Attractions
There are a few things that you just have to see
while visiting Las Vegas, whether alone or with others. Some of the
more popular free attractions include:
-
Viva Vision – Located Downtown, a
giant screen over all of Fremont Street hosting nightly shows
usually every half an hour.
-
Bellagio Fountains – You can see the
dancing water show from nearly anywhere on the Strip, it’s even
cooler from close up as the fountain show is synchronized with
different music.
-
Mirage Volcano – It’s not a real
volcano, but it is real fire and you can literally feel the heat
of it from the street.
-
Sirens of TI – A wonderful show put on
nightly in front of TI, weather permitting.
-
Lion Habitat – Inside MGM, see the
massive enclosure with these beautiful creatures interacting as
they would in the wild.
-
Wildlife Habitat – Located inside the
Flamingo. Naturally they have Flamingos as well as other
feathered creatures.
Shows
Vegas has some of the coolest shows in the world, and various
casinos have shows nightly so there is always something to see, from
comedians to performers and other various acts. Perhaps the most
well-known are the shows by the theatre company Cirque du Soleil.
You can catch O at Bellagio, LOVE at Mirage, Zumanity in New
York-New York, Mystere in TI, and many more. See our Entertainment
section for a guide.
Nightlife
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.
Exhibits
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.
There is a ton to do in Vegas, even if you’re by yourself. So get
out of your hotel room and have a great time. We have a full list of
great things to do by yourself or with others in the Entertainment
section, so check it out and see what catches your fancy. |
