Las Vegas Strip
In the city centre
Need an energy drink? Take a sip of the Strip instead. A non-stop street of decadence, indulgence, and imbibe, this hub is why they dub Vegas the Entertainment Capital of the World. Don your dancing shoes at The Cosmopolitan clubs, splash cash on the tables at Caesars Palace, and feast on Michelin star dining. Do it all in a day if you dare.

East of the Las Vegas Strip
1.2 miles from city centre
East of the Las Vegas Strip lie more tees and greens. Tea off at the Wynn Golf & Country Club and follow it with an event at the Thomas & Mack Center. Craving a bird’s eye view? Helicopter to see the Grand Canyon from the sky. Or you might prefer to descend into debauchery at the Hardrock Hotel and Casino’s infamous Rehab pool party.

Downtown Las Vegas - Fremont Street
3.7 miles from city centre
Modern design sits aside yesterday’s glamour in Downtown Las Vegas. Wander the city’s first casinos at the Fremont Street Experience and get courted by the glittering lights.

Summerlin
6.7 miles from city centre
Escape the 24-hour-ness of Vegas and head to this affluent development nearby. Hit a hole-in-one on one its many golf-course greens.

South of the Las Vegas Strip
6.4 miles from city centre
Tear yourself away from the tables, and discover the subtleties down south. You can jump for joy at the Trampoline Park or treat yourself to some retail therapy at the Town Square Mall and Las Vegas Premium Outlets South. But most likely you’ll be here to wave hello or goodbye to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, the city’s famous gatekeeper.

Henderson
9.6 miles from city centre
Who doesn’t want to follow in Celine Dion’s footsteps? Head to Henderson, where the diva owned a house on Lake Las Vegas. In a desert dominated by commercial flair, Henderson offers a small town alternative. This ever-sunny desert-scape provides endless golf options and easy access to Sin City. Kick up some dust in its maze of hiking trails.

About Las Vegas
Including tips for the best time to visit Las Vegas
Awash with bright lights and neon signs, Las Vegas is a city of fun, freedom and fabulousness – as its iconic welcome sign promises.
Most of the Sin City’s action is concentrated in the Las Vegas Strip – a stretch of road lined with upscale casinos, Michelin-starred restaurants and legendary hotels. You can try your luck at the fabled casinos or check out a show from Vegas’ enviable lineup – from enchanting Cirque du Soleil acts to top musicians performing at its pulsing clubs.
Vegas resorts are designed as entire worlds of their own, complete with casinos, restaurants, spas, shopping centres and activities unique to their theme. Take a gondola ride on the canals of the Venetian, live like Roman royalty at Caesars Palace or experience mythical Egyptian grandeur at the Luxor Hotel. While it’s tempting to spend the entire holiday exploring your resort, make some time for Bellagio’s dancing fountains and botanical gardens, and head to the Neon Museum for an artsy display of retro signage lit up anew. A spin on the 550-feet tall High Roller will give you a glimpse of the world’s wonders, with replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Giza Pyramid and New York’s skyline dotting the glittering city below.
A fluorescent oasis amidst the Mojave Desert, Vegas is surrounded by mountains and dramatic landscapes offering exhilarating activities and stunning views. Hike up Mount Charleston, zipline over the Bootleg Canyon or simply drive through Red Rock Canyon for a respite from the city’s heady energy.

We came in for a concert at mgm grand garden arena so the location was perfect as for food we had our preferred breakfast at Binion’s they have the best steak n eggs of all Las Vegas as for dinner we went to prime at the Bellagio a first time experience a little pricey but all worth it
The casinos are so freaking noisy!
26 April 2024
The casinos are so freaking noisy! At one point I heard a Karaoke singer, a DJ, piped in music and of course, all the machines at the same time! The food is extremely expensive. Slot machines are tight! I'm done with Las Vegas

24 April 2024
We spent as much time exploring off-strip as we did on the strip. Each held unique experiences and I wish we had more time to see more shows and to visit more places. On strip: Blue Man Group & Mystiere we the shows we saw, both were excellent and wish we could have seen more Cirque de Solei shows. Visited the Belagio to see the fountains, the conservatory and the chocolate fountain. Visited Ceasars to see the Forum. Off Strip: Parked and enjoyed the Sphere. (Outside only as there was a concert event while we were there.) Walked the Historic Railroad Hicking Trail (Starts by the Lake Meade Visitors Center. Goes 2.2 miles to the old millworks. Should have stopped there and walked back as path was nice and flat, easy hike for beginners. We continued from the millworks down to the Hoover Dam, another 2 miles. It started at an easy level and moved to a moderate level except when you reached the last part, just past the powerlines when you reach thebpaved walkway down to the new garage...steep is an understatement!! It may be paved, but it has to be close to be a 45° grade!! I highly recommend walking the 2.2 miles and headding back to the visitors center, then driving down to Hoover Dam. Walked accross Hoover Dam, can't wait to see the new visitors center when it is complete. Drove the scenic route at Red Rock. Each time I visit I fall more and more in love. The scenery is georgeous and just a short drive outside the city. Each time I visit I find new improvements: more/better parking areas off the scenic drive, new/more educational signage, path markers and detailed trailhead signs just to name a few. Visited the Spring Preserve, a nice little gem tucked away in north Las Vegas. Beautiful gardens, a pretty little butterfly house, well otganized exhibits abiut the plants, history, geology and conservation efforts for the area. We only stayed for five days and could have easily filled another five with more activities!!

The bathroom had mold in the tile and the wallpaper was torn with mold on and underneath. With the hand held shower head it was not helpful trying to hold the onto the grab bar and move the shower head to rinse. Not very clean bathroom, with the shower curtain getting all wet at the bottom the bath rug got all wet and didn't dry fast enough to use again.

19 April 2024
Trip to Las Vegas totally recommended if you know what you are going to do, now if you want to have fun and have a good time it takes a lot of money. It is very important to look for a good hotel, no matter how expensive it is, especially try to stay in one of the newest hotels manufactured in the city since these are cleaner and provide better service and they also don't smell bad like the old ones,
Amazing destination for your vacation unlike anywhere else...
15 April 2024
Amazing destination for your vacation unlike anywhere else in the World. We hadn't been there in a decade and were amazed by how expensive everything was! If you get a chance, get out of town and drive a couple of hours out to Mt.Zion National Park, it's a perfect break and astonishing!
