I went to Las Vegas, and there are a few things I would and wouldn’t do again.
I enjoyed my meals at The Bedford by Martha Stewart and Brasserie B by Bobby Flay.

Las Vegas has been on my bucket list for years, so this past spring, I decided it was finally time to make the trip.

This tourist-heavy destination, also known by the nickname Sin City, draws a large crowd for its casinos and entertainment — the city saw nearly 3.4 million visitors just this past August alone.

My mom has visited Las Vegas many times — she even got married there — so I’d heard a lot about the city from her. Plus, from seeing Las Vegas in movies and TV shows, it always looked like a unique, exciting place.

Although I felt like I saw a lot over my 72 hours in Las Vegas, I only scratched the surface. Here are three things I’d do again and two things I’d skip if I went to Las Vegas again.

I’d never pay for a gondola ride at The Venetian.

I initially wanted to go on a gondola ride at The Venetian but decided against it when I saw the price. I couldn’t justify spending over $30 on a 14-minute ride and probably wouldn’t splurge on this attraction in the future, either.

However, I enjoyed people-watching, wandering the resort’s shops, and taking in the hotel’s Italian-inspired design.

The hotel’s vibe made me want to book a trip to Italy, and I loved how magical it felt to be by the water listening to the gondoliers sing.
