Las Vegas
It’s one of the most famous cities in the world,
and certainly one of the most provocative. You
probably think you know what it’s all about,
but spend a little time getting to know this fun
city and you’ll discover its many surprises. To
begin with, as fabulous as the casinos are, you
don’t actually need to throw your money into
a slot machine to have a good time. Check out
one of the amazing live shows, from Cirque
du Soleil to Penn and Teller, or go window
shopping (and celebrity spotting) in the many
luxury brand boutiques. Just 50 kilometres out
of town you’ll find the Hoover Dam, a massive
piece of engineering that seeks to control the
Colorado River. Be sure to add on a trip to the
Grand Canyon to see what this mighty river is
capable of.
Our favourite things to see and do
Shopping – With outlet malls at either end of the Strip and designer stores aplenty
there’s something on offer for any shopping budget.
Fremont Street – Dating back to 1905 when Las Vegas was founded, this is the
home of old casinos such as the Golden Nugget. Try zip lining across Fremont Street
with the neon lights dazzling around you.
See a show – From the huge selection of Cirque du Soleil shows to comedians,
musicians and famous acts in residence there is something for everyone.
The Highroller – This 168 metre observation wheel dominates the landscape and
gives you amazing views over Las Vegas.
Neon Museum – Explore the history of Vegas through these unique neon signs
when you take a tour of the Boneyard where more than 150 classic neon signs rest.
Get married by Elvis – The ultimate American wedding. Or maybe a drive-
through is more your style?
Play the tables – Of course you couldn’t really go to Vegas without trying your luck
at any of the hundreds of casinos.
Fun for free – Watch the beautiful fountain show outside the Bellagio, watch the
Volcano erupt outside the Mirage and see the light and laser show downtown at the
Fremont Street Experience.
Travel round the world in one night – Visit Paris, Venice, New York, ancient
Egypt and ancient Rome all in the same day at some incredible hotels.
Exotics Car Racing – This is the ultimate driving experience. Drive cars like Ferrari,
Lamborghini, Porsche and more around a race track on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
