what is there to do in vegas other than gambling and clubbing??

Question

I need suggestions

Answer 1

well, first of all, not that you are looking for a prostitute, but in Clarke County, prostitution is still illegal, so don't look for one. Prostitution is legal in Nye county if you want to drive there. You can go to the chicken ranch or the cherry patch.. if they are still open.
However, aside from gaming, there are some historic things you can see. You have to have a car and be ready to drive a little. But, north of Las Veges is a place call the Valley of Fire. A bit of a drive through the desert, but the scenery is amazing. You will nothing but a lot of red rocks, indian petroglyphs, and some old dwellings.
If you go northeast of town, you can find your way to Mt. Charleston. The lodge is at the 8000 Ft. level and their food is excellent, and be sure to have a Mt. Charleston coffee. Again, the view from the lodge is spectacular.
On the west side of town, on Charleston Blvd, is red rock canyon. It will cost a couple dollars for the car, but it is a 15 mile drive through the canyon with several places to get out and climb some rocks. Dress for it and wear the right shoes. Sandels will not work out there. They also have a visitors center with some historic information and a gift shop. (Buy me a T shirt)
On the east side of town is a place called old Vegas. I haven't been there is quite a while, but they used to have a western town with gun fights, an old jail, and a couple good restaurants and a saloon. Check your gun at the door.
Again, you do need a car. If you are a NASCAR fan, the Nextel cup race is in march. I had the chance to go for a ride in one of the cars on my last visit. Since we were there on business, it didn't cost anything, but the ride along is around $100. But the thrill is well worth it.
Check the phone book when you get there, and most hotel rooms will show what there is to see and do around town without gambling. Perfect for those under 21. Have fun.

Answer 3

In the last few years, Vegas has tried to make it a family destination so not just gambling. As a result, there's more entertainment options like the shows (a new Circque d' Soleil is opening soon). There's also some great restaurants and spas. Definitely people watch since you'll see a bit of everything in Vegas. Bellagio has a art museum.

About two hours away in southern Utah are some beautiful national and state parks for hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, etc. Great spas as well, mainly in St. George area.

Answer 4

I don't really do much gambling or clubbing, but I always have a great time in Vegas. There are a lot of other things to do and see there. Vegas is known for great shows, and there are attractions all up and down the strip. There is also great shopping, and lots of options for great dining. You can easily have a good time without gambling or clubbing.

Answer 5

Just walking through the shopping areas of the casinos, and eating in all the cool restaurants, can be pretty entertaining. Then there is always the lions at MGM to see, the volcano in front of the Mirage, the dolphins at the Mirage, the pirate battle at Treasure Island, the Paris hotel's tower, the Venetian's boat rides, the roller coaster at New York New York, etc. Get the book "The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas". It's very helpful.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'm not a clubber or a gambler, but I still had a BLAST in Las Vegas. Your best bet is to sightsee in each hotel. Each one has its own landmarks, themes, restaurants, etc. Some have roller coasters, others have shows.....don't worry, you'll have plenty to do. We never got back to our room before 1am and we never saw the inside of a club or touched a slot machine.

Answer 8

Well, I like to golf while I am there. Also take in a few shows. the magic shows and the dancing girls are great. I do the comedy cluns as well and go on the roller coasters too. there is the Hover dam not too far and also Lake Mead for boating and jet skis.

All of this of course takes money, but it is worth it!

Answer 9

Lions at MGM, gardens at Bellagio, malls at Aladdin and Caesar's, outlet malls north of the strip, eating Rio/Bellagio/Aladdin buffets, watching shows (Ka, O, Le Reve, Phantom of the Opera), ride the gondola at the Venetian canals, go to the top of the Stratosphere, play carnival games at Circus Circus, ride roller coasters, go downtown to check out the vintage casino's, Star Trek experience at Hilton, hang out by the hotel pool, check out art at Wynn or Venetian, play golf, go to Hoover Dam, watch a movie, Gameworks,
