What are some fun things to do while visiting Las Vegas?

Answer 1

I go to Vegas two to three times a year - I love the shows.

Without question, "O" is the most fantastic show you will ever see. I've seen every Cirque show except for La Nouba in Disney Orlando, and nothing comes close.

The show itself is "indescribable" and the cast performs the most unbelievable feats on land, in the air and in the water. The French word for water is "eau", pronounced "O", hence the name of the show. Go "O", you will not regret that decision.

People loved Celine Dion - just not my cup of tea. The new Beatles/Cirque show, "Love" is at the Mirage. I plan on seeing that on my next visit - it's gotten good reviews. As for a suggestion for another show, Spamalot has gotten rave reviews, Mama Mia is great, and Danny Gans is superb. Any one of those would make your night. Blue Man at the Venetian is very unique, and the Sintas at the Rio is a very good family oriented show. If you like magic – Lance Burton is the best. I saw Dirk Arthur at the Tropicana on my last visit – really a class “B” act!

For fun we went to see the Neil Diamond tribute show at the Riviera - Jay White, the fellow that does Neil, is nothing less than perfect! His appearance, voice, clothes and moves ARE Neil Diamond. I thought that I was at a Neil Diamond concert. The room is rather small, maybe 200 people in the audience. We had a ball. You can get half-price tickets for this and many other shows at ticket outlets up-and-down the strip. The outlets are called "Tickets 4 Tonight" and they go on sale about 11:00 AM (first-come-first-served) for that night's performances only.

Another good source for reliable discounts are the books (such as “What’s on in Las Vegas” or “Las Vegas 24/7”) that are distributed in most hotels. The also give good info on where to eat and what to see. They’re really good little pocket guides!

The best free show is the Fountains at Bellagio - they perform every 15 minutes after dark - just spectacular. The Siren’s of TI show at Treasure Island is also good Other free attractions of note are the Lion Habitat at MGM, the Volcano and the White Tigers at Mirage, and the fountains inside the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. If your going downtown, the Fremont Street Experience is truly on-of-a kind, and don’t pass up the ’world famous’ $.99 shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate Hotel! Head over to the Rio (with free transportation from Harrah’s) to see the Carnival in the Sky.

I strongly suggest that you take a ½ day away from the strip and go to Hoover Dam. That is quite a sight! There are many tour companies to chose from that will pick you up right at your hotel.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

In town, there's not a lot. Hopefully, you'll have a car. Hoover Dam is about an hour and a half out of town. It's really neat. Red Rock Canyon is about the same distance in the other direction. If you don't have a car, there's always the nightclubs. People tell me those are a lot of fun. Most of the shows, especially the Cirque du Soliel ones, are very, very good, but can be very expensive also.

Answer 3

The shows are fun, but tickets are expensive. Some freebies: The fountains at the Bellagio are worth a visit. The pirate boat battle outside of Treasure Island too. Take a side trip to Hoover Dam if you have the time.

Answer 4

There is SO much to do there! Gambling, of course, but also clubbing, hanging out by the pool and people watching, checking out all the attractions at the Strip casinos, etc.

Recently, I've heard that you MUST go see Spamalot, even if you're not usually into that kind of thing.
