The \u2018essential travel only\u2019 ban was quietly lifted and the land border to the US is opening next week (November 8, 2021). International flights<\/a> are starting to fill up and the world is slowly beginning to move. Yes folks – people are starting to travel again! And because children are not yet vaccinated, you have the perfect excuse for a parents-only romantic getaway.<\/p>\n

Most people do not think of Las Vegas as a romantic getaway but with mandatory indoor masking and other strict COVID-19 protocols coupled with super romantic experiences, Vegas is a great destination for lovers.<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Romantic Dinner<\/h2>\n

Vegas does everything with unbridled excess and food here is no exception. Las Vegas is full of award-winning restaurants from internationally renowned chefs. Both on and off the strip, resorts house everything from Michelin starred Asian fusion to exceptional 24-hour burger joints. Whether you are looking for French cuisine atop a sparkling Eiffel Tower or succulent sashimi next to an idyllic man-made waterfall, the romance oozes through the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

A Venice-Style Gondola Ride<\/h2>\n

\"Romantic<\/p>\n

When you look up European romance in the dictionary, the image of a couple on a decadent gondola while a punter serenades them with Italian arias is right there. For those unable to make it to Venice (which needs a break from over-tourism, if we are honest), The Venetian<\/a> in Vegas is the best option. The indoor option of this gondola ride is under a perfectly painted sky at dusk, gliding guests up and down a canal, under bridges and alongside cobbled European streets. A punter regales you with angelic songs, up tempo Italian folk songs and operatic arias with such strength and beauty, it will make you swoon.<\/p>\n

A Journey To Old Vegas<\/h2>\n

Off of the famed strip is old Vegas, home to original casinos like The Golden Nugget<\/a>. Pedestrian- only cobbled streets host buskers, magicians, live music and open-air bars where mixologists flair. Unique restaurant patios open up onto Freemont Street, the main avenue, leading to Container City, an exclusive venue created from old shipping containers. Freemont Street<\/a> feels almost European with a slightly over-the-top yet distinctly Las Vegas sparkle.<\/p>\n

Take in the Old Vegas magic from the sky on the SlotZilla Zipline<\/a>. You and your partner can fly side by side from one end of the long street to the other. Hearts pumping, adrenaline flowing, the thrill is a fabulous aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n

Helicopter Ride Over The Grand Canyon<\/h2>\n

A \u2018once-in-a-lifetime\u2019 experience, a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon will give you breath-taking views unlike you\u2019ve ever seen before. Whether you\u2019re looking for a private sunset tour through the reds and oranges of 1.7-million-year-old rock, a sweeping tour of Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, or a champagne toast on the floor of the Grand Canyon, there are many options for creating an exclusive, ultra-romantic experience. Love is always in the air here.<\/p>\n
