There are so many fun things to do in Las Vegas. Want to drive a Lamborghini, shoot machine guns or dine with the best chefs? With so much entertainment, you’re probably wondering where to start. Come check out 10 activities you cannot miss in Vegas!
1.Stroll down the Las Vegas Strip
The Strip is one of the most popular and iconic tourist destinations in the world. You can’t come to Vegas without exploring this world-famous boulevard known for its concentration of resort hotels and casinos, contemporary architecture and entertainment offerings. The Las Vegas Strip is about 4.2 mi (6.8 km) long of sparkling lights and has lots of popular free attractions. In addition to staying in a nice hotel, make sure to stroll down and explore the best activities in the Strip.
2.Enjoy a show, or two or three!
Acrobats, showgirls, magicians, Las Vegas won’t ever let you down when you’re looking to be entertained. You can find anything from exotic adult shows to the classic Cirque du Soleil. There are so many shows that choosing the best ones can be overwhelming, but here are our suggestions:
David Copperfield: Vegas is the best place to watch a master magician and nothing will be more remarkable than seeing David Copperfield performing his world renowned illusions live in Las Vegas. Shin Lim is another great option if you want some magic!
Cirque du Soleil: One of the most iconic and beautiful shows you can see only in Vegas is The Beatles LOVE. However, Cirque du Soleil has a variety of amazing shows in the city or Michael Jackson, Mystère and O are some of the favorite ones to watch in Vegas.
If you have more time (and money) America’s Got Talent Las Vegas LIVE would be my next favorite suggestion, but you can check the top seller shows and choose the best options to include in your itinerary.
Tip: Work with the hotel concierge to purchase tickets, they can arrange the best seats with lower prices.
3.Drive an exotic car
Have you ever thought about driving an exotic car on a real racetrack?
