With its incredibly glamorous restaurants, cool sky-high bars with views of the iconic Strip and uniquely romantic attractions like gondola and helicopter rides, Las Vegas is the most extra place to do Valentine’s Day. But locals who’ve seen it all and done it all—or don’t find all that extra to be the right fit—are always looking for other options.

Maybe it’s time for a more casual, pressure-free V-day, or maybe it’s a group outing instead of that traditional celebration of coupledom. Still, always, Las Vegas has answers, no matter the level of romance you’re seeking, or who you’re seeking it with.

What Vegas show could possibly be more appropriate for the day than the long-running Marriage Can Be Murder dinner show? The interactive theater experience at the Rio debuts a new story, “With This Ring, I Thee Dread” on February 12, and through the holiday weekend, take advantage of a free upgrade including a box of chocolates, a glass of Champagne and a long-stemmed rose. Tickets start at $110 including a four-course dinner. (marriagecanbemurder.com)

For the 12th year, Ethel M Chocolates is hosting the Lights of Love display at its Cactus Garden, ready and waiting through February 16. Lit with over half a million red, purple and pink sparkling lights, this might be your ideal desert Instagram moment, no matter who you’re celebrating with, or without. Admission is $3 with half of all proceeds benefiting Three Square and HELP of Southern Nevada. (ethelm.com)

Downtown Container Park on East Fremont Street has a versatile all-day celebration planned for February 14, starting with a Valentine’s Day Sip & Paint hosted by Canvas & Cocktails where guests can enjoy a guided painting session paired with drinks on the Oak & Ivy patio. Shop Mama Sage will host a hands-on felt crafting session before the park pumps up the afternoon with all-you-can-drink mimosas and micheladas accompanied by live music from Strings & Beats. Later, at 10 p.m., the Galentine’s celebration includes a high-energy pole jam on the lawn from Sunny’s Pole Fitness, guaranteed to turn into a dance party. (downtowncontainerpark.com)

Just up the street on the day before Valentine’s, the cozy Vegas Vickie’s bar at Circa hosts its Gossip, Glam & Galentine’s party with special activations starting at 6 p.m. February 13 including glamorous photo ops and signature cocktails. Gather your girl gang. (circalasvegas.com)

Also Downtown, the Mob Museum will be doing the same thing it does every year, because Valentine’s Day is also free admission day for Nevada residents (and buy one, get one admission for visitors). If you want to get into organized crime for a day, the museum also hosts a meet-and-greet with reformed Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese Jr. and a classic car show in collaboration with the Las Vegas Valley Model A Ford Club.

There’s no reason not to celebrate all month long, which you can do beneath twinkling lights, rose-themed walls and other over-the-top Valentine’s Day decor at both locations of The Cantina (8349 W. Sunset Road, 6050 Sky Pointe Dr. #110). This seasonal takeover continues through the end of the month, and you don’t have to be a loving couple to share the special Tacos Para El Corazon heart-shaped street taco platter ($30) with your choice of six street tacos. Specialty cocktails like the Love Bug and Devil’s Potion (both $12) round out the fun. (thecantina247.com)

One more tasty deal: Jinya Ramen Bar’s Ladle of Love special offers two bowls of some of our favorite ramen in Las Vegas for $26, available every Tuesday in February. It’ll warm more than just your heart. (jinyaramenbar.com)
