Father’s Day is quickly approaching and instead of gifting the thoughtless tie or golf balls, why not treat your biggest hero to an unforgettable Las Vegas weekend experience. Whether he’s a sports fanatic, steak connoisseur, or theater buff – there’s a more memorable way this year to thank dad for being him. Here as some ideas at top resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.

Whiskey-infused Barber Experience

All fathers deserve to be pampered now and again, and there’s nothing feminine about the salon experience at the new Whiskey Bar at The Mirage. Dads can enjoy a Traditional Hot Lather Shave while partaking in the facility’s sophisticated bar with unique whiskey choices including Bulleit Bourbon, Jim Beam Devil’s Cut, Jefferson’s Reserve or Maker’s Mark. Throw in flat-screen TVs to the equation and you get the finest retreat a man could ask for – watch the game, relax and have a solid libation.

Eat Like a King

For a carnivorous dad, Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak at The Mirage is the Holy Grail. The famed New York chef focuses on meats prepared entirely over an open flame – from wood-burning ovens to charcoal grills. On the menu, Tom returns to the American cultural tradition of meat, focusing on antibiotic-free animals raised by purveyors committed to time-honored farming practices and heritage breeds. Named one of the most important restaurants in 2013 by Zagat, the 220-seat restaurant is sure to promise dad a meal to remember.

Get in the Game

Hit the grand slam with pops this year by heading to the world-famous Mandalay Bay Sports Book. Guests can get in on the action with 17 large-screen TVs and countless individual race seats with personal monitors. Or spoil dad to something more exclusive with the VIP seating —the enclosed VIP Luxury Box offers not only the VIP treatment for groups of 1 to 8, but allows betters to wager on horses from their seat on a touch-screen monitor.

Awe-inspiring Adventure

Experience an action-packed, unprecedented theatrical event with dad at KÀ by Cirque du Soleil at MGM Grand. Guests will be taken on a magical journey as the epic tale of twins on a perilous journey unfolds and they are met with the choice of good and evil. A masterpiece in storytelling, KÀ applies the visual vocabulary of cinema to a live spectacle, creating a vibrant narrative that conjures an entire empire on stage.
