Las Vegas is one of the most exciting cities in the world. What makes it even more fun is that it’s rather easy to get to in the United States thanks to huge numbers of fairly inexpensive flights heading in. Why are flights and hotels relatively cheap? Because they know that there is money to be made from tourists. Putting that aspect of Vegas aside, there’s also a ton of wonderful things to see and do to have a lot of fun while you’re visiting. Whether you’re a fan of artistry or a thrill seeker, you’re sure to have a good time while visiting Las Vegas. This article will look at some of the fun things you can do while you visit Las Vegas. 

1 - Enjoy the Bellagio’s Impressive Attractions

The Bellagio has been one of the preeminent hotels on the Las Vegas strip since it opened. It focused on a luxury atmosphere that had sort of fallen away as Vegas moved to a more family friendly atmosphere at the time. There’s two special things that need to be checked out when you visit the Bellagio. The first is the fountains. The incredible fountain shows happen throughout the day and at night and are a must see event. The other incredible thing at the Bellagio is the Conservatory and Botanical Garden. The botanical garden features a huge number of beautiful desert plants designed in special ways. They often do theme events to celebrate special times like the “Year of the Rat” special display. 

2 - Fremont Street 

Hitting Fremont Street will let you see what was the origins of Vegas before “The Strip” became the main attraction. Fremont Street is located in downtown Vegas and has an incredible overhead light show that you can watch as you walk through the street every single night. It has old classics like Binion’s or the Golden Nugget, but lots of modern shopping that you can go out and enjoy. It also has lots of stores and impressive dining. If you’re feeling frisky, you can take a Segway tour so you can make up more ground as you head around. 

3 - The Neon Museum

When you need a break from the hotels, you can visit one of the most unique and bright museums in the world. The Neon Museum is specifically designed to show off a lot of the unique and historic signage that has been used throughout Las Vegas during the growth of the city. It has a very large outdoor space where you can see the largest signage, as well as some indoor space to show off smaller pieces of sign artwork. 

4 - Take in Some Shows

It’s hard to be specific, because many of the shows change in Las Vegas. However, they tend to break down into a few categories. Musical performances tend to features some of the world’s biggest stars. You can usually find some acts of magic, which are a proper nod to the history of fun Las Vegas shows. There is almost always a CirqueduSoleil show or two in town in one of the hotels, which can give you a sense of wonder and artistry. Finally, consider some live comedy, as many entertainers are in town regularly for good times. 

5 - Hoover Dam

Las Vegas is rather close to Hoover Dam and the Hoover Dam bypass. The Bypass is an impressive 2000 foot long bridge which give a great view of Hoover Dam. The dam of course helps to power a huge amount of the United States. It’s an impressive feat of engineering and has a wonderful view of the Colorado river. Recent water flow issues aside, Hoover Dam is a wonderful thing to see and there are some great tours available to take it in.
