Las Vegas: The Take Your Chances Edit
The Chance-Taker’s Guide to the City of Lights
Nestled in the middle of the high desert, surrounded by stark, wild-west mountains, Las Vegas is one of the world’s most surreal, eclectic, and adventurous cities, inspiring those who walk beneath its city lights to roll the dice and take their chances on just about everything.
From indulging in unexpected cuisines, to breaking boundaries amidst vibrant dance floors, or adventuring out of your comfort zone to explore nearby wonders—this trip will enchant you to embrace a newly reinvented version of yourself and take your chances, both big and small, on everything the city of lights has to offer.
Elevated above the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll be staying at the Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, featuring 1,496 ultra-stylish rooms and suites, making it the largest Conrad in the world. With impeccable art and incredibly luxe amenities, including a spa, Michelin-starred restaurants, a casino, shopping, and seven pools, this hotel undoubtedly has it all, and we’re more than here for it.
Upon arrival, you’ll get to *sneak* into the resort’s Allē Lounge on 66 for a free CosmoTrips exclusive perks drink. As a CosmoTrips guest, you’ll also get a three-course, Asian-style dinner at FUHU—the newest innovation of high-energy-meets-experiential-vibe dining in Vegas. Once the sun sets, you’ll get free admission to Zouk nightclub—a new space with vibrant dance music that’s poised to become the most technologically advanced nightclub in Vegas. Plus, you’ll score a complimentary daybed at one of the resort’s seven pools (or $100 beverage credit if traveling Nov-Feb when pool is closed), along with many more editor-approved recs along the way (wink, wink).
TL;DR? Consider this itinerary your chance to hit the jackpot and experience the best of what the city of lights has to offer.

Day 1. Welcome to Vegas!
Beaming, bright lights. Sounds of cars whipping by. Soaring architecture and what-feels-like-a-dream monuments embellishing every corner. With an enthralling impulse to take your chances on just about everything that surrounds you—finally, you’ve made it. Welcome to Vegas!
First stop: check in
Check in at the Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, settle into your room, and admire the sleek, modern-meets-luxury touches and sophisticated amenities of your new “home” for a few days. Hi, mini bar! After a quick freshen up, slip into the resort’s Allē Lounge on 66 to snag your complimentary CosmoTrips perks drink. An Espresso Martini? Obviously. Enjoy the v laidback vibe and check out their mixology program to mix up even more magical cocktails to get that buzz going.
Cosmo rec for an afternoon activity: sunbathing at one of the resort’s seven pools
Let’s be honest. Nothing beats a solid pool day. And nothing beats a solid pool day more than a pool day at this resort. With the only infinity edge pool on the strip, seven (!) pools to choose from, and some pretty epic Vegas city views, grab your complimentary CosmoTrips daybed*, throw on your shades, and order up a cocktail/lunch from one of the poolside bars for an afternoon of pure *bliss.* If you didn’t already have your OOO message on, now would probably be a good time to do that. Bye.
~If~ your CosmoTrip falls in the winter when the pools are closed, here's your alternative plan: shopping. Tour the resort’s 70,000 (!) square-foot space of boutiques—The District—where current and future trends meet and treat yourself to splurging on everything you never thought you needed. Just do it. After a successful solid few hours of vacay retail therapy, head back to your room for the classic outfit swap and get ready for dinner. Maybe wear something you just splurged on? Just saying.
Cosmo rec for dinner: Bar Zazu, Dawg House Saloon, or Geylang Claypot Rice
Ok, Bar Zazu is literally a vibe, and you need to do dinner here. With a bold-meets-chic, Euro-style café feel, this fine-dining restaurant offers a long list of tapas, brews, wine, and cocktails. Basically, if you’re in the mood for something, Bar Zazu probably has it. If you’re not feeling totally ready for the fine-dining-in-Vegas vibe just yet, try Dawg House Saloon—a more casual spot that’s actually a classic Nashville sports bar, situated next to the sports book with live music, beers, and pub-style eats. There are also the famous spots, if you’re feeling extra spicy, like Geylang Claypot Rice—a Singapore claypot eatery, serving up Michelin-plate-winning rice dishes from Southeast Asia. Basically, there’s a place to eat for whatever type of mood you’re vibin’ with in Vegas.
Cosmo rec for a nighttime activity: hit up the Resorts World casino
Roll the dice and play your cards right with a post-dinner gambling celebration at the Resorts World casino, conveniently located back at your hotel, so you can stay out late and not worry about what time you come home. See what we did there? Play some rounds, order a few drinks to fuel your luck, and (hopefully) win big. Best first night out on vacay ever? We think so.
A Tip For Your Trip: *Complimentary daybed at hotel pool is subject to availability. Please contact the hotel concierge at your earliest convenience to confirm (ideally at least 4 weeks prior to arrival). Hotel concierge will also arrange your complimentary cocktail at Allē Lounge on 66.
Check-in - Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World

With incredibly luxe amenities, the resort features seven pools (!), including an infinity pool with views of the Strip, a spa, Michelin-starred restaurants and authentic street food dining experiences, upscale lounges, and a 117,000 square-foot casino.

Plus, a complimentary daybed at any of the resort’s seven pools (if you stay in the summer) or $100 bevvy credit to use at any of the 40+ restaurants and bars in the resort (if you stay in the winter). Either way, you’re welcome.
But wait, we’re not done. One of the huge reasons we love this hotel, and why it’s *the* place to stay in Vegas, is its prime location to literally everything the city of lights has to offer. One – it’s close (only 4 miles!) from McCarran International Airport, and two – it’s located right on the Strip, granting you instant access to Vegas’ world-class restaurants, renowned shows, and all the v famous, must-see-when-in-Vegas sites, like The Fountains of Bellagio, High Roller Observation Wheel, and Vegas Eiffel Tower.
TL;DR? There’s no better place to stay in Vegas than the Conrad.
Day 2. Vegas
Good morning, Vegas, and beautiful western sky! If you slept in a lil, don’t sweat it, you’re on vacay. If you didn’t, then you’ll probably need a nap later (just saying). But whatever time it is, it’s brunch time, so spritz in some dry shampoo, and let’s get it for Vegas day two.
Your plan for brunch: Ping Pang Pong
Pop the sake and grab a dumpling (yes, sake and a dumpling), because the best place for brunch in Vegas is Ping Pang Pong—a Chinese kitchen—located just about 10 minutes from your hotel. Trust us. There are not many places in Vegas to get traditional dim sum for brunch, but Ping Pang Pong does it up in a big way. With more than 90 different brunch options to munch on, think: dumplings, steamed buns, tarts, veggies, and so much more, plus wine and sake, we are super here for this place.
Cosmo rec for a daytime activity: explore the Las Vegas Strip
Next, hit up the Las Vegas Strip, which is filled with close-to endless options to explore. Check out the Bellagio Fountains, take an Instagram grid-worthy pic in front of the Vegas Eiffel Tower, ride the High Roller Observation Wheel, or visit the Neon Museum. Btw, the Neon Museum features the many iconic and eclectic neon signs of Vegas, plus v cool experiences and shows. Spend a few hours here, see everything there is to see, then make your way back to the hotel and get ready for dinner.
Your plan for dinner: FUHU
If we had to pick our favorite spot for dinner in Vegas, it’s definitely FUHU. This restaurant features a unique twist on contemporary Asian cuisine and drinks, giving off all the high-energy-meets-experiential vibes to make your dining experience 100%. As a CosmoTrips guest, you’ll get an *exclusive* dinner at FUHU (!), where you can indulge in cocktails, a three-course menu, and dessert, with dishes like goma crab, signature fried rice, and so much more. In the mood for something sweet after dinner? Listen, we get that sometimes you just need more than one dessert. Right this way, please…
Cosmo rec for something sweet: Sweet Eats, right in your resort!
Sweet Eats is conveniently located in your resort, which makes it even more of a reason you should get a treat here (or five?) after dinner. From gourmet cookies, chocolates, and flavored ice, this place has us on cloud 9, and will give you a serious dose of energy for your big night out.
Your plan for a night out: Zouk Nightclub
Hello, night of dancing. Enter: Zouk—Vegas’ new space that’s bringing dance music to the next level. Basically, this is *the* place to be when it comes to the Vegas nightlife scene and delivers all the VIP celebrity vibes. As a CosmoTrips guest, you’ll land free admission to Zouk*, where you can jam out to eclectic, booming tracks from celeb DJs, like Zedd, Deadmau5 and DJ Snake. Name a better way to spend your night out. We’ll wait.
A Tip For Your Trip: *Complimentary entry to Zouk excludes special events. Please speak with the hotel concierge to arrange your groups entry.
Day 3. Vegas
Ok, so odds are you (definitely) need some solid food and coffee (maybe a spiked coffee?) after last night. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas though, right? Get ready, throw on something cute, yet comfy, and start Vegas day 3 with brunch, obviously.
Cosmo rec for brunch: The Kitchen, right in your resort!
Hear us out. The only thing better than brunch, is a buffet-style brunch, which is why The Kitchen is the G.O.A.T. Plus, it’s right in your resort for #convenience. Serving unlimited food and drink options, from eggs, pancakes, waffles, pizza, and so much more, plus mimosas, bloody marys, and all the brunch drinks, this place has everything, and is set in a super-casual setting, overlooking the casino.
Next stop: daytrip to Hoover Dam or Red Rock Canyon, or treat yourself to a spa day
If you’re feeling *adventurous* take your chances on a day trip to nearby Hoover Dam (a 40-minute drive) or hike Red Rock Canyon (a 25-minute drive). Both spots are must-sees when out west and offer exciting excursions for the more outdoors-y travelers. Plus, Hoover Dam is the eighth wonder of the world (!), which is even more of a reason to visit. When in Nevada, right?
If you’re feeling like you want more of a chill, treat-yourself-type-of-day, which TBH, sounds like a literal dream, then hit up the resort’s spa, Awana, or head to nearby Canyon Ranch Spa. With a 130,000+ square-foot space, Canyon Ranch Spa is one of the largest spas in the world (!) and has a climbing wall, Peloton room, multiple workout areas, plus a huge treatment wing. Think: hot stone massages, aromatherapy, facials. Ok, we’re sold.
Your plan for dinner: Kuru Kuru Pa Yakitori or Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng
Finally, dinner. But not just any dinner, dinner at Kuru Kuru Pa Yakitori, which is one of the most must-eat-at spots in Vegas, created by Steve and Kevin Aoki. Serving Japanese-inspired food like yakitori (obviously), kushiyaki, yaki, onigiri, along with a swanky selection of signature drinks and mochi, this place is a total vibe, and you should probably order one of everything on the menu. Plus, it’s located right in your resort.
If you’re looking for a lil more glitz and glam, you can opt to check out Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng, which translates to “tea restaurant” (also located right in the resort), which is a sit-down restaurant offering an exotic taste of classic Hong Kong flavors.
TBH, whichever spot you choose, you can’t go wrong.
Your move for a night out: the VIP Pool Bar and Allē Lounge, right in your resort!
PSA: the best way to celebrate your last night in Vegas is at the resort’s VIP Pool Bar or *exclusive* 66th-floor lounge. Snag a spot at the VIP Pool Bar, which has the only (yes, only) infinity edge pool on the Strip (!) and is a straight up oasis for guests looking to seek exclusivity and live their best, last-night-in-Vegas VIP life.
After a solid few drinks at the pool bar, venture to the 66th-floor’s Allē Lounge—a private space soaring high above the Las Vegas Strip, with impeccable, expansive views of the city. Nightcap, anyone? I mean, why not. Order a cocktail at the lounge’s bar, which showcases a collection of fine and rare spirits. We dare you to try the Love Note cocktail. Come on, take your chances, bb. You know you want to.
Day 4. Depart Vegas
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Good morning, last day in Vegas. But! Good news is you get to sleep in, thanks to your complimentary 12pm checkout as a CosmoTrips guest (snooze that alarm!). Ok, so once you’ve managed to make it out of bed and throw on that airport groufit, we have one more lil surprise for you: breakfast and a lot of coffee.
Cosmo rec for breakfast and coffee: Sun’s Out Buns Out, right in your hotel!
Snag a coffee and something to eat at Sun’s Out Buns Out—a cute-sy breakfast spot, located right in your hotel that offers a playful take on comfort food, starring one key ingredient: eggs. Whether you’re in the mood for a staple eggs-and-toast dish or feeling spicy for a short rib and eggs platter, this place serves just about every egg dish you could ever imagine, plus they have a solid large-sized iced coffee option, aka the perfect travel-home companion.

After you’ve grabbed breakfast and coffee, check out of the hotel, and start making that dreaded trek home (sigh).

Until next time, Vegas…
