Group Activities in Las Vegas – Things To Do With a Crew

Things To Do With a Group in Las Vegas

Topgolf

You likely have one in your hometown, but I can assure you, the one in Brooklyn Park, MN doesn’t stack up to the Vegas version.

Tucked behind MGM Grand, Topgolf offers engaging and enjoyable games that golfers and non-golfers alike are sure to enjoy.

Topgolf serves a full menu, boasts multiple bars, has TVs everywhere (including at the end of the range), and even makes a 2-level swimming pool available to those 21+.

The pool is free to get into, regardless of whether you plan to golf or not.

Atomic Golf at STRAT

A similar attraction to Topgolf, Atomic Golf’s range comes to life at night with cosmic lighting effects… although it has a boring, gray look during the day.

Play Playground at Luxor

On the topic of competitive juices, check out Play Playground, an attraction that’ll allow your group to compete against each other on easy-to-understand carnival-style games.

I detest “gimmicky” stuff, and loved this.

A pass granting you 12 games costs $37. See who in your group lands atop the leaderboard!

High Roller Observation Wheel

High Roller’s pods hold up to 40 people, and the attraction even offers a group discount.

Reaching heights of 550 feet above the Strip, the Observation Wheel is sure to generate plenty of chatter amongst the crew throughout the 30-minute revolution.

While a traditional ride on the High Roller is impressive, those looking for a “rowdier” experience may want to consider upgrading to the Happy Half Hour experience for an extra $40, which offers an open bar for the duration of your ride.

I’ve now taken two Happy Half Hour spins and have gotten my money’s worth both times. They even offer you a drink for the road!

Brooklyn Bowl

Found along the LINQ Promenade, Brooklyn Bowl offers bowling with an edge. Along with traditional bowling, Brooklyn Bowl commonly hosts live music, features several bars, and has a full menu.

Think of it as a classier, more enjoyable take on traditional bowling.

Throw Darts

On the topic of social games, Flight Club can be found in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, offering 20 semi-private playing areas.

This is nothing like your “divey” darts bar back home, either – Flight Club is best described as “elegant”.

Dine in Complete Darkness

On the topic of food, few meals will provide a more unique experience in Las Vegas than Blackout: Dining in the Dark.

As the name would suggest, Blackout: Dining in the Dark is a 7-course fine dining experience served in complete darkness, which is said to elevate your other senses.

No cell phones, flashlights, or other light sources. Just darkness.

No doubt, your group will be talking about this for some time.

Don’t worry, the staff is issued night vision goggles to help them navigate the room :).

A Helicopter Tour

Few views of Las Vegas are better than those provided by a helicopter tour of the Strip.

Prices start at around $115 per person, and the flight path takes you from the south end of the Strip to Downtown Las Vegas and back.

Helicopter tours from Las Vegas also visit the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Red Rock Canyon.

An Escape Room

There are few better ways to bond than by escaping from a prickly situation. The Escape Game, located conveniently in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace gives your crew that opportunity.

A highly reviewed experience, The Escape Game offers a few unique scenarios that include a prison break, a museum heist, and the exploration of an undersea laboratory among others.

Visit an Elevated Cocktail Lounge

Grabbing drinks with a view of Las Vegas can be the perfect bookend for your night, either kicking it off or winding it down.

Some of my favorite options include:

• Alle Lounge on 66 at Resorts World
• Legacy Club at Circa
• Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay
• Skyfall Lounge at Delano
• 108 Drinks at STRAT found in their indoor Observation Deck
• BrewDog atop the Showcase Mall
• Beer Park at Paris – Not high, but great views of the Strip

Another go-to of our is the Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den at Resorts World, which is hidden behind an active restaurant in their Famous Foods Street Eats food hall.

Sing (or watch) Karaoke Together

Several karaoke bars in Las Vegas offer private room rentals that could make for a memorable, albeit embarrassing (depending on your skill level) night out on the town.

Kamu Ultra Karaoke, located on the Strip at Palazzo, offers medium, large, and VIP suites that can accommodate groups of 6-40 people.

Ninja Karaoke is located in the Las Vegas Arts District (near downtown), and also offers private karaoke rooms for groups that can accommodate 6-80 people.

Brewery Crawl in the Arts District

The Arts District is wedged between the Strip and Fremont Street, and is often overlooked by tourists.

The area has a laid-back, residential vibe. A complete departure from the madness found along the tourist corridors. Your group can even score a $10 matching tattoo at Koolsville!

You can get there cheaply from the Strip via the Deuce Bus or for free from Fremont Street via the Downtown Loop Shuttle.

Once you make it, you’ll be within walking distance of great dining, breweries, worthwhile bars, and (actually cool) shopping spread over an 18-block area.

My brother and I recently spent an afternoon jumping from brewery to brewery and had a blast.

Here’s a Brewery Row guide from the City of Las Vegas. Wouldn’t want you to miss one.

Explore Omega Mart at Area15

Just off the Strip, Omega Mart is the flagship attraction at the Area15 entertainment complex.

The attraction appears to be a run-of-the-mill supermarket, but there is much more to the story than meets the eye.

First, the products on the shelves at Omega Mart are… strange…

Next, your group will want to seek out the portals to another dimension that are hidden within the store.

Once you make it through a portal, the crew will have a blast exploring the collection of unique rooms, artistic displays, unreal visuals, and even twisting slides.

Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find behind Omega Mart’s retail facade.

As you navigate the nooks and crannies of Omega Mart, work together to solve the mystery of Dramcorp, Omega Mart’s parent company by leveraging the clues that are scattered about.
