Orlando & Las Vegas Multi & Twin Centre Holidays

For multi-centre holidays to Orlando and Las Vegas, the best time to visit largely depends on your preferences and tolerance for weather conditions. Generally, the ideal time to explore Orlando would be during the shoulder seasons of spring (from March to May) and autumn (from September to November). During these periods, the scorching heat of summer begins to ease off (with temperatures between 18°C to 28°C), making it more comfortable to enjoy the theme parks without being overwhelmed by humidity. As Las Vegas is situated in the Mojave Desert, it’s known for its scorching summers, so the spring and autumn seasons are more pleasant times to visit the vibrant city. You’ll find the temperature at this time sitting between 13°C to 25°C.

If you prefer a festive atmosphere, visiting both cities during the winter months can be an enchanting experience. Orlando remains relatively warm during this time, and it's an ideal period to explore the theme parks without the intensity of the summer heat. Meanwhile, Las Vegas, despite being cooler than in the summer, boasts a lively and festive atmosphere, with the added benefit of more manageable crowds compared to other popular periods.

Orlando and Las Vegas are both in the Eastern Time Zone of the US and are 5 hours behind the UK for most of the year. However, it's important to note that during the period of Daylight Saving Time, (usually in March and November), the time difference decreases by an hour.

For holidays to Orlando and Las Vegas, starting your journey from the UK usually involves departing from major airports such as London Heathrow Airport (LHR) or London Gatwick Airport (LGW). From the UK, you can find numerous direct flights to various US destinations, including those in Orlando and Las Vegas.

Upon arrival in the United States, the most convenient airports will be Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) in Orlando, and McCarran International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, which is situated in close proximity to the renowned Las Vegas Strip.

You have the option to start your trip preparations well in advance - you can secure your holiday up to 3 years in advance, allowing you to secure your reservation with an initial low deposit and lock in a set price. Simply pay the remainder in the months leading up to your departure date.

When it comes to travelling between multi-centres, the easiest way is by air. Both Orlando and Las Vegas have major airports which offer a variety of direct flights between the cities, which roughly take around 4-5 hours.

The number of days to spend on Orlando multi-centres will depend on what exactly it is you want to get out of the Sunshine State, as well as the depth of exploration desired. 

For a quick overview and sampling of the key attractions, a 2 to 3-day itinerary could cover the major theme parks such as Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando, giving a glimpse into the diverse world of entertainment and adventure that Orlando has to offer.

For a deeper experience, a 4 to 5-day stay gives enough time to make the most of the theme parks, potentially exploring specific sections within each park, enjoying more rides, shows, and character meet-and-greets, as well as making time for other popular attractions like the Kennedy Space Center or the Orlando Science Center.

If you’re looking to combine the theme parks with other recreational activities and relaxation, a 6 to 7-day trip would give enough time to pace the park visits, and intersperse them with leisurely activities like exploring the city's vibrant dining scene, venturing to nearby nature reserves, or enjoying some shopping at the local outlets and malls.

Florida is known for its great weather, but in the event of inclement weather (or if you want to get out of the sun for a while) there are several indoor activities to explore.

One popular option is the Orlando Science Center, where interactive exhibits, hands-on experiments, and engaging demonstrations offer an educational and entertaining experience for kids and adults alike. Similarly, the Orlando Museum of Art presents a diverse collection of artworks, featuring both contemporary and classic pieces, providing an enriching cultural escape from the tourist spots.

For those seeking immersive entertainment, ICON Park offers a range of indoor attractions, including the SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium, Madame Tussauds Orlando, and the Crayola Experience Orlando, which has a vibrant and creative indoor playground for families, with numerous interactive exhibits centered around arts and crafts. 

Navigating around on your Las Vegas multi-centres is relatively straightforward, thanks to the various transport options the city has to offer. 

Wandering along the Strip is a popular choice for many visitors, as it allows them to fully immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and take in the dazzling neon lights, iconic landmarks, and energetic street performances. The relatively short distances between major resorts and attractions make walking an easy and enjoyable way to explore this bustling entertainment hub, especially during peak hours when traffic congestion can slow down other forms of transportation.

Alternatively, the Las Vegas Monorail is a convenient and efficient mode of transport, connecting several key points along the Strip, including popular resorts and attractions such as the MGM Grand, Bally's, and the SLS Las Vegas. 

Additionally, frequent public buses and trams are a cheap way to navigate the Strip and its surrounding areas. These services offer accessibility to various points of interest and can be particularly useful for those looking to explore attractions located slightly off the main Strip, or venture to Downtown Las Vegas. 

Taxis and rideshare services are also readily available if you’re looking for something more direct and comfortable. 

Las Vegas is a shopper’s heaven, with its diverse and luxurious retail destinations that cater to different tastes and budgets. 

One of the most well-known shopping hotspots is The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, a sprawling retail complex known for its upscale boutiques, designer stores, and high-end fashion brands. The Forum Shops provide an immersive experience with stunning architecture, intricate details, and occasional live performances. 

Another popular spot is the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian; an Italian-themed shopping mall that recreates the charm of Venice with its picturesque canals and gondola rides - inside! Here, there’s a diverse array of shops, ranging from luxury brands to unique specialty stores.

If you’re looking for something more affordable, the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets is great for discounted designer goods and hunting out popular brands. This outlet mall has a variety of venues, including well-known fashion labels, accessory shops, and specialty stores, making it a favoured destination for bargain hunters. 

Finally, the Fashion Show Mall, located on the Las Vegas Strip, is another shopping haven that houses a mix of department stores, trendy boutiques, and flagship stores of popular retailers.
