What are our Top 5 Picks for your Las Vegas Honeymoon?

The Bellagio: There's something about having a room above the Bellagio fountain that just screams romance. The rooms are luxurious and the flowers and glass in the lobby give in a real celebratory feel for a couple on a honeymoon.

Loews Lake Las Vegas: A AAA 4-Diamond Award winner, Loews Lake Las Vegas is close enough to the action of the Strip, but far enough away to give you rest and relaxation after what may have been months of wedding preparations. You'll have a white sandy beach and a lake which you can explore, just the two of you, with a canoe, kayak or pedal boat.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas: One of the newer Las Vegas hotels, noted for having private terraces with many of the rooms and suites. If you're flush with some extra honeymoon cash, pop for the Lanai Suite, which boasts a # 550-sq.-ft. private, outdoor terrace with a private Jacuzzi.

The Venetian: They have authentic Venetian gondolas with singing gondoliers! Now, that's romantic. And, there's the Aquavana™ treatments at their Canyon Ranch SpaClub.

Skylofts at MGMGrand: The Skylofts at MGM Grand is actually located on the top two floors of the MGM Grand hotel. The incredible views are romantic enough, but their list of amenities (huge, by the way) include some very romantic touches, such as the hand-drawn baths with relaxing lighting and calming music, and the "Environment Remote" which gives you wireless control of the lighting, drapes, and music. There are probably some things you don't really need, like a personal elevator escort or the packing/unpacking assistance, but, it's fun anyway!
