Fun Stuff To See In Las Vegas And A Cool Place To Stay When You
Visit
Las Vegas is a fantastic, fun, slightly crazy, non-stop and in
your face entertainment experience that you really must do at
least once in your life! When I went I stayed in the Luxor which
is a huge black pyramid shaped hotel with over 4000 rooms and a
fun friendly atmosphere. It also has the largest man made light
source pointing out of it's roof up into the sky which can even
be seen from space! I thoroughly recommend staying at the Luxor
as it has great big comfortable rooms which are reasonably
priced and loads of cool facilities including a very large
casino in the centre of it. It has a quality restaurant and if
you are in a hurry or on a budget you can dine in the buffet
restaurant which has a huge choice of food and is available day
and night.
You will never get bored in Las Vegas as the place is open for
business 24 hours a day, in fact there are no clocks anywhere to
be seen!
But what else is there to do and see apart from gambling? Well,
one of the coolest things you can see when you are there is the
grand water fountain show which is put on outside the Bellagio
hotel (where Ocean's Eleven was filmed) each evening for free.
This is a truly amazing spectacle set to music with the stunning
Bellagio hotel as a backdrop, this is something you won't forget
and would be a very romantic moment to share with your girl if
you are going as a couple on holiday.
Another great thing to do is to take a ride on a big
rollercoaster built on top of one of the hotels, but make sure
you do this at night, as the view of all the wonderful Las Vegas
lights as you go up, down and loop the loop is something that
you will always remember.
One of the best things I did when I was there was take a
helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon, flying over it was
absolutely awesome, a definate 'must do' thing when you are
there. Before the pilot took us to the Grand Canyon, he flew us
over the Las Vegas strip and that to was pretty cool too.
If you have time, I would also recommend taking a walk up and
down the whole Las Vegas strip, although this might take you
most of the day as the strip is 7 or 8 miles long, however it is
well worth it as you can walk in and out of the hotels and
casinos and take in all there is to see for free, unless of
course you stop to take a flutter which you will no doubt do!
One of the hotel's even has its own free mini zoo with lions,
tigers and other animals inside it. Whilst you walk along the
strip you may encounter some things you can only find in Las
Vegas, when I walked up and down it I encountered three Elvis
Presley's! I also saw some guys on a street corner handing out
leaflets for lap dancing clubs standing right next to a minister
of the church collecting for his ministry...only in Las Vegas!
