Encore Beach Club: With daybeds and private cabanas that you and your better half can book in advance, this day and nightclub at the Wynn is a popular spot for young and social partygoers who want to see big-name DJs. With world-renowned names like David Guetta and the Chainsmokers making appearances, you can only imagine the electric poolside atmosphere.

Stadium Swim: If you and your loved one are sports-obsessed, be sure to spend a day frequenting the swim-up bars and relaxing by the pool at Stadium Swim & Beach Club at the Circa Resort & Casino. The 40-foot HD screen regularly plays sports matches, before DJs turn up the atmosphere into party mode.

Taking over the Mojave Desert in the first week of October, the Rise Festival boasts the claim to fame of being the largest Sky Lantern release in the world.

Oozing romance, the event invites guests to write aspirational messages (or vows) on paper lanterns before releasing them into the sky.

The result? A stunning display of thousands of lanterns floating in unison — the ultimate symbol of love, unity, and positive energy.

Throw in live entertainment, gourmet food, and immersive art spaces, and it’s not hard to see why this festival is so cherished.

Forget about family-oriented Circus Circus and budget-savvy Golden Nugget; for the real romantics, you want a hotel full of spa facilities, intimate restaurants, lounges and bars, and great city views.

With those criteria in mind, the Caesars Palace boasts some of the most modern rooms with amazing cityscape vistas; the Bellagio, with its dancing fountains, is sure to liven up the mood; the Venetian will transport you to arguably the most romantic nation on Earth (Italy), and if it doesn’t, then Paris Las Vegas will do exactly that (with its Eiffel Tower dinner experience to boot).

Or, if it’s pampering you’re after, it’s hard to go past the Waldorf Astoria.
