Best Places to See a celebrities in Las Vegas
If you want to spot celebrities, there's really only two places
to go. But if you don't want to waste your time in LA or NY,
then why not try Las Vegas? After all, you've got your basic
celebrities singing and telling jokes on stage, your basic
celebrities coming to town to gamble, and your basic celebrities
coming to make movies and television shows.
And then there's always Paris Hilton checking up on her
family's ownings.
When it comes to spotting hot celebs, you can take a chance on
hanging out at casinos and waiting for them to drop a bundle at
the poker table, or you can do something where you'll actually
get a chance to see someone famous.
The Palms on Flamingo Road features two clubs well known for
attracting the beautiful people. Paris herself prefers the Palms
to her namesake hotel and Britney Spears makes it her
prerogative to hang out there, too. At the N9NE steakhouse,
musicians as varied as Paul Anka and Vince Neil have sung the
praises of their porterhouses.
The best place in town to spot celebs, however, is probably
the Fix at the Bellagio. Those who've peered through its large
windows have been lucky enough to spot Spiderman himself, Tobey
Maguire, as well as the king of the world, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Chances are probably not good for spotting famous people at
Vegas' top landmarks. For one thing, the rich and famous usually
make special arrangements to go to public places. And for
another, Vegas' top landmark is so high that if you look down
even the biggest celebrities look like ants. Great big honking
fireants, maybe, but ants nonetheless. The Stratosphere tower is
not only the tallest structure in Las Vegas, it's the tallest
building west of the mighty Mississippi River. Much like the
Eiffel Tower in Paris, you pretty much can't go anywhere without
looking at it. Well, there is one place you can go. Did you know
that Balzac-or was it Victor Hugo-hated the Eiffel Tower so much
that he used to go there to do his writing because it was the
only place in Paris he could find outdoors where he didn't have
to look at it. Fortunately, if you don't appreciate the
Stratosphere from afar and find yourself forced to go atop it,
you'll find plenty to occupy your time, including a thrilling
roller coaster ride.
The Stratosphere is also a great place to get a view of
America's own fabulous city of lights. The 360 degree view of
all that Vegas has to offer really can't be beat, especially at
night. However, if you are the athletic type and want to get a
view that most other tourists won't get, then try the Calico
Tanks Trail. This 2.5 mile hike starts out at the Sandstone
Quarry pullout on the Red Rock loop. Upon reaching the far point
of the trail, pull out your camera and get ready for a view of
Las Vegas that even those up on the Stratosphere tower won't
get.
