If you\u2019ve got a birthday coming up, we\u2019ve got some killer ideas on how to spend it in Sin City. Want to feel like a movie star for a night? We\u2019ve got ideas. Feel like getting in touch with your inner child? You got it. Want to cram a year\u2019s worth of relaxation into a single weekend? Check. Here\u2019s a rundown of a handful of Las Vegas vacations<\/a> that are stone guaranteed to make any birthday celebration unforgettable.<\/p>\n

1. Relaxation:<\/strong> Canyon Ranch SpaClub (Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino<\/a>)\u2013 Cake and ice cream are a great birthday treat no matter what age you are, but it takes a particularly discerning individual to know the difference between fleeting sugar overload and the long-lasting effects of a full-body massage. The Canyon Ranch Spa Club knows what it\u2019s talking about with regard to relaxation, and offers special full-day packages that can make even a brief stay feel like those endless summer vacations of youth.<\/p>\n

2. Nightlife: <\/strong>JET (The Mirage\u00a0Hotel and Casino<\/a>) \u2013 They don\u2019t call JET the ultimate nightlife experience for nothing. Odds are even if you\u2019re well-versed in high-class club hopping, you\u2019ve never experienced anything quite like it, and what better way to find out for yourself than your birthday? You\u2019ve made it this far \u2013 you\u2019re a survivor of life. It\u2019s high time you treated yourself like the star you are by securing a VIP table at The Mirage\u2019s own 15,000-square-foot night club. Although you run the risk of having every future club experience pale in comparison, it\u2019s a chance worth taking. After all, that\u2019s what Las Vegas vacations are all about.<\/p>\n

Sure, 99% of Vegas isn't for the kiddies, but the Tournament of Kings at Excalibur is.<\/p><\/div>\n

3. Family Fun:<\/strong> Tournament of Kings (Excalibur<\/a>) \u2013 If dinner theater\u2019s never been your idea of birthday fun, you\u2019ve never experienced the Tournament of Kings. This is the kind of stuff that makes family vacations eternally memorable, and whether you\u2019re taking everyone to Vegas to celebrate your youngling\u2019s special day, or hauling the kids along to celebrate your own, this is one attraction not to miss. Get medieval on your dinner by feasting with your hands as you take in the fireworks, dancing maidens, and horse jousting that all takes place at center stage.<\/p>\n

If you want to party it up Vegas-style with your homies or your BFFs, you\u2019ve come to the right place \u2013 and really, where else would you go? Here’s a tip: Sin City\u2019s bar hopping opportunities are plentiful, whether you feel like kicking it old style up around Fremont Street or are more interested in catching the action down on the southern Strip. If you start early, you can even do both \u2013 just keep it safe and call a cab, or designate a DD for the night.<\/p>\n
