Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in North Las Vegas

"There could hardly be anywhere more romantic in Vegas than a hotel complex dedicated to the Italian city of love. The Palazzo is connected to its more famous neighbor, the Venetian, but swaps the latter’s copycat Italian attractions for a more sophisticated take on European luxury. Marble, glass domes and water features convey a grand palatial air, and lovestruck guests will be equally smitten by the glamorous pool area, all-suite accommodation and one of the largest day spas in the world."

"If you haven’t been to Venice (read ort itinerary here) or just love Gondola rides you can take one at The Venetian. The Venetian did a great job on replicating the canal to look just like Venice. You’ll have the option to ride inside or outside and up to four people can fit on one gondola."

"There aren’t many things more romantic than taking a gondola ride through Venice, Italy. But, when you can’t go to Italy, bring Italy to you!. A ride around the Venetian hotel is $29 a person."

"Home to hundreds of old pinball machines and classic arcade games, the Pinball Hall of Fame can be found just minutes from the Strip. Set right next to the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign, it is a very fun and family friendly place to visit that can keep you entertained for hours. Crammed inside the unique museum are around four hundred pinball games for you to play with the earliest ones dating to the 1940s."

"The Pinball Hall of Fame is a large play space with over 200 pinball and vintage arcade games. This non-profit “museum” has aisles and aisles of fully restored pinball machines from the 1950s to the 1990s and arcade games from the 80s and 90s. Adults can play some of their favorite childhood games while introducing their kids to a whole new set of games that they most likely have never seen before – unless in app form."

"East Valley One of the few Las Vegas attractions left with both free parking and free admission, the Pinball Hall of Fame features more than 150 machines covering 10,000 square feet of space. The games span from 1947 to 2009, each fully restored, maintained, and playable. The older models are 25 cents to play while the newer ones are 50 cents, with a few vintage arcade games thrown into the mix as well."

"Changing with the seasons, Bellagio’s conservatory displays ostentatious floral arrangements, installed by crane through a soaring 50ft-high ceiling. The effect is unnatural, but that doesn't stop crowds from gawking, and the aroma of fresh blooms is enchanting. Peek around the periphery of the conservatory for classic paintings re-created with buds and flowers instead of oil paints."

"JamonJamonTapas has quickly established itself as the go-to restaurant just off the Strip. It’s the most authentic Spanish tapas restaurant you can find for hundreds of miles, and native Spaniards have vouched for it without hesitation. In the warm, inviting atmosphere, take a seat and gaze on the stunning mosaics on the floor while you sip on a breathtakingly delicious Sangria."

"Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum is a unique combination of museum, costume shop, and repository dedicated to fantastic creatures, zombies, and monsters. Owned by special effects makeup artist Tom Devlin, the museum was established to educate the public in the art of makeup effects and features a variety of exciting, odd, and scary items and horror film objects, such as a dinosaur sculpture, a purple hearse, and a zombie Spider-Man. Visitors to the museum are taken on a tour through time with Devlin, who chronicles his passion for creating zombies, and with monsters from his earliest childhood inspirations like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Toxic Crusaders to some famous current modern movie horror characters."

"In-N-Out Burger is a southern California institution, kinda like movie stars, sandy beaches and bad traffic. If you’re an east coaster, stop by In-N-Out Burger at The Linq Promenade and scarf down an iconic “Double-Double” burger or “Animal-Style” fries, free of sand-chaffing and freeway congestion. If you live on the west coast, you’re probably looking for something new. Don’t freak out too much because Jaburritos Sushi Burritos is going to blow you out of the water."

"If you’re in the mood for big plates of home-cooked goodness, drive out to Henderson and visit the Omelet House. Their menu features seasonal favorites like zucchini strips and pumpkin bread, as well as hearty home fries, and of course their world-famous omelets. Locals love it for its low prices while visitors delight in the hometown atmosphere and friendly service."
