Vegas Without the Jet Lag: How to Experience the Magic of Las Vegas Right Here in Yorkshire
If you want to experience the wonders of Vegas, without having to travel halfway across the world, then there are a lot of local experiences you won’t want to miss out on. From Crab Manor’s Vegas-inspired rooms to Legends in Vegas and more, there really are more opportunities than ever for you to experience the city without going far from home.
Experiencing Vegas in North Yorkshire
If you want somewhere to stay in Yorkshire over the coming weeks, then Crab Manor Hotel is currently advertising rooms at a discounted rate. With January being off-peak, hotels across the UK tend to offer low rates, but for this luxury hotel, the price is a steal for anyone who wants to get away after the festive period. One of the most unique rooms you can stay in is called the Bellagio Luxury Bedroom, with a Vegas theme that is both glamorous and unapologetic. The Bellagio Room at Crab Manor Hotel immediately whisks you away to Vegas, with the design laid out in such a way that it emulates the luxury appeal of the Bellagio. You can expect a private hot tub, as well as underfloor heating, air conditioning, and even changeable mood lighting that allows you to experience the high-energy experience of being in Vegas.
The impact of the Bellagio can be felt far beyond Crab Manor Hotel as well. In fact, it’s now possible to play live casino UK games remotely, with games streamed from the Bellagio itself. Live Bellagio Roulette is a live dealer game that uses the roulette wheels in the esteemed casino, meaning people in the UK can not only stay in a hotel modelled after the establishment, but they can also take part in the casino games offered, meaning being immersed in the iconic Vegas establishment, without even leaving the house.
Upcoming Events Themed Around Las Vegas
If you live in Yorkshire, then you will be glad to know that there are also a number of upcoming events themed around Vegas. Halifax often hosts events and has previously been one of the stops for The Las Vegas Experience. This is a show that brings all of the magic of Vegas to the UK. You can expect a 12-piece band, as well as performances that help you to experience the city without travelling too far. Although dates have yet to be announced for 2026, every year there’s a stop in Yorkshire, so stay tuned for the formal announcement, which should be happening in the coming months. Another event is Legends in Vegas, which is taking place at St George’s Hall in Bradford. The event is happening on the 5th of November, 2026, and is said to emulate the experience of Vegas perfectly.
You can also try out simulations on YouTube, many of which are available in VR. These allow you to walk down the Vegas Strip remotely, using your headset to navigate your way around the busy streets. Many Vegas hotels also allow you to take advantage of remote walkthroughs, so you can feel as though you’re there, even though you’re not. Advancements like this make it easier to enjoy Vegas all year round, without leaving Yorkshire.
