Unmissable things to do in Las Vegas
How do these rankings work?
1. Watch the Bellagio Fountain Show
The Bellagio Fountain Show is a free and must-see attraction in Las Vegas. It happens right outside the front of the Bellagio Hotel and it is the perfect water and music show you’ll see for free.
When you’re in Vegas, you just have to come see this magical fountain show that takes place every 30 minutes intervals during the day and 15 minutes at night.
2. Take a Helicopter Ride over the Grand Canyon
One of the best ways of seeing the Grand Canyon, aside from driving some 6+ hours to get there from Vegas, is booking an epic helicopter ride over it. You can book the tour in Vegas and they will arrange the transportation to the helicopter.
If you really want to see a side of the Grand Canyon you’ll never see again, do it from up in a helicopter!
3. Ride the High Roller Ferris Wheel
A relatively new addition to the multitude of things to do in Las Vegas is riding the High Roller Ferris Wheel. No, you don’t have to be an actual high roller to do this. Rather, you can ride in one of the ‘cabins’ where you’ll spend 30-40 minutes going for one full loop.
For a great time, purchase the alcohol package where you get a private bartender to dish out the drinks during the ride.
4. Float on a Gondola at the Venetian Hotel
Who says you have to go to Venice, Italy to sail on one of their gondolas? You can do that at the Venetian Hotel and aside from being in Venice, the experience is quite authentic!
This is a fun and romantic thing for couples to do in Vegas!
5. Check out the Old Las Vegas on Fremont Street
The Old Vegas on Fremont Street used to be the go-to spot in Vegas before the Strip came along and stole its thunder. There is still a lot of the old hotel charm on Fremont Street and they’ve modernised it a bit over the last few years to keep up with the pace.
Come here after 6pm., look up, and watch the free light show and zip-liners zoom past you!
6. Visit the Mob Museum
Another thing to do that’s away from the craziness on the Strip is visiting the Mob Museum. Vegas has history with mobsters and at this exhibit, you can relive the history of these mobsters from time.
If you’re a big fan of the Godfather or any Italian mobster film, then you’ll love the Mob Museum.
7. Watch a Golden Knights Hockey Game
The Las Vegas Golden Knights are a professional hockey team that has made a huge buzz on the city. Many people say that the production quality of the Golden Knights games are the highest of any professional team.
The crowds at Golden Knights games really feed into the frenzy and the atmosphere is truly special and electric!
