Top 10 Things to do in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV)
Whether you’re a high roller or a low-key lounger, Las Vegas has something to suit your vacation taste. Sample fare from top chefs and cornucopian buffets, try your luck at one of the world’s premier casinos, or take in a spectacular show. Just wandering the Strip is enough to get your heart pumping. Once you’ve had enough of the razzle-dazzle, wave hello to the toothy sea life at the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef, hike Red Rock Canyon, or visit the Neon Museum, where old signs take on new life.

Spent half a day in this park in January when we wanted to get out of Vegas and do some hiking and exploring. The park fee for a vehicle day pass is $15 and well worth the time spent here. It was just over 60 degrees so plenty comfortable for us northerners and we wore shorts with a long sleeve top, had on sunscreen and carried water on our hikes. There is a 13 mile one way scenic loop which you can drive through and see plenty just stopping at the overlooks. There are also many hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult with a variety of elevation rises and lengths that you can choose from to see petroglyphs, hidden falls, scenic views and nature’s beauty more close up. The guide which you can access online or pick up in paper form has a map and very good descriptions of all scenic views, overlooks and hiking trails. Be aware that if you plan to rely on your phone, service is not reliable throughout the park. I recommend arriving early to beat the crowds especially on weekends or when the weather is more inviting. There is a visitor and information building with bathrooms and some information on the park and animals and land but stop on your way in because with a one-way route you won’t have another opportunity. We spent about 4 hours in the park and hit a few of the highlights, stopped at the scenic overlooks and hiked 4 different trails. Check park hours as well because they vary with the seasons. We will be back to explore the area more but the time we spent gave us time to explore the park and hit the highlights.

this is the first time I went up to the observation deck and it was amazing .. BEST PLACE for sunset for sure!!! and if you are a thrill seeker, you can bungy off the side or ride the slider that takes you off the side of the top of the Stratosphere -just plain crazy to watch but alot of people did it- you ride up the elevator at 21 miles and hour - a must see
3. The Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is simply amazing to see. My first time in Vegas Amazing people watching Amazing photography Amazing shopping Amazing Restaurants/Food Amazing Casinos (Many of course) Amazing Shows/Entertainment Bring comfortable running shoes as the strip is massif. You could not possibly walk the entire strip and see everything in one day. Don't forget to check out one of the most amazing and only free things on the strip The Bellagio Fountains Show The Strip is divided up into 3 sections South, Central and North Yes the strip is that large. Bring lots of money or credit as everything is very expensive on Las Vegas Strip. We will be coming back to Las Vegas Strip many more times and would recommend to anyone to see the Las Vegas Strip at least once in their life as there is nowhere else in the world like this. You don't need to be a gambler to visit Las Vegas as there is so much to see and do however if you do gamble you will be in heaven.

We really enjoyed this place; the movie was interesting, memorabilia and presentation engaging, and photo ops totally fun - for example, there’s a place for you to sit on an electric chair and your friend can pull the lever next to the chair. Would suggest it.
10. High Roller
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25,114 reviews
Measuring 520 feet in diameter, the High Roller eclipses both the London Eye and Singapore Flyer. Facing north and south parallel to Las Vegas Boulevard, the wheel takes 30 minutes to complete one full revolution and features 28 glass-enclosed cabins with broad views of Las Vegas and the Strip. Each spherical cabin can hold up to 40 people, with benches on either side of the cabin and plenty of floor space in between-but we imagine you'll want to stand and admire the view. Sight-seeing isn't all that the High Roller has to offer. Take in the best views of Las Vegas from inside a High Roller Happy Half Hour cabin. Your ticket includes one 30-minute ride and an open bar inside the cabin! Allow your body and mind to soar 550 feet in the sky above the Las Vegas Strip in a unique and personalized yoga session with a professional instructor. Or experience a one-of-a-kind sky high chocolate tasting experience paired with your choice of wine!
