Whatever happens in Vegas
We’re excited to share a few of our favorite places, restaurants, & experiences in the area with you
Best Friend
Best Friend at Park MGM is one of our absolute favorite spots in Vegas! It's LA Korean Mexican fusion. We love this spot for its energy, amazing food, and the memories we’ve made here. We've even spotted Roy Choi here but were too shy and fangirling too hard to say anything. We hope you check it out and love it just as much as we do!
Spring Mountain/ Chinatown
Vegas’s Chinatown is a hidden gem and one of our favorite spots. We are literally here almost every other day grabbing our favs. It's a little off the Strip - mostly all located on Spring Mountain Road. Our favs here are Gabbi Coffee, Curry Zen (Japanese curry), Mr BBQ (Korean BBQ), Hashi Ramen, Airoma Cafe (matcha), Tiger Sugar Boba, Brew Tea Boba, Taco Stand (Mexican randomly lol), Shanghai Plaza (shopping and food), Shabuya (hot pot), Sushi Neko, and The Sand Dollar (a local dive bar with live music every night).
Arts District
If you’re looking for a fun spot to explore that's not the Strip or Fremont Street while you’re in town, we highly recommend the Arts District. It's where our wedding is located and one of our go-to date night hangouts. It's the perfect place to grab a drink, wander into an antique store, and soak up a little of the local flavor. Some of our fav spots here are Velveteen Rabbit (duh), Good Pi, SerVehZah (brewery), 1228 Main, Rebar (dive bar), Antique Alley Mall, Bungalow Coffee, & Cornish Pasty (British).
Stays in Vegas
Here are some of our favorite places to stay in Vegas, whether you’re looking for classic romance, cozy luxury, or a stylish, smoke-free vibe - but stay wherever feels right for you!
Bellagio Resort & Casino
Bellagio will always have a special place in our hearts. It’s where we got engaged and one of Kristi’s favorite places to design events! From the iconic fountains to the breathtaking Conservatory that transforms with every season, it’s pure magic. We also recommend staying here for the wedding if you want to be right in the heart of everything but feel free to choose whatever works best for you!
Park MGM Resort & Casino
Completely smoke-free, has the perfect mix of affordable luxury, and the rooms are super cute and cozy. Plus, it’s home to so many of our favorite restaurants. You could spend a whole weekend here just eating and be totally happy! We also recommend staying here for the wedding if you want a more affordable option but still lux stay. If you choose to stay here, ARIA, or Bellagio - there's a free shuttle that travels quick between the three properties.
Durango Resort & Casino
If you’re looking to stay off the Strip, we recommend Durango Resort. It’s brand new, stylish, and has an incredible lineup of restaurants. Plus, it’s a little more laid-back but still gives you that fun Vegas energy. Durango is in the South West part of Vegas so you will definitely need to arrange transportation to get anywhere from here!
