Are you planning a trip to Las Vegas? What are the must-do activities on your itinerary? Well, if you’re a first-time visitor, there are at least ten things you can do right away to make your Las Vegas experience better. Check them out below:
1. Stay in a Hotel or Casino with Nearby Attractions
You could spend your entire vacation on the Las Vegas Strip and not experience a 1/5 of what it offers. There’s the Fashion Show Mall, M&M World, Adventuredome, fine dining spots, world-class casinos, vibrant bars, nightclubs full of sexy people, and about a million more things to see and do. So, stay at a property on the Strip. That way, you are tucked between tons of activities and can visit Downtown as often as you want.
2. Blow Up a Car at Adrenaline Mountain
Adrenaline Mountain is about 45 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. It’s an extreme adventure park for any thrill-seeking visitor. Here, you get to drive monster trucks, take an off-road UTV/ATV tour, or shoot with machine guns. Also, you can participate in axe throwing, archery, or digging with heavy equipment.
3. Have an Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas
Paris Las Vegas is an iconic 46-story hotel overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. It’s shaped like the Eiffel Tower. Climb the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck on a day excursion for a 360-degree view of Sin City. Better still; sample Las Vegas beers at the Beer Park. Then, end your trip with a late-night experience at Château Nightclub.
4. Have a Winter Experience at the Minus5 Ice Bar
Are you feeling worn out from a day out in the Las Vegas sun? Go to the Minus5 Ice Bar at Mandalay Place and immerse yourself in a winter wonderland experience. Minus5 Ice Bar is a one-of-a-kind ice bar comprising interactive ice sculptures with a cumulative weight of up to 90 tons. The ice bar serves frozen specialty cocktails and jello shots in drinking glasses carved from ice! Kids are welcome, so there are tasty non-alcoholic drinks too.
5. Go on a 3-Hour Foodie Tour
6. Have a Family-Themed Excursion
Are you touring Las Vegas with the kids? If so, there are tons of activities to get you bonding. Like, did you know you could go skydiving indoors in Las Vegas? Indeed, visit Vegas Indoor Skydiving for thrill-packed flying through a wind tunnel. All participants go through a safety orientation and training. Plus, they receive a specialist flight suit, helmet, and goggles.
Other family-themed activities include swimming with the sharks at the Golden Nugget, an educational tour at Arcadia Earth, and riding the 550-foot Ferris Wheel at The LINQ High Roller Observation Wheel.
7. See Rare Books, Autographs & Collectible Documents at the Bauman’s Rare Books
Are you a bookworm? If so, increase your knowledge by examining rare books and autographs at Bauman’s Rare Books in the Grand Canal Shoppes. Indeed, who would have guessed amidst all the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip is a gorgeous bookstore?
8. Marvel at the Seven Magic Mountains
If you love art, visit the Seven Magic Mountains, a free public art exhibition 10 miles outside Las Vegas. When Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone installed the artwork for a two-year run, he never foresaw the massive popularity it would attract locally and internationally.
9. Get Cake, Art Pieces, & Champagne from Vending Machines
As you crisscross the streets and enter the shopping malls and casinos of Las Vegas, stop at some of the cool vending machines along the way. We are talking about buying desserts from a dedicated vending machine near the escalators, fist-sized artwork from Art-o-Mat vending machine in The Cosmopolitan, and a personal-size champagne bottle from a vending machine at the Sand Dollar LV in the Plaza. The LINQ has a fresh pizza vending machine, while its promenade has one from the Cake Boss.
10. Joy Ride in a Super Car of Your Dreams
Finally, go racing down the Las Vegas Strip in a supercar of your choice at Speed Vegas. You get five laps in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, or Audi R8 without any speed limits. The exotic racetrack is 15 minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip. It has large runoff areas, TecPro safety barriers, and professional instructors to guarantee your safety.
