Take your significant other or entire family to Nevada for a Valentine’s Day getaway of epic proportions. From partaking in a romantic tradition in Lovelock to partying in sleepless Las Vegas, there’s plenty to do in this desert state. Stay at a Nevada vacation rental in the big city or at a cottage tucked away in a small desert town. To get some destination ideas perfect for Valentine’s Day, check out these seven romantic places in Nevada.
1. Lovelock
When you want to share some unique Valentine’s Day experiences with your sweetheart or your family, your Lovelock vacation rental situates you in the home of Lovers Lock. There is a Chinese custom of symbolically locking a couple’s or family’s love on an endless chain. Perform this inspiring and endearing custom at Lover’s Lock Plaza with a friend, family members, or your soul mate. Purchase a lock at one of the participating businesses in town, then go to the plaza behind the Pershing County Courthouse. When you locate the green pillars connected with metal chains, place your lock on the chain. In the original custom, the lovers throw away the key, which some visitors do, while others retain theirs as a keepsake.

6. Las Vegas
Deciding where to go in Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day gives couples and families a wide range of options, including getting a birds-eye-view of the amazing city lights from a helicopter after dark with Pink Jeep Tours. You start out in a pink Jeep that takes you on a narrated tour to see some of the famous Vegas sites, including Wedding Chapel Row, before heading out to the helicopter pad. If you’d rather keep your feet on the ground, try the Valentine’s Day Wine Walk at the Downtown Container Park. The event treats you to wine tastings at four stations, giving you and your honey the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely day. Stroll through the park, and enjoy red, white, and sparkling wines. The park is an open-air shopping center with charming boutiques, restaurants, and live entertainment for your entire family. Kids enjoy the playground, while the adults enjoy entertainment taking place on the main stage, including movies and concerts. A special way to celebrate your love is to take in the Boyz II Men show at the Mirage. Sip champagne, get a beautiful red rose from the group, and cuddle during the 90-minute love song fest. The top romantic spot for dinner is the Eiffel Tower restaurant inside the Paris on the Vegas Strip. As you share an intimate dinner, watch the sun set behind the mountains and enjoy the amazing aquatic shows that are synced with music and the lights of the famous Bellagio Fountains. When you want to keep one surprise up your sleeve, pick up some cookies from the Honolulu Cookie Company in the LINQ Promenade. They’re perfect for nibbling while you watch your favorite romantic movies back at your Las Vegas vacation rental.
