As you already know, the Strip has some of the most luxurious resorts and provides unlimited entertainment to its guests. From fine dining to gambling to attending strip shows, the Strip offers everything you can fantasize about.

Are you a fan of NASCAR races? Does speed thrill you? Do you stay awake just to watch a speed record being broken on TV and wish you could be there on the spot to witness the event for real? Las Vegas Motor Speedway will offer you just that. This 1200-acre speed complex is located around 15 miles away from the Strip at Clark County and can be quite a sight.

This is the very place that gives you the feel of an adrenaline rush as you become a spectator to historic speed races. Las Vegas Motor Speedway has numerous restaurants to cater to your appetite and offers camping spots at night so that you don’t miss out on anything.

Neon Museum

Las Vegas has been known for the glamorous neon lights that have adorned the city. However, not all famous neon lights can be spotted on the streets of Las Vegas today. This is why the Neon Museum has taken up the responsibility of restoring the legendary neon lights and displaying them for the general public to appreciate. There is a section at the museum that is entirely dedicated to the old neon lights that have become obsolete due to the closing down of the respective businesses and other reasons. At that section, you will get to learn about the history of these lights and the impact they had created. You will also get to browse through funky and attractive neon lights in the museum that are currently in trend.

Shark Reef

The people who appreciate wildlife would surely love to visit a place that houses plenty of species with special care. Las Vegas is not lagging behind in this respect. Inside the Mandalay Bay Resort, the Shark Reef Aquarium provides protection and shelter to more than 2000 aquatic species. This is an artificially constructed water tank with a capacity of 1,300,000 gallons. At the aquarium, you will come across species like sharks, fish, rays, reptiles, and marine invertebrates as you take a walk down the Shark Tunnel. It is a truly magical experience at Shark Reef.

Mob Museum

Nevada houses interesting museums. Of them, the Mob Museum requires special mention. The Mob Museum is officially known as the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. This place offers a lot of history and displays engaging clips and artifacts that date back to the times of the Mob in America. From culture to fashion, the Mob Museum does not fail to impress the tourists with authentic information. Also, the Neoclassical building dating back to 1933 that houses this museum at present is a sight to behold.

Mirage Hotel

In order to experience luxury and romance as the perfect amalgamation, the Mirage Hotel at the Strip in Las Vegas cannot be missed. This hotel has become a landmark because of its erupting volcano that graces the sky with a red firework at every interval. Walking down the sidewalk holding your partner’s hand while watching this at night is one of the most romantic things you can think of doing while in Las Vegas. If you want to spend an evening watching exotic animals, enter the resort and visit the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Being greeted by the white lions and dolphins would be truly an experience to remember.

Dating by the Bellagio Fountains

Las Vegas does not come free of cost – that is what the world imagines. However, this is a wrong notion that can be rectified under the glorious Bellagio Fountains. This is a free spot of attraction that looks beautiful in the evening under the starry sky. The water outlets shooting stretches of water at the height of around five hundred feet into the air looks magnificent. The changing of the color tones in the glimmering lights and the water dancing to both romantic and foot-tapping numbers is a sight to behold. This is one of the cheapest and the best dates to experience in Las Vegas.

Spinning on the High Roller

Reaching heights and viewing the city of Las Vegas is always one of the best things you can think of doing while in Las Vegas. Rising to a height 550 feet, viewing Las Vegas and immersing in the city lights would be the experience of a lifetime. As the world’s tallest observation wheel, you will cherish the 30 to 40 minutes that you will spend on it. Moreover, as you will be able to walk around on this observation wheel, paying a little extra and renewing your drinks from a private bartender after every rotation would be quite an enjoyable experience.

Wine Tasting after the Helicopter Ride

The aerial view of Las Vegas is indeed enchanting. And, a helicopter ride all over the city and flying to witness the beautiful Pahrump is a breath-taking experience.

Hiking on the Way

Las Vegas is located on the Mojave Desert. Over the years, this cowboy county has developed into the Sin City in the world with casinos, strip clubs, and various entertainment hubs. Even amidst the influence of this scenario, the natural beauty surrounding Las Vegas has remained intact. This is why hiking is a fun thing to do in Las Vegas if you want to spend some time with your loved ones away from the chaos of the glamorous city life. You can hike to the Red Canyon as a beginner and aim to camp at the Grand Canyon if you’re a seasoned hiker.

Exploring the Mines at Eldorado Canyon

History and literature have always spoken of Eldorado's hidden treasure. And, if you are so close to this place, you must visit the Techatticup Mine. This mine is located 45 miles away from Las Vegas and boasts of a rich history dating back to the days of the Civil War. You can explore the place and take a tour of the desert area on an ATV. The scenery will surely leave you mesmerized.

Experiencing the Man-Made Wonder of Lake Mead

Lying south-east to the city of Las Vegas, Lake Mead is about a 40 kms drive from the dazzling lights of the Las Vegas Strip. This colossal lake at its full might is 180 kms long and has a surface area of 640 square kms. Under the waters of Lake Mead lies the ruins of the town of St. Thomas and can be seen sometimes when the water level drops. This reservoir primarily receives its water from the Rocky Mountains and moderated by the Glen Canyon Dam. Lake Mead is great for relaxing and getting into some water sports.

Buying Tickets without Bargaining to Attend Strip Shows

It is known that Las Vegas is quite famous for strip shows all over the world. People generally make sure that attending a strip show is on the agenda when they are visiting Las Vegas on vacation. They make the mistake of purchasing tickets to the show well in advance. The common practice is to pay for the tickets in full, especially if you are visiting Las Vegas for the first time. Instead of this, you need to check for discounts and vouchers on websites. If you are purchasing the tickets on the spot, you need to master the art of bargaining as well.

Spending the Night at the Expensive Strip

The Strip is, by far, the biggest attraction in Las Vegas. It houses the entertainment hub where you can access the best casino, gamble to your heart’s desire, and take part in private and public exotic sessions. As you can comprehend how secure and private this place is, it is expected that the prices to spend a night at The Strip will burn a hole in your pocket. If you are not one of those rich people, avoid spending the night at The Strip. There are plenty of hotels close by that will provide cozy accommodation at a much cheaper rate. So, visit The Strip but don’t spend all your money on spending a night there.

Clubbing the Tour of Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon

Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon are two of the biggest attractions in the USA. Usually, plenty of tourists visit these two places from different parts of the world. As these two places are located just 600 miles away from each other, people often make the mistake of clubbing the tour of both these places together. Unless you are rich enough to hire a helicopter and fly from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and back, clubbing these two places is out of the question. It is advisable that you chalk out enough time (at least two separate days) if you want to indulge in the beauty of the landscape of the Grand Canyon and immerse in the fun and frolic at Las Vegas.

Not Gambling with Full Responsibility

People are of the notion at times that gambling in Las Vegas will help them earn in plenty. Well, this might be possible rarely. After all, in real life, luck hardly matters. Unlike some reel life, you will have to have a solid understanding of the different games involved and the tricks and strategies used to win the same. If you are a beginner or a tourist exploring the field of gambling, take it an entertainment. Limit yourself to a particular sum of money while indulging in gambling. If you lose that amount, have the mental strength to bow out from the game with grace. In case you cannot, you might end up losing all that you had saved over the years.

Not Visiting Places that are Free of Cost

The Strip is surely the biggest attraction in Las Vegas. And, the entertainment provided there does not come free of cost. Often, people have this false notion that nothing comes for free in Las Vegas. Well, for those people and others as well, there is good news. There are few public attractions in Las Vegas that do not require heavy expenditure. For instance, you can sit down with your partner in front of the Bellagio fountains and share an ice-cream. That’s truly quite romantic. Barring that, don’t forget to look out for the other such free places.

Forgetting to Apply Coupons

Digital marketing is under full swing today. Hence, you can surely expect that you will get coupons for every entertainment in Las Vegas. Several coupon sites give you coupons and discounts on the purchase of strip show tickets, dining experience, hotel rooms, and others. If you can keep looking for such discounts, you will be able to save a lot of money.

Not Taking a Look at Distances before Beginning to Walk

Las Vegas is the biggest city in the state of Nevada. Obviously, exploring this city on foot is not a piece of cake. If you happen to decide to walk from one place to another, make sure you take a look at the distance between the two places. If you ask a local person, you might be informed that the place you would like to reach is just a block away. However, at times, a single block might turn out to be a distance greater than one mile. And, you might not be comfortable walking such a long distance if you do not have the habit of doing so.

Weather
