Las Vegas Things to Do

Pool parties are iconic Vegas. There’s little else that speaks to the lifestyle of this desert city of sin than cooling off with a drink in your hand, sunglasses on your face, and a DJ spinning out the year’s greatest tunes poolside. If you’re looking for a howling good time, a place to see and be seen by the world’s beautiful people, or a place just to wash the previous night away with a cocktail in your hand, a Las Vegas Pool Party is the best way to do it. Here are some of my favorite ones.

The list of Las Vegas oddities is long indeed: drive-through wedding chapels, an unnatural amount of Elvis sightings, a pyramid, an Eiffel Tower, rivers amidst shopping malls, a mob history – these eccentricities of the city are part of what make it exciting. And as a visitor, you can get a good taste of what it is to be a part of this excitement at one of the many unusual yet distinct Las Vegas museums.

When it comes to Vegas, it’s all about the glamour and glitz. Known for the strip and its thousands of flashbulbs, the sparkling neon, the twirling signs and architecturally fantastic hotels, Las Vegas is truly a spectacle to behold. But when it comes to doing just that – beholding the spectacle that is Las Vegas, where’s the best place to do it? Where can you look out over all the grandeur of this glittering dessert jewel and see it all?

Talk about juxtaposition─the journey by plane from the staggering artificiality of the Las Vegas Strip to the jaw-dropping spectacle of the Grand Canyon is one transition that underlines the vivid allure that each has to offer in its own unique way. Air tours of the Canyon‘s west rim make it possible to take in the [...]

There’s no doubt about it: there’s plenty to do in Las Vegas. So much so that all the sights and sounds can distract you and get a bit confusing. What’s the difference between the old strip and the new strip? What’s the Golden Nugget and where did Frank Sinatra sing again? Is there still a Sahara? Where did we park? If you’re new to Las Vegas, I recommend taking the trouble out of your stay and checking out a Hop-on Hop-off Tour.

While the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip entices tourists from far and wide to try their hand with lady luck, there is actually a lot more to do and see in Vegas than its colorful television campaigns would give it credit for. The varied and diverse array of museums available stands out as one avenue of tourism often overlooked.

Found yourself in Las Vegas for a couples’ retreat? Don’t know where to turn? Fear not. The City of Sin need not be all wild late-night revelry. You’ll soon find that Vegas is not really interested in decadence (though its nickname does suggest otherwise). What Las Vegas is really interested in is accommodation, and if you’re a love-struck couple looking to get away, no place can accommodate like Las Vegas.

One of the most beautiful sites in Nevada and best national parks in the country, El Dorado Canyon is a rock climber and hikers dream. Complete with scenic places to have a picnic, fish or just stroll, you will never forget the towering mountains of this natural wonderment, and on this spanning tour it gets the more better, as you do it on a state of the art ATV.

Jenny and I had been in Las Vegas for 3 days already, and had done the whole tourist thing. We had wandered the strip for days, visited the casinos, the restaurants, the hotels.
