What Makes Vegas Great | Las Vegas Engagement Photographer

Gracie and Josh came from their hometown of Scottsdale to the city that I love to call home: Las Vegas — for a quick visit and a super-fun engagement photoshoot! In their inquiry, they talked about how much they loved Vegas and, uhm, who wouldn’t?! Honestly, though, if you don’t know what makes this city so unique, I’m here to tell you alllll about it.

Whether you’re a seasoned Vegas visitor, a long-time native, or a first-time explorer, there are so many places in Las Vegas to love! From all the classic hotspots to tiny hidden gems, every kind of food, entertainment, experience, and view can be found. Even though the city feels a bit unreal sometimes (seriously, it’s a glittering metropolis surrounded by a desert that goes on for AGES), the craziest parts of Las Vegas are also what makes it one of the coolest places on earth.

Founded in 1905 and now 120 years old, Vegas has gone through LOTS of phases in her incredible life. Not only is there a ton of history around every corner, there’s also constant new development and dedication to rejuvenation in every part of the city. Lovers of everything vintage and seekers of the newest, hottest spots can all find a place that feels like home here.

Another favorite feature for lots of visitors and natives alike is the art scene. Everywhere you look, handmade murals and innovative artworks can be found on the sides of buildings, tucked in alleys, and high up on famous Vegas neon signs. If you want to feature your love of all things creative, we can hit up the Arts District for some awesome photos!

When I say these reasons are just the tip of the iceberg for what makes Vegas great, I’m not joking, folks. For anyone debating a visit (and a fun photoshoot) in and around Vegas, hit up your friendly neighborhood Las Vegas photographer and let’s go check out even more of what my amazing city has to offer!
