The only Las Vegas: Sin City, America’s gambling paradise where even brothels, at least in some districts of the city, are still allowed. Doubtful couples may marry a priest dressed as Elvis, who sings their wedding vows. You can even have an impromptu Elvis-style bar or bat mitzvah. In fact, from burlesque dance company stage shows to Elton John, the Blue Man Group, David Copperfield, and over a million and one variety shows that happen daily, similar to what you’d find on Broadway in New York City. From York to Incredible casinos lavishly appointed with presidential suites, indoor amusement parks and even gondola rides, Las Vegas has something for everyone. A city that was created by the outlandish understanding of notorious gangster Bugsy Siegel, who was later killed when his first casino was slow to ferment. Just don’t forget to check out these top places on your must-see list when you’re in Las Vegas. And remember: what happens here, according to many, stays here.
Fountains at Bellagio: Perhaps some of the best known of all the landmarks in this gambler’s paradise are these amazing fountains. These jets of water span over a thousand feet and can shoot geysers of water into the air over 250 feet high. They are also choreographed to music. The best time of day to visit the incredible fountains is at night, when they are illuminated with changing colours, a true spectacle for all.
Fremont Street: Perhaps Las Vegas’ Time’s Square, this street features nearly as many lights and consumes around 540,000 watts of power just to operate. Of course, night is the best time of the day to stroll along this street, which also offers plenty of shops and restaurants and many other nighttime events and activities. Be sure to add this street to your list of must see places as it is simply stunning.
Circus Circus Adventuredome Theme Park: One of the best places to visit when you’re on the Strip. This full-featured amusement park is one of the largest indoor amusement parks in the world; this place is just amazing. Decked out with tons of rides and vendors, and plenty of activities to keep you entertained for hours. Or to keep the kids entertained while the adults play and play.
Lion Habitat at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino – Don’t forget to visit this impressive lion habitat that is home to some of nature’s most ferocious carnivores. The habitat they live in consists of several levels and you can usually see lion cubs being pampered by their parents, depending on the time of year you travel to Las Vegas.
Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat – Most of the locals actually consider this to be the official zoo of the city because you can see all kinds of wild animals here, not just the dolphins. However, if you really want an experience comparable to Sea World when traveling to Las Vegas, this is the place to stop and visit. Set aside a few hours, because you won’t want to leave any time soon.
