TravCon isn’t just the ultimate conference for traveling healthcare professionals – it’s also your chance to experience one of the most vibrant cities in the world! If you’re heading to Las Vegas this September, we’ve got you covered with a list of must-do activities to make the most of your trip before, after, or in between conference sessions.
- Walk the Strip at Night
Las Vegas comes alive after dark with dazzling lights, street performers, and endless energy. Take a leisurely stroll down Las Vegas Boulevard and soak in the iconic neon glow. The fountains at Bellagio, the volcano at The Mirage, and the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas are all free to enjoy.
- Catch a Show
From jaw-dropping Cirque du Soleil productions to legendary musical acts, Vegas has entertainment for every taste. If you’ve never seen a Vegas show, make this the year you do! Just remember to book early – popular performances sell out fast during TravCon week.
- Treat Yourself to a Celebrity Chef Restaurant
Vegas is a foodie’s paradise. Dine at one of the many restaurants from world-renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Giada De Laurentiis, or Jose Andres. Whether you crave fine dining or next-level comfort food, you’ll find it here.
- Take a Photo at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign
It’s a classic for a reason! Grab your travel crew and snap a pic at the iconic Las Vegas sign at the south end of the Strip. Bonus tip: go early in the morning to avoid the lines.
- Explore Fremont Street Experience
If you want a different Vegas vibe, head downtown to the Fremont Street. This pedestrian-only area is packed with live music, street performers, zip lines, and the world’s largest video screen canopy.
- Visit a Vegas Rooftop Bar
Elevate your evening (literally) by visiting a rooftop bar like Skyfall Lounge or Foundation Room. Sip a cocktail while enjoying panoramic views of the city – the perfect way to unwind after a day of networking and learning.
- Relax at a Resort Pool
Vegas isn’t all high-energy – it’s also a great place to relax. Spend a few hours at one of the city’s luxurious pools, like Paris Las Vegas or Circa Stadium Swim. Many hotels offer day passes if your resort doesn’t have one.
- Go on a Day Trip to the Grand Canyon of Red Rock Canyon
If you have extra time, consider a day trip to explore Nevada and Arizona’s natural beauty. Red Rock Canyon is just 30 minutes away, while the Grand Canyon is a longer trip but totally worth it.
- Experience the High Roller Observation Wheel
See the Strip from new heights on the world’s tallest observation wheel. The 30-minute ride offers stunning views – and you can even book a happy hour cabin.
- Connect with Fellow Travelers Outside of Sessions
One of the best parts of TravCon is meeting your fellow traveling healthcare pros. Plan a group dinner, join an after-hours event, or explore the city together. Vegas memories are even better when shared with your conference family!
Pro Tip: Between the conference, networking events, and exploring the city, your schedule will fill up quickly. Make a plan so you can check off your must-do list while still getting plenty of rest for the big conference days.
