If you visit Las Vegas, you probably expect to spend some time in the casino, but you’ll find plenty of other things to do as well. When you need a break from the tables, you’ll find there’s no shortage of choices for sightseeing, exploring and having fun.
On the Strip, you’ll find fountains, volcanoes, fabulous shows, gondola rides and the High Roller, the world’s highest observation wheel. Downtown, you can stop in at the Fremont Street Experience to marvel at the canopy’s nighttime Viva Vision show, or make a visit to the Mob Museum, where you can learn about organized crime, an undeniable part of the city’s history.
The weather in Las Vegas tends to be moderate for most of the year (with the notable exception of summer), which makes outside activities an option most of the time. Outdoor sports like hiking, biking and tennis are very popular. Take a drive out of town to see historic Hoover Dam, or hike over the red sandstone in Red Rock Canyon. Las Vegas isn’t the only thing in the Mojave Desert, and you’ll find plenty of options for day trips into the surrounding area.
