About

About ULTIMATE Las Vegas City Guide

ULTIMATE Las Vegas City Guide is an independent guide for visitors to Las Vegas, Nevada. We publish 18 curated lists: restaurants, cafés, bars & lounges, nightlife & dayclubs, hotels, shows, attractions, museums & culture, spas & golf, hospitals & clinics, shopping, supermarkets & pharmacies, cinemas, weddings, luxury lifestyle, motoring, property and getting around. Together they cover the Strip (south, centre and north), downtown and Fremont East, the Arts District, Chinatown, Summerlin and Henderson, and day trips to Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Valley of Fire, the Grand Canyon, Zion, Death Valley and Mount Charleston.

How we choose

Every place in our lists has been checked against the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s official listings and the venue’s own website, or an official source such as the National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation or Nevada State Parks. We don’t use review scores, and we leave out anything we can’t confirm. MICHELIN distinctions are quoted only from the official MICHELIN Guide. Casinos appear only as resorts and venues: we don’t cover gambling.

Before you go

Opening hours, show schedules and seasons change often. Please check directly with each place before you visit. Prices are in US dollars.
