The 10 Best Things to do in Downtown, 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.

The singing, dancing, costumes, orchestra, sound and lighting are professional in every way. I’ve seen performances on Broadway in NYC that easily compare, but not from a High School Production! The talent is AMAZING, earned a rousing standing ovation, and 5 Stars from this critic!

We had to cancel our 30th Anniversary trip to Venice, Italy due to Covid-19 so we thought that the next best thing we could do was to spend the day at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Then I decided to do a vow renewal with Elvis. After watching a couple of videos on YouTube, I knew hands down that the Elvis at Elvis Chapel was the one I wanted. After I contacted them to pick a time on the date of our Anniversary, they advised that the only time they had left was 4:00 pm. That happened to be the exact time we were married 30 years prior! This was one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had and Elvis made my husband and I feel very special. He was top notch and didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. His singing voice and facial expressions were spot on. Nasim, the photographer, who also checked us in, explained the process, and set up the video had her hands full but never made us feel rushed or pressured in any way. She was very professional and I have to tell you, we ended up with quite a few photos that are so good, we will enlarge them. There is no doubt that this was one of the best decisions we made and you will not be disappointed by selecting the Elvis Chapel. Thanks again Elvis and Nasim!

Your Elvis Experience begins when you see the Beautiful Mint Condition 1956 Pink Cadillac pull up to the main valet of your hotel. In the car I will be playing and singing Elvis songs the whole time you are in the car. The first highlight of your Elvis Experience will be the Fabulous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign where I will perform many of Elvis’s greatest hits. I will provide cold drinks for everyone while you enjoy the show. Then I will point out the Wedding Chapel that Elvis and Ann-Margret came out of at the end of the movie “Viva Las Vegas” when they got married. Then we will swing past Elvis’s hotel The Westgate, formally the International/ Las Vegas Hilton/LVH hotel. This is where Elvis Performed 837 sold out performances. I will tell you all about the Elvis related things that are going on there. Then we will continue past the world famous Wedding Chapel Row, which has many famous Elvis theme wedding chapels. Then I will take you down the center of the Famous Fremont St. Experience, and tell you all about everything that is going on down there. The Elvis Experience ends as I wave goodbye to you back at your hotel. My Elvis Experience is about 2 hours long from start to finish. 1 to 5 people can book this experience together, there is no min. Every person will receive a “Fun Pack” which will include a signed 8×10 color picture of myself and the Pink Cadillac, a pair of Elvis shades, a pair of Fuzzy Dice, and exact copy of Elvis and Priscilla’s wedding License. This will be the best experience you will have while in Las Vegas!! TCB!!

Las Vegas' only non-profit children's museum. The mission of DISCOVERY Children’s Museum is to provide a vibrant and engaging experience, through exhibits and programs, where children from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds actively participate in playful learning experiences that ignite a love of lifelong learning.

If you are a family visiting Las Vegas, we highly recommend this activity. Probably best for children from ages 2 through 10. There are three floors with a myriad of interactive activities that will stimulate the mind. And for slightly older children, they can pretty much roam free and without any worries. And if smaller children get lost, the staff are really excellent at detecting this and tracking down anxious parents. There is no restaurant on site so bringing food or a picnic is probably a good idea. You can eat outside and they will permit reentry if you give them the heads up. They also validate parking. And all of the staff were very polite and pleasant. Also, watch out for entry discounts. Standard tickets are approximately $14 but you can get greatly reduced rates, to approximately three dollars come if you have WIC or similar cards.

We absolutely loved the Neon Museum - we did General Admission for the Boneyard with the special Tim Burton elements and we also did the Brilliant light show. The Brilliant light show was fun, but I preferred walking through the main area and having the opportunity to take a lot of photos and really take in the history. We used the app and that was very cool; there were also some docents posted around that also provided information if you want it. I thought the whole exhibit was very well organized - from the check-in to each section and how they lead you around. We did have a car so that made it easy to get there and back from the strip. Definitely recommend going at night! On a side note - we wanted to have dinner somewhere local/not on the strip and asked the people at the help desk for recommendations. They pointed us towards Casa Don Juan and it was really great - so extra thanks to the person at the desk that gave us that information!

My wife and I enjoyed this Chapel for various reason:Its by Freemont St. Where there's tons of activities going on, The office where you receive your marriage license as well, and hotels that are within blocks. The Minister and his wife are great people, funny, very energetic, and really give you that welcome vibe like as if they know you with confidence/trust. The decorations inside and out are nicely setup and it really popped out in our photos ????. You will enjoy the the price for the ceremony. Btw.. I didn't even notice the sounds from the traffic or people in the surroundings.

This chap in his entirety is a blast from the past - from a Las Vegas of yesteryear but an individual that I daresay is recognised around the world. A neon man who appears better and more impressive when lit (don't we all !!??) but is a preserved piece of enduring history that continues to be relevant and show off Downtown Vegas to best effect to this very day. Well done Vic !!
