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. Other downtown picks are the Las Vegas Premium Outlets North and the Mob Museum – which houses the city’s more sordid secrets.

Summerlin
6.8 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. Adventurers rejoice in the multitude of high-desert trails, cycle paths, and climbing routes in the encroaching Red Rocks. Spires of mountains in the background create a postcard-perfect downtown Summerlin.

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.

5 May 2024
Used Las Vegas as the launching point of our Grand Canyon trip. A bit far from the Grand Canyon (about a 4.5 hour drive) but probably the most convenient and flexible place to fly into for such a trip. Also, very close for a Hoover Dam Visit. Didn't really spend much time in Las Vegas.
Everything is super expensive now!
4 May 2024
Everything is super expensive now! Employees at Harry Reid airport are pretty rude and not patient with people. Escalators all over town were not working, timeshare, monks, showgirls, etc. constantly harassing people. Not enough signage/information for the monorail. Aside from all of this, if you are prepared for the costs, it is a phenomenal place to visit!!!

I live 50 miles outside of Las Vegas and travel into the city for a hotel connection to and from the airport. As such I see it as a local would. Las Vegas is a great town to vacation in as well as a connecting travel hub to anywhere in the beautiful Southern Nevada area. Visitors, please schedule adequate time to visit and recreate in our eye popping beautiful Red Rock Natural Conservation Area and the VERY nearby and easily accessible Mt. Charleston for year round fun. Drive a little to see huge Ponderosa and Bristlecone pine trees, hiking, picnic spots, camping, a ski resort, and wild horses grazing in Lee Meadows!

Shop around for cheaper resort fees and see what you really get for the money. Also make sure you get a place that gives you an option to waive parking fees if you don't have a car . Hash House a Go Go at the Linc awesome but be sure and share a plate of food.

Excellent destination to have a great time from walking the strip to fine dinning . And a gamblers paradise to roll the dice or hit the button on a spot machine . And downtown Vegas is an awesome experience for all visitors as well , so much to see and do you always come back for more .
