Vegas is the Disneyland of the world for adults. If you’re looking to enjoy yourself, splash out or shop, Vegas is the perfect place for you. Vegas also boasts great, warm weather almost year round, striking landscapes and everything seems to be open 24 hours a day, every day – ensuring the fun never stops. While Vegas is known for it’s epic scene, it’s not the only reason to plan a trip to Vegas. Here are my top 4 things to do in Vegas:
1) The Fountains of Bellagio
Vegas seems to do everything bigger and better, and these fountains are no exception. The 40 million dollar water show goes off at a variety of times, but tends to be around every 15 minutes in the evenings. There are over a thousand water emitting spouts, stretching out over an 8.5 acre lake. The water show is matched with over 30 songs and each show varies, so that you can watch the water shows a few times and still see something different. The best part? It’s free!
2) Red Rock Canyon
Okay, so this is not really in Vegas, but it’s so close it’s worth a visit whenever you’re in Vegas next. The canyon is only 15 miles west of Las Vegas and is comprised of over 200,000 acres in the Mojave Desert. Red Rock Canyon provides an interesting contrast to all the glitz and glamour of Vegas, while allowing you to drive or hike around this wonderful nature reserve. Visiting at dusk allows a really special experience; the native wildlife comes out to play and the low light casts really interesting shadows.
3) Cirque du Soleil
Adored worldwide, Cirque du Soleil puts on a performance that is sure to delight visitors of all ages. This is the perfect activity for a family spread out across a few generations, as it is impossible to walk away without feeling absolutely mesmerized by the wonderful choreography and enchanting performances. While Cirque du Soleil does tour the world, offering performances across the globe, their special Vegas location has a number of shows that can only be enjoyed here. Definitely worth a visit while you’re in town as it will be a night to remember.
Those are my top four things to do in Vegas. Have you been to Vegas? What was your favourite thing?
