Going on a date is always a fun experience, whether it’s your first date or your 300th.

Next time you’re planning a date in Las Vegas, keep your mind open. Below are seven of our favorite unique Vegas date ideas that take you outside of the bars, restaurants, and casinos:
Love is beautiful and comes naturally, so celebrate it in one of the most beautiful natural wonders of Nevada. The Valley of Fire is a beautiful backdrop to your date, and only costs $10 a person to get in.

Giving chocolates is always an appreciated gesture, but let’s be honest, there are opportunities to make the classic romantic chocolate gift more exciting. Take your chocolate giving to the next level and transform it into a full-blown date at Ethel M Chocolates.
