights, the water jets reach heights of up to 140 meters. Sometimes stages are set up on the lake to host events such as musical performances that integrate the fountain show.

Las Vegas in the evening offers countless opportunities for unforgettable experiences. From impressive shows to exclusive dinner venues, these tips will ensure magical nights in the City of Lights.

Book tip: Forgotten Heroines

Women Who Make History

History is often a matter of perspective. Forgotten Heroines by Stefanie von Wietersheim shifts precisely this perspective – calmly, thoroughly and with great narrative power. The book brings together portraits of women who were pioneers, visionaries and trailblazers, yet whose achievements are scarcely embedded in the collective memory. Not because they were insignificant, but because history has long been told selectively.

Stefanie von Wietersheim traces the life stories of these women with journalistic precision and narrative depth. She tells the story of Hedy Lamarr, who was not only a film icon but also played a part in developing the technology on which today’s Bluetooth connections are based. She also profiles political figures, social pioneers and creative minds from the worlds of art, fashion and advertising – such as the woman who coined the legendary slogan ‘I love New York’ and thereby redefined city marketing.

Book tip: A Guest in Rome

Discovering the flavours of the city

The best way to discover Rome is through its food. A Guest in Rome is less a traditional cookbook than a culinary stroll through the city – guided by Stefan Maiwald and brought to life visually by Andrea Di Lorenzo. Between antipasti and dolci, Roman cuisine unfolds as a living culture: authentic, unpretentious and deeply rooted.

Alongside iconic recipes such as cacio e pepe, carciofi alla romana and saltimbocca, the book opens doors to hidden trattorias, markets and cafés that lie far off the beaten track. Anecdotes, historical context and precise insider tips make it clear why food in Rome is always about identity too. A book that combines travel and cuisine – and inspires you to experience Rome with all your senses, whether you’re there or at home.
