Things to Do in Vegas on St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day is the one day that you try your luck of the Irish, even if you aren’t. Naturally, one of the best places to celebrate is Las Vegas. You may know it as Sin City and as one of the top destinations for shopping, fine dining and nightlife – where everything is larger than life. What many wanderlusters may not know is that Vegas is bangin’ on St. Patrick’s Day.

St.Patrick’s Day is a holiday where you can don every shade of green, drink green beer and enjoy the day like an honorary Irishman. In fact, in Newfoundland and Labrador, St Patrick’s Day is a public holiday observed on the Monday following the celebrations (March 21). Now, that’s dedication to the green!

We recently visited Las Vegas and had a blast, I can’t imagine how fun it would be on St. Patrick’s Day. For Canadians looking to get lucky this holiday, Expedia.ca has curated a list of four-leaf clover-worthy St. Patrick’s Day attractions, activities and casinos in Las Vegas:
