Created out of the Mojave Desert with amusement in mind, Las Vegas was meant to be a getaway. Every year, millions of tourists go to this city in Nevada to relax, eat, shop, witness performances, experience the nightlife, watch a sports event, and, of course, try their luck at the gaming tables. View the greatest attractions in Las Vegas that are just waiting for you.
Exploring the Las Vegas Strip
The Strip, the main thoroughfare in Las Vegas, is where the action starts. It is home to frantic casinos, top-notch dining establishments, elaborately constructed resorts, and amazing entertainment. After taking a picture at South Las Vegas Boulevard’s renowned “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, go off on your travels. Get ready for an exhilarating 108-story controlled free fall at SkyJump at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower, or spend the day observing marine life at the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. The three-story Chandelier Bar at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is the perfect place to take a breather. It has specialty beverages and its own multi-story visual extravaganza. You can test the waters at the festive LIQUID Pool Lounge at ARIA Resort & Casino, or for a more relaxing sojourn, take tea at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Tea Lounge high above the Strip. End your evening with a meal and a great view at Lakeside at Wynn Las Vegas.
Beyond Las Vegas Boulevard
An equal amount of pleasure awaits you off the Strip. Try the SlotZilla zip lines in Downtown Las Vegas, located under the Fremont Street Experience’s Viva Vision video canopy. Overlooking all the activity of Fremont Street below, passengers on the top line “fly.” Stadium Swim is another amenity of Circa Resort & Casino in addition to the stores, flashing lights, and nightly performances. Open all year round, the heated pool amphitheater lets guests enjoy a great swim while watching the greatest sports events on a gigantic 143-foot screen. Favorite spots in Downtown Las Vegas also include the dynamic atmosphere of the Commonwealth, the Downtown Container Park, the cozy Downtown Cocktail Room, and LONGBAR at The D Las Vegas. Live music is available at The Front Yard at Ellis Island Hotel, Casino & Brewery, which is located a little closer to the Strip. The Orleans Hotel and Casino offers southern hospitality and cuisine, and the Palace Station Hotel Casino’s Oyster Bar offers live seafood produced right in front of your eyes, every day of the week.
Nature and Culture
Get away from the city lights and enjoy some hiking, bicycling, and climbing in the adjacent Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. After that, indulge yourself to a spa treatment at Red Rock Casino Resort Spa. Grand Canyon whitewater rafting is accessible from Las Vegas, along with year-round golf and sand dunes dune buggy excursions. Visit The Neon Museum to see the signs that once graced the hotels and casinos in Las Vegas. The Mob Museum (see out The Underground Speakeasy & Distillery in the basement), the National Atomic Testing Museum, and the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art will all pique your attention.
