Things to do in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

October 9, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

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 Strip

Reviewed By DaveFleck - Toronto, Canada

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.

Our Bellagio Wedding was, truly, a Storybook Tale come to life. Every second, every detail, proved magical, exquisite, and heartrendingly beautiful. Hearts were opened, spirits soared, tears were evoked. Love was always in the air. None of this could have taken place were it not for the superb work done behind the scenes by the staff. From the first moment of contact until the last, we were impressed by their care for our wishes, their attention to detail, and their enthusiastic support for our vision. Most importantly, they shouldered responsibilities, and made the project -- yes, weddings are projects! -- simple, straightforward, seamless and actually enjoyable. We wanted to offer our guests a ceremony and reception that would touch their hearts and live in their memories, and the Bellagio fully accommodated our wishes. Our January wedding took place on the Terazza overlooking the Fountains, which took to flight in song and spectacle as we were joined in matrimony. We followed with a cocktail reception and dinner at The Mayfair Supper Club, a magical place every day of the year, immersing guests in a peerless dining, design and entertainment experience. Our guests found the day, "breathtaking" from start to finish. The wedding planners, the restaurant coordinator, the Mayfair's manager, chef, cake creators and kitchen staff, servers, bartenders, and the spectacular Band, all made us feel welcome and, indeed, part of their Bellagio family. The Bellagio photography people, associated with Cashman, stunned us with the their photographs and videos. And, very stunning, all of this was provided at the most reasonable of costs. If you value magic, beauty and love, and want a wedding experience so exquisite that it will live in your, and your guests', hearts and memories always, go to the Bellagio.

The iconic volcano at The Mirage goes on every hour starting at 6pm until 11pm and you are able to watch it from the strip. We were fortunate to have had a view from our room to watch the show. It last several minutes but it is definitely cool to watch!

Paris Las Vegas

Reviewed By World_Traveler_W_Rod

We stayed July 10-12, 2020. Thermal temps at registration. Easy check in with Kiosk. Room with view of pool, which was very clean. Casino very Covid responsible. They had big white buckets of sturdy wipes for you to clean your own slot machines, plenty of hand sanitizer stations throughout the casino, enforced EVERYONE to wear masks at ALL times, dealers wore masks and shields, 3 people allowed at tables and only 6 people at craps. Observers had to stand 6 ft behind. The negatives are that you must plan where and when to eat. Most restaurants are not open, retail etc. The pizza place, coffee shop, pre-made sandwich place were open. We went to other places in search of food. But know you'll have difficulties with other hotels. We did go to the Wynn for their buffet, which was excellent. The minimum bets on the strip are at least $15.00 at the lowest, but most are $25.00. Be prepared! Also, know which casinos are open ahead of time. Careful when you book. Make sure the casino is ACTUALLY open. We booked at Bally' which was not open. We got moved to Paris 3 day before we arrived. We loved Paris, but know it is happening. In terms of housekeeping, it is standard right now across states not to be serviced daily. That's just the way it is. So look at your agreement ahead of time. Finally, maybe it's just me, but all slots on the strip seemed tight.

CityCenter Las Vegas

Reviewed By n4o1r3m5e2 - Crystal Lake, United States

Since my husband and I each love a different hotel/casino on either side of Vidara we decided to try Vidara as a compromise. What a fab choice. We could walk to either casino easily and as a plus the room at Vidara was large with a nice kitchenette. Vidara has no casino and the break from the noise and crowds was surprisingly very pleasant. There is a no smoking policy and a lovely lounge to relax in. We thought it couldn’t get better but at checkout we were assisted by Kevin who was just the most pleasant and patient ( we are technology impaired to say the least) young man and sealed our resolve to return.
