I put a spell on you. And now? You’re going to try everything on this Halloween bucket list. And if you do, tag us on Instagram @hauteliving and use the hashtag #hautelivingween.

This past weekend, I visited some fun and amazing places partaking in the Halloween spirit in your honor. Love when establishments get into the spirit because it’s nice to see a little magic and touch from the every day routine. And, when they loosen up they reminds us to loosen up and have fun too. Those places were the muses behind this must try Las Vegas Halloween 2018 bucket list, so reach for your nearest sense of adventure, fly solo or round up some friends, and check-mark some, if not all, of these off. Don’t forget to bookmark and check back for updates.
