5 Stops for a Romantic Las Vegas Getaway
Las Vegas may lack the historic palaces of many European cities, but this haven of casinos and endless entertainment still promises places for a quiet romantic rendezvous. Tucked away in a private cove in almost every luxury hotel is a spa waiting to awaken, soothe and restore all the hidden senses of the body.
Whether you are planning to fly or drive, Las Vegas is very easy to get to. There are over
30 airlines flying into Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). Las Vegas is only
270 miles from Los Angeles and
298 miles from Phoenix, a perfect stopover destination for anyone driving from Los Angeles to Phoenix and beyond.
Here are Travelmath’s 5 stops for a romantic Las Vegas getaway:
1. Spa at Aria
The Spa at Aria is open to guests and non-guests. Book an 80-minute couples massage and relax on plush chaise lounges at the co-ed outdoor therapy pool.

It also helps stimulate circulation and eliminate toxins from your body.

4. Cruise down The Strip and take a scenic drive to the Red Rock Canyon
When in Las Vegas do the extraordinary. Rent a classic 60s convertible or an exotic car like a Ferrari and cruise down The Strip and take a scenic drive to the Red Rock Canyon. The Red Rock Canyon is only a half an hour drive from Las Vegas. But take it further and ride on the Red Rock Canyon’s 13-mile Scenic Drive.
The scenic drive passes through desert landscapes, red and buff colored rock formations, sandstone and limestone cliffs that reach elevations of 7,000 feet, according to Bureau of Land Management. The scenic drive opens every day from 6 a.m. to around sunset (sunset changes according to the seasons).
