I can cover a little bit of everything Las Vegas has to offer without going overboard in two nights.
  • I've been to Las Vegas many times in 20+ years and I no longer go there for more than two nights. 
  • The perfect Las Vegas trip is weekend-long and has a lot of good food, plus some chill days. 
  • I maximize my trip by booking a hotel on the Strip and eating at good Vegas restaurants.

I've been going to Las Vegas regularly since the early 2000s and have adopted a firm policy to never stay more than two nights.
