Not everyone can just jet off to their dream destination at the drop of a hat, with everything from family commitments to work getting in the way.

Therefore, it is sometimes nice to bring the best parts of a destination to your home patch.

London is the sort of city that has microcosms of other cities lodged within it. Chinatown allows you to imagine that you’re in the back streets of Beijing, while Brick Lane brings all the spicy scents of Delhi to your flaring nostrils.

However, one city which takes a little more effort to recreate is Las Vegas, the gaming capital of the world, which people still view as the go-to place to revel and make merry in.

Here are some of the ways you can recreate Sin City without ever setting foot in Heathrow or Gatwick airports.

Start Your Las Vegas Day With A Hearty Breakfast

Anyone who has visited Sin City will know how much the jewel of the desert values breakfast, with almost every hotel resort and restaurant on the strip offering a mouth-watering buffet-style morning feast.

The Breakfast Club at London Bridge serves an all you can eat experience to match any Vegas canteen, with more pancakes than you can shake a fork at and bottomless milkshakes that will keep you fuelled for a week, let alone a day.

VivaVegas Brings That Las Vegas Casino Feel to Your Doorstep

If none of the fixed venues on this list quite bring enough of that Las Vegas ambiance for your liking, then perhaps you should give the services provided by VivaVegas a try.

They are a company who specialise in transforming your home or office into a fully functioning casino, providing everything from professional dealers to casino games like roulette and blackjack that look and feel every bit like those you would find on the Las Vegas strip

Their services are so well thought of that even movie producers and directors from across the capital use VivaVegas if they wish to include a scene in a casino or smoky card room, in some cases actively recreating Sin City from the comfort of Peckham or Green Lanes. Of course, if office HR do not approve of a Las Vegas-style party in the office, the other easy way to play equally Las Vegas-esque casino games is via online casinos, where there are ready-made live roulette tables and other casino staples to enjoy.

Recreate the Bar Scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Everyone remembers the iconic scene where Johnny Depp is surrounded by Las Vegas lounge lizards in one of the strip’s hotels, and even the part where he flicks a tip at a vertically challenged waiter.

One thing is for sure, to bring the Las Vegas experience to London getting some form of drink on will be necessary.

Luckily, the city is packed with American themed bars, many of which serve some of the best cocktails and long drinks in town. The Blues Kitchen in Brixton provides an incredible diner come jazz club vibe, and the Nightjar takes you all the way back to what early Nevada bars might have looked and felt like, as well as creating some pretty wild cocktails.

American Sports Bars

American sport is becoming more and more a part of the Las Vegas landscape with the city recently gaining its very own NHL and NFL franchises.

Whether you are a Golden Knights fanatic or a Raiders follower, there are plenty of American sports bars in London that will give you the best view of the big game.

Bodean’s Smokehouse and Belushi’s Dugout Sports Bar are two places that will never disappoint an avid American sports fan.
