The temperatures are warming up, and so are the fun and exciting Las Vegas activities as crowds roll into the city.

Find what to do and what to expect for an amazing Memorial Day Weekend in Las Vegas!
Summertime means sunshine, and what better place to soak up that sun than at a rooftop bar with a cocktail in hand to cool you down from the Vegas heat? Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend on top of the world overlooking the beautiful Nevada desert. If being out in the sun isn’t for you, we have some great news. Not only are our rooftop bars great during the day, but they’re also somehow even better at sunset and at night. Check out Legacy Club at Circa Resort for the most spectacular golden hour and the prettiest views of the Strip at night.
If you want to take your drinking inside or want more variety, you need to explore all the other bars in the area throughout the weekend. With a lot of people visiting for the weekend, this is the best way for people to watch while getting to explore the city’s many bars. Trying out different bars also gives you some great opportunities to meet people. And meeting people means more friends to celebrate with! From Las Vegas breweries to exciting cocktail bars, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during Memorial Day Weekend.
Las Vegas pools are a no-brainer when it comes to celebrating Memorial Day Weekend. Is there anything more iconic than a pool party to wrap up the summer? From day to night, the city is sure to be making a splash at the many pools all weekend long. The great thing about our pools is that Vegas is a fan of variety. You want a giant pool party? We have those. Want a sports-filled weekend by the pool? Circa Stadium Swim® is the ultimate getaway. Or want to just lounge by the pool while you recover from the night before? There’s no shame in hitting up a spa.
At home, Memorial Day Weekend is usually accompanied by a backyard barbecue. Unfortunately, traveling with a grill to Vegas isn’t the easiest thing – unless you book a Las Vegas penthouse where a grill is already waiting for you. Fortunately, Vegas has everything you need to make up for your home barbecue with hot dogs at American Coney Island, burgers at Victory Burger, and Carolina barbecue from Project BBQ. If you’re a fancy grillmaster with steaks, Andiamo Steakhouse and Barry’s Downtown Prime will easily satisfy that craving.
Las Vegas might be the ultimate spot for partying, especially for Memorial Day Weekend. But if you’re looking for a more low-key celebration this year away from the crowds, you can escape into the beauty of nature around the city. Swap out your club outfits and cocktails for some hiking boots and some water for a unique Vegas Memorial Day Weekend experience. It might not be your typical type of celebration with alcohol and partying, but a nice summer hike is definitely still a celebration of the start of the season – especially before temperatures get too high.
As with any holiday weekend in Las Vegas, expect it to be a party! This means higher crowds than usual, sometimes higher prices, and always higher fun. If you are ready for the ultimate celebration to kick off the summer in style, then you’re in the right place. Las Vegas is sure to be celebrating hard this Memorial Day Weekend, and well past it through the rest of the season.
If you want to be surrounded by the action without being overwhelmed by the crowds at the Strip, staying in Downtown Las Vegas is the best place to be. Not only can you easily get to the Strip, but you’ll also have easy access to Circa Resort and Stadium Swim when staying at the D, free live music and other entertainment on Fremont Street, unique bars and restaurants, and so much more. Book a room at the D for the best Vegas Memorial Day Weekend you’ll ever have!
