From bars to nightclubs to strip clubs, Las Vegas was made for anyone who likes to party to the wee hours of the morning. A lot of people get anxious going to any of these places alone, but you’re bound to find others who are here on vacation or by themselves just like you. After a few drinks you’ll be having a great time. Check out our Nightlife section for more details.
Perhaps the coolest is the Bodies Exhibit inside the Luxor. These are real human bodies donated and preserved so that all of the inner-workings are visible. It’s educational, not scary, but don’t let the “educational” part scare you away either, it really is a must see. Madame Tussaud’s is an amazing wax museum located in the Venetian and has over 100 of the most realistic wax sculptures you’ve ever seen. “Titanic” is also within the Luxor, and features artifacts and recreations of the famed ship. If art is your thing, check out the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. In addition to these, you’ll find many more exhibits and attractions in our Entertainment section.
