Vegas: What to Do

In a word, gamble. But I’m assuming you want to step outside the box here. If you don’t, you don’t need my help: you can’t throw a rock without hitting a casino on the strip!

But assuming you’re looking for an activity other than gambling, there are many things to do:

• Try a helicopter ride at night
• Climb to the top of the Stratosphere and experience a ride that threatens to
tip you right over the edge
• Take in one of Vegas’ many shows: Cirque du Soleil, comedians, music,magic:
it’s all there for the choosing
• Visit the Imax theatre in the Luxor
• Take in the variety of shops and attractions in the strip hotels (ranging
from lions to a light-and-laser show)
• Visit the circus at – where else? – Circus Circus
• Try the interactive Star Trek experience at the Hilton: even if you’re not a
fan of science fiction, it’s worth a visit
• Take a day trip to the Hoover Dam
• Head downtown to check out the evening light show
• Visit The Golden Nugget, Vegas’ first casino
• Lounge by the pool or head to the spa for a massage and facial treatment
• Check out the collection of classic cars at the Imperial Palace
• Shop, shop, shop! Vegas has a huge collection of malls and shops, some of
them with surprisingly good deals and interesting merchandise!
• Ride a gondola through the canals of Venice at the Venetian

As you can see, there’s a lot more to Vegas than casinos. If you’re looking for a holiday that will keep your entire family amused, you could do worse than to consider Sin City – even if you tuck the sin away!
