Once upon a time, the idea was “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” But now, a big part of any trip to Sin City is to light up your social media feed with some of the best Las Vegas photo spots. With its iconic neon lights, giant casinos and flamboyant style, Las Vegas is a city that begs to have its picture taken, as subject, backdrop or both.
Iconic Architecture
Some of the best Las Vegas Instagram spots can be found at Caesars Palace. A replica of Rome’s famed Trevi Fountain in front of the casino offers a backdrop of bubbling waters and Baroque statuary. Another spectacular architectural moment can be found right inside at The Forum Shops. The three-level atrium at the entrance is inspired by the design of a classical basilica with a central spiral escalator rising under an enormous domed skylight.
At the opposite end of the property, a 17-foot-tall marble replica of Michelangelo’s "David" welcomes guests to the hotel lobby and makes a scroll-stopping photo, as does the enormous statue of Augustus Caesar at the main casino entrance. The Garden of the Gods pool complex also provides plenty of photo opportunities, including the pillared pavilion in the center of the Temple Pool or the swim-up gaming tables at the Fortuna Pool.
Food and Photo Ops
Even if you’re taking a break for a bite or a beverage, you don’t have to put your camera down. The rose-tinted setting of Café Lola has a number of garden-style backdrops dotted with flowers and neon that invite guests for tea, pastries and striking poses. Beijing Noodle No. 9 begins with an entrance flanked by enormous fish tanks and flows into a dramatic white-on-white space with frosted glass and dreamy lighting. The dramatically flame-lit logo or red neon "tunnel" outside Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen is a great place to snap a shot before or after dinner. The action at the restaurant's dueling open kitchens is something to see (and snap) as well.
Famous Features
Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino has been a famous name in Sin City since the 1940s, and it’s also one of the most popular photo spots in town. The Flamingo sign by the southeast corner of the property is an explosion of pink and orange flames and feathers that pulsates with light. The resort’s Flamingo Wildlife Habitat is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the Strip, an oasis with waterfalls and palm trees where flamingos, turtles, koi and other exotic creatures reside. The casino entrance from The LINQ Promenade is topped by vivid neon script and flanked by enormous pink flamingos.
The LINQ Hotel & Casino itself is the site of one of the city’s most recognizable structures and its most impressive photo ops. The High Roller is the tallest observation wheel in the United States and offers a supreme vantage point to witness the lights of the Strip or the sunset over Mount Charleston.
Parisian Chic
Paris Las Vegas offers a number of fabulous photo ops, beginning with an iconic French landmark. The replica Eiffel Tower makes both an outstanding photo subject and observation point. From the sidewalk, it creates a striking background for selfies or stands alone as a spectacular structure. Go up to the tower’s 46th-floor viewing deck and take in a 360-degree view of the Strip, the Las Vegas Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Chéri Rooftop restaurant is located under the tower and overlooks iconic Strip scenes, offering French garden vibes along with your brunch, dinner or cocktails.
Back on the ground, the Paris hotel lobby glitters with Versailles-inspired gilding, mirrors and chandeliers. A different kind of lavishness can be found at Vanderpump à Paris, designed as a plush art nouveau garden. The menu is also designed to be Instagrammed, with whimsical charcuterie platters and drinks served in perfume bottles or under glass pyramids.
Hooray for Hollywood
Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino is home to two restaurants that offer a glamorous setting for a meal and a photo shoot. Caramella serves Italian food in a setting of '70s Italian glam. The Strip-facing patio feels right for celebratory meals, while the secret bar has a sultry chic suited to an it-girl’s night out. The Strip House is rooted in golden age Hollywood aesthetics, with glowy lighting and scarlet walls adorned with black-and-white pinup photos.
A trip to Las Vegas is about making memories you'll treasure long after the flight home lands. But it's also about sharing the adventure, both in your feed and your picture frame.
