Things to Do in Las Vegas April 2026 Around Bitcoin Con
Conference days end at 5pm - Here is everything worth doing with the time before, (during), and after.
Casinos & Gambling
You already took a risk on crypto - why not the casino? All kidding aside, if gambling is yout thing, we have a few recommendations based on your favorite poison:
For Baccarrat, we don’t have an article yet but you will find it all around town. Dana White talks about playing at Caesars and Red Rock (he plays big hands). If you want to get immersed in the true Baccarat scene, check out Gold Coast a mile off of the strip.
If you just want to walk the floors and cop some free drinks, check out this guide.
Visit the Sphere
The Sphere sits directly next to The Venetian, and if you don’t know what it is then keep scrolling.
Phish returns for a nine-show residency across three weekends, with the April 23-25 run landing the weekend before Bitcoin Con and the April 30-May 2 run the weekend after -- both worth building your trip around.
The Wizard of Oz immersive experience runs throughout all of April for anyone who wants a different evening option during the conference itself. This is a highly recommended show.

Dine in a Classic Steakhouse
Las Vegas has no shortage of steakhouses, but a few of them are genuinely worth the reservation.
Here are three that belong on the list:
THE Steak House at Circus Circus
A Las Vegas tradition for over 30 years, THE Steak House at Circus Circus dry-ages Midwestern beef in a glass-enclosed room visible from the dining room, then finishes it over an open-hearth mesquite charcoal broiler -- making it one of the most distinctive steakhouse experiences on the Strip.

Golden Steer Steakhouse
Open since 1958, the Golden Steer is the oldest continuously operating steakhouse in Las Vegas, with red leather booths named after Sinatra, Elvis, and the rest of the Rat Pack -- and a tableside Caesar salad that server Venko has reportedly made over a million times, which is worth ordering for the performance alone.

STK Las Vegas
STK at the Cosmopolitan brings a high-energy room to serious beef, making it the right call for a group dinner that doesn't want to feel like a museum.

There are tons of other great steakhouses, just don’t go to any with celebrity names attached. Unless that celebrity is mob Lawyer Oscar Goodwin’s steakhouse.
Visit the Mob Museum
If collecting money is more your style, you’ll find the perfect education in all things Mafia and Organized Crime (there is a section for digital crimes too).
The Mob Museum is a four-floor deep dive into organized crime history housed in Las Vegas' former federal courthouse, with artifacts from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, interactive exhibits, and a basement speakeasy called The Underground that serves craft cocktails behind a secret password you can find on their Instagram.
Admission starts at $34.95 for adults, with upgrade options including:
Open 9am to 9pm daily, with The Underground running until midnight on weekends.

Shoot Machine Guns
Las Vegas has several shooting ranges, and two of them are genuinely worth the trip.
Machine Guns Vegas is a full-throttle experience built around the same weapons used by military special operations units, with themed packages including:
Seal Team 6 and SAS Experience
The Gamer's Package, featuring weapons from popular video games
Combo packages for groups who want variety
The facility has a VIP lounge setup with a sophisticated atmosphere that sets it apart from a standard range.

Battlefield Vegas has over 1,000 weapons systems, a recently completed full facility remodel, and military Humvee hotel pickups that set the tone before you even get there.

Helicopter Rides - Maverick Helicopters
Maverick departs directly from the Las Vegas Strip, flies over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, and descends 3,500 feet into the Grand Canyon for a landing in Hualapai Indian Territory -- and their Wind Dancer Sunset Tour returns over the lit-up Strip at night, giving you the natural wonder and the neon spectacle in a single four-hour trip.
Complimentary hotel pickup is included for most Strip properties.

Rent a Lambo
If you’re looking to flex with the homies or need to shoot inspirational content for a get-rich-quick scheme, you’ll need a lambo.
Dream Exotics is one of the most well-reviewed rental companies in the city, with a fleet that includes:
Lamborghini Huracán and Huracán STO
Ferrari 812 Superfast, California T, and 488 Spider
Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Ghost, Dawn, and Wraith
Aston Martin and Bentley

Drai's Nightclub at the Cromwell is the top hip-hop club on the Strip, with a rooftop setup, a 4,000-square-foot LED screen, and the kind of bottle service crowd that fits the Bitcoin conference demographic well.

Day Clubs & Pool Parties
It’s already getting hot here. If you’re looking to catch some fun in the sin, Day Clubs may be your choice of destination.
Encore Beach Club at the Wynn is widely considered the gold standard for Las Vegas pool parties, with top-level DJs, luxury bungalows, lily pads in the pools, and bottle service presentations that are a show on their own.
Hand’s down, Encore is the best. There are plenty of other options and great pools but we don’t want to write anymore.
