2 days in Las Vegas: itinerary with prices (2026)

Day 1 — The Strip

Afternoon starts with indoor gondola rides at The Venetian, then the Bellagio Fountains and the High Roller observation wheel fill the evening before a walk down the Strip after dark, when the resort signage is lit and easiest to see. Day 1 confirmed entrance fees total $39 per adult — the High Roller prices its ticket tiers by date, so check the official site when you book.

Hoover Dam is a half-day trip best started in the morning, before returning to the city for the Neon Museum in the late afternoon and the Fremont Street Experience's canopy light shows after dark. Day 2 confirmed entrance fees total $40 per adult — Sphere's interior shows are priced by date on the official site, while its exterior Exosphere display is free to view from the Strip.
