Are you looking for the most interesting and beautiful places in Las Vegas? There are so many photo spots in Las Vegas.Here are 10 worthy places for an Instagram photothat can be done over a 3-day weekend.
In April 2021, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority invited us to visit Las Vegas for 3 days. The last time I flew to Las Vegas in 2016 was straight to Zion National Park. We stopped at the Neon Museum just on the way from Las Vegas.
This time I was excited about exploring Las Vegas. I was so grateful that Visit Las Vegas put together a three day itinerary for us. We included on Instagram locations in Las Vegas that were both on and off the Las Vegas strip. We have also stayed at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas which only opened in March 2021. I liked that the hotel is only one mile from the strip. This made it easier to get in and out for Lyfts and taxis on the strip. Soon you will see a full review of the hotel in the blog!
Here are the 10 most Instagrammable places in Las Vegas
1. WELCOME TO FABULOUS LAS VEGAS.
Address: 5200 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89119.
If you're looking for a classic Las Vegas photo, I highly recommend taking a photo in front of the iconic 1950s neon sign. This tourist attraction is open 24 hours a day. If you want to take a picture without the crowds or line behind you, I recommend going on a weekday morning. Maddie and I went on a Monday morning at 9am. We were lucky and we took photos in between tour buses.
2. CAFE “LOLA”
Address: 4280 S Hualapai Way #109, Las Vegas, NV 89147.
If you're looking for a cute off-street cafe, Café Lola is about a 20-minute walk from the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. This cafe was named the most Instagrammable cafe in Nevada by the Food Network. Maddie actually discovered this place on TikTok!
You will find flower walls, a beautiful flower phone booth, as well as delicious food and unique drinks. Maddie and I stopped here for lunch after the Magic Seven Mountains. We were surprised how busy the cafe is by noon!
3. NEON MUSEUM
Address: 770 Las Vegas Blvd N, Las Vegas, NV 89101.
If you want to visit the Neon Museum, you must pre-book your tickets online. Tickets are limited due to social distancing. The Neon Museum is located just 1 mile from downtown Las Vegas/Fremont Street. I recommend visiting the Neon Museum on the day you plan to explore Fremont Street.
There are more than 200 unrestored signs in the Main Cemetery. You will find signs illuminated by ground lighting during sunset. It should be remembered that the use of professional cameras is NOT allowed in the Neon Museum. We took iPhone photos and checked our cameras and bags after we got through the security line. Masks are required and please remember to continue social distancing during your visit.
Boneyard is available for personal and commercial photo and video shoots.
4. CONSERVATORY AND BOTANICAL GARDEN OF BELLAGIO
Address: 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
Did you know that there is a 14,000 square foot botanical garden inside the Bellagio? Each season, a team of horticulturists and engineers transforms the Botanical Garden with beautiful flower displays and paints. We visited the Bellagio Conservatory and the Botanical Garden during the Spring Festival, which from March 13th – May 22 –th .
The garden changes every season. Summer garden from May 29th – August 28 –th . Harvest September 4thth – November 13 –th . And the holiday of November 20th -January 1-th , 2022.
5. VIEW OF THE EIFFEL TOWER FROM THE BELLAGIO HOTEL AND CASINO.
Address: 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
One of the views that surprised us is the view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Las Vegas, on the way to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. I didn't realize the walk to Bellagio was a bit up the hill. The view of the Eiffel Tower across the Bellagio water was pretty cool. If you are going to see the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden, you can stop and take some pictures of the view behind you.
6. SEVEN MAGIC MOUNTAINS
Address: S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054.
If you're looking for a unique, colorful art installation in the desert, you should check out The Magical Seven Mountains. This exhibit was produced by the Nevada Museum of Art and the Art Production Foundation. The Seven Magic Mountains opened in May 2016 and are scheduled to close at the end of 2021.
You don't need to make reservations, but I recommend renting a car to get to this place. It was about a 20 minute drive from Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and it would have been impossible to call Uber or Lyft from Seven Magic Mountains. Please remember to wear a mask and continue social distancing.
7. BABY BIRDS CAFE
Address: 2910 Lake East Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89117.
Baby Birds Cafe was one of my favorite stops during our Las Vegas weekend. We were originally going to visit Malasadas Jo but didn't know they were closed on Mondays. Maddie was looking for "cute cafes in Las Vegas" and Baby Birds Cafe was top of the list. Luckily it was only 10 minutes from Malasadas Joe.
If you're looking for another Instagram-worthy cafe in Las Vegas, I highly recommend going to Baby Birds Café. This Las Vegas brunch restaurant is open from 9am to 3pm every day. We only took drinks, but the food photos on Google and Yelp look amazing. I highly recommend ordering one of their signature teas.
8. NATIONAL RESERVE "RED ROCK CANYON"
Address: 1000 Scenic Loop Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89161.
The Las Vegas Tourism Board arranged for Maddie and me to take a pink jeep tour through Red Rock Canyon. We went on a 3 hour tour of Red Rock Canyon and were able to enjoy a 13 mile view of the park. I loved stopping in the Calico Hills and seeing the Petroglyph Wall - this is the first time I've seen petroglyphs!
If you want to visit Red Rock Canyon, you can buy a day pass for $15 per vehicle. I recommend visiting the Red Rock Canyon fare page before you hit the road.
9. COSMOPOLITAN
Address: 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
Along with the Bellagio Fountains and the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel, the chandelier at the Cosmopolitan is one of the most recognizable places in Las Vegas. The chandelier is one of the halls of the Cosmopolitan salon.
We didn't end up having a drink at Chandelier's. But we took the photos after we ate at China Pablo. The chandelier was right in front of the restaurant.
10. STEP ROOM AT VIRGIN HOTELS IN LAS VEGAS.
Address: 4455 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89169.
After having lunch at Casa Calavera, we went to the Shag Room for a drink. This intimate space has live music, cool lounges and a groovy vibe. It was so different from other lounges we saw in Las Vegas that I thought it would be fun to add it to the list.
The Shag room is not very well lit - we had to change the camera settings to capture this beautiful space. I highly recommend stopping here for a late night drink if you choose to stay at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
There are so many other interesting places to Instagram in Las Vegas! If we had another day or two to explore, we would stop at the Venetian, Sadelle’s Café inside the Bellagio and other cute cafes off the strip!
