A List of the Best Las Vegas Must-Sees

Las Vegas Must-Sees

A list of Las Vegas must-sees will furnish perspective to any curious Las Vegas visitor. It’s a daunting task to pick from the huge variety of shows, casinos, and attractions in Sin City. This list presents only the most iconic, enjoyable, and stunning attractions in Southern Nevada.

On Strip Entertainment.

The Las Vegas Strip is a part of Las Vegas Boulevard cluttered with world-class entertainment options. It runs North-South in the approximate center of the Las Vegas Valley. While the literal ends of the Strip vary from person to person, it is normal to begin with Mandalay Bay at Russel Road, which is what drivers from California see first, and end with the Sahara and Stratosphere casinos at Sahara Avenue, in the North. Buses, taxis, and walking areas abound on the Strip, so generally a car is easy to go without. Attractions like the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Rio, and the Palms are not actually on the Strip, but are close enough to be thought of as pieces of it.

A Fantastic Swimming Pool.
In July and August, when temperatures can explode your thermometor, a swimming pool becomes a lifesaver. Las Vegas is the best place for pool. Select from this shortlist:

For the biologist: The Tank, at the Fremont Street Experience, is the most original and special swimming pool currently in Sin City. A two-story aquarium sits in the middle, filled with sharks, a waterslide, and other ocean life. Swimmers and water sliders can stare at sharks from in the water or out, through a plexiglass separator. Above the main level, a separate pool for adults only provides a resting place for European sunbathers. And drinks and cards surround the area

For the beautiful partygoer: Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino was the first pool party in Vegas, and is still the champion of crazy, poolside action. Don’t go to relax, save money, or lay out. Do go to be a part of the wild side of daylife.

For the beach lover: The Beach at Mandalay bay is huge: A sandy beach, a wave pool, a lazy river, a separate topless area, restaurants, bars, and cabanas. It contains four pools total spread out over11 acres, in addition to a running track and jetted hot tubs. Overall the best place to get sun in Sin City, but busy on Saturday and Sunday.

For Consumers:

The Forum Shops at CaesarsSee for yourself what the mall with the most earnings per square foot in America looks like. The Forum Shops was The original reason people came to Las Vegas to shop, and is still the best.

For Children:

The Adventuredome at Circus Circus has been where kids want to go in Las Vegas since the ’90s. The 5 acre theme park is filled with rides and food. Admission is free, and groups of ride tickets are available to suit every need.

Off the Strip:

Some Las Vegas attractions are far enough away to require a car, and at least one is not even in Nevada.

For Everyone:

The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign:
While technically the Strip, the attraction is about half a mile of dull city street away from the closest casino, Mandalay Bay. The hotel The Four Seasons is a little closer. Hardy pedestrians can take the hike South to the sign, but be warned that it is just a walk, with none of the excitement that make strolling the heart of the Strip so enjoyable.It’s better to drive to the sign, but even that has its hazards. The sign is right in the center of Las Vegas Boulevard, a very active road. The parking lot connected to the sign has ten parking spaces for cars, two for buses or limousines, and two handicapped spaces. On busy days, more spaces are needed.. The amount of people entering this parking lot can grow long and untidy.
Those who want to see the Sign, but don’t really need to take their picture under it, should have their copilot take the photo from the car as they drive by. This will be an easier way to get the shot. Those who absolutely need to get their picture by it should consider the alternative: a “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” replica, erected on Boulder Highway just north of Tropicana Avenue. This optional sign sees far less traffic than the original.

Fremont Street

Also going by the names Downtown, Old Las Vegas, and the Fremont Street Experience, the section of Fremont Street between Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard is the original home of Las Vegas gambling. The most historic , the Golden Gate (Est. 1906!), is still open on Fremont. Fremont Street is about two miles North of Sahara Avenue, so walking from the active part of the Strip will wear your feet out.
The Fremont Street experience is a 10-story tall, 4-block long curved ceiling embedded with 2.1 million lights. After dark, the light pulsate to the sounds of classic rock or country. The shops, casinos, hotels, and carts that share this space all combine to create a totally unique entertainment space. This is the most excellent place to get a picture taken with a showgirl, enjoy a cheap and unhealthy meal, and see the strangest mix of people in the world.

The Hoover Dam

The most popular dam in America is free every day for the curious. About 45 minutes from the heart of the city, the Dam is accessible via highway 95. Drivers will go East from central Las Vegas, on any major street or highway, then South on the 95 through Henderson and Boulder City. Go left onto Highway 93 in Boulder City, and continue to the Dam.
The Hoover Dam is the biggest dam many travelers will ever see. Since 1936, guests have stared 726 feet down into the Colorado River where it comes out of the spillways.

The Grand Canyon

Actually in Arizona, the Grand Canyon sees more visitors from Las Vegas than anywhere else. Tourists often use Vegas as the jumping-off point to see the West, traveling to Death Valley, the Canyon, and Zion nation park from this one city.
The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is half a morning’s drive away by car, making it a great day trip. Helicopter tours to the Canyon require only a few hours to view the scenery. The South Rim, six hours away by car, is more of a commitment. The North Rim, also six hours away, is the deepest part,, closed during the winter. Facts:
Tourist vists/year: 38 million

Public Transportation Costs: The Deuce bus: $7/day pass, $3/two-hour pass.
Monorail: $12/day pass, $5/one way.

Average Temperature: Summer 103 F (39 C)
Winter 61 F (15 C)

Hotel Room Rates: $50 – $10,000

Cost of a lightbulb in the Luxors’ apex: $1,200

La La and Sin City – What to do?

I am 25 years old girl visiting Los Angeles for 5 nights and Las Vegas for 5 nights in the middle of September with my best friend. We see the shows (Hills etc.) and imagine it to be like that but we fear/hope? that it isnt ALL like that – what activities, theme parks, restaurants, nightlife would you recommend to ensure we have the dream holiday we hope it will be? We live in London and as we work in football we get to be involved in all the latest events, bars etc. here so hope to emulate and better our experiences here, in the States. Thanks very much for any advice you can offer

Ride on the Las Vegas Strip

Drive on the Las Vegas Boulevard (The Strip) to southbound. Location north area.

If you had to rank the “best big cities” in America, what would your list look like?

I’m doing this research b/c I’m thinking of moving and I want to live in an area that offers big city living. I think the ideal “big city” not only has a large, dense population with a sprawling metro area, but also great nightlife/culture and restaurants, a bustling job market, big time sports, a “global city” reputation w/ lots of diversity, good public transportation and is also a tourist destination. With these parameters in mind, I created a five-tiered list of my own that classifies U.S. cities in terms of their urban appeal. Any feedback or arguments? Which cities should have made my list but didn’t?

Tier 1
-New York
-Los Angeles
-Chicago

Tier 2
-Boston
-San Francisco
-Washington, DC
-Miami
-Dallas

Tier 3
-Houston
-Philadelphia
-Atlanta
-Seattle
-San Diego

Tier 4
-Denver
-Phoenix
-Minneapolis
-Baltimore
-Las Vegas
-Detroit

Tier 5
-Pittsburgh
-Cleveland
-Austin
-St Louis
-Portland, OR
-Charlotte
-Nashville
-Milwaukee
-New Orleans

Las Vegas Hotels ? Why Not Stay Downtown Las Vegas

The first thing I must make clear is that there is a difference between downtown Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Strip. The Las Vegas Strip officially known as Las Vegas Blvd, and is a long segment of Nevada state highway that runs through the Vegas Valley.

To make things a little more specific the Las Vegas Strip can be divided into 3 segments. That is the North End, Central Section and South End.

The gaming district of the Las Vegas Strip is about a 4.5 mile stretch of Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos. The North End of Las VegasStrip is about 1.5 miles south of downtown Las Vegas. Thus the very South End of the Las Vegas Strip is about 6 miles from downtown Las Vegas.

Within downtown Las Vegas is a gaming district. This is a small corridor of Las Vegas Hotels and casinos. Most of these properties are within walking distance of each other. This is also known as old Las Vegas. Downtown Las Vegas not only has a gaming district where the downtown Las Vegas hotels and casinos are located. It is like most large city downtowns where you will have courthouses, county jail facility, numerous banks, bus stations and many local government buildings.

There are 12 popular downtown Las Vegas hotels and casinos. They range from luxury upscale properties to average budget minded hotels. The advantage of staying downtown is that you have 10 hotel casino properties that you can easily walk back and forth to. For the most part these properties have everything you will find on the Las Vegas Strip in one tight little area. The convenience and accessibility of the downtown Las Vegas Hotels is tremendous.

Another great advantage of staying in a downtown Las Vegas hotel is price. These properties have some of the most competitive prices in Vegas. That does not mean they lack luxury. The downtown Las Vegas hotels have the same treatment and expectations as any. If you are looking for a bargain on your hotel rates then search downtown Las Vegas hotels and chances are you will find better rates than staying on the Las Vegas Strip.

The only real drawback in staying downtown is that just about all the famous Las Vegas headline entertainment is on the Las Vegas Strip. To make up for that downtown Las Vegas offers the Fremont Street Experience. This is like an outdoor mall with a large lighted canopy containing over 4 million light bulbs. Here is where you can view some of the most incredible musically themed light shows in existence. The best part is these show are free and available every night on top of the hour.

When selecting a Las Vegas hotel to stay at compare the prices and convenience of downtown Las Vegas. Just because you are staying downtown does not mean you can not make a short journey to the famous Las Vegas Strip. Not only are there numerous taxi cabs to take you there but also available the public buses. These buses known as CAT (Citizen Area Transit) buses have a specific route just for the Las Vegas Strip. The Deuce route is filled with Double-decker buses that leave the downtown area every 12 to 30 minutes, (depending on the time of day) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also an express bus with limited stops that serve the Las Vegas Strip.

Off The Rocker Trailer

If you think the Las Vegas nightlife is best left to the young and hip, then you haven’t seen the senior side of The Strip. Five nights a week, deep in the cavernous casinos of Las Vegas, three hundred gowned and sequined seniors show up for cocktails, The Jerry Tiffe Trio, and their fountain of youth: hours and hours of dancing. “Off The Rocker” is a humorous and enlightening forty-eight minute documentary that captures this group of seniors living every last minute of life to the fullest. Their story is a humorous yet poignant portrait of Americana guaranteed to influence your opinion of old age and how you’ll plan to spend it.
