2. Fremont Street
There’s so much to do in downtown Vegas, it’s difficult to know where to begin. You can get started by visiting the Golden Nugget. Here you will discover a 200,000 gallon shark tank. If getting close to the window isn’t enough for you, there’s also a thirty-foot water slide.
It’s here that you can also see Vegas Vic, the iconic neon-lit cowboy sign that you have no doubt noticed in countless movies. You can also discover Viva Vision, the world’s biggest video screen that has 12 million LED lights stretching 90 feet over the Fremont Street Experience. The screen plays everything from holiday-themed videos to events and even rock bands. Visually, it’s absolutely magnificent and well worth exploring as a sheer tech marvel. There’s also the Downtown Container Park too. This is a place for wining, dining, and shopping in over 40 shipping containers, making it a unique environment.
3. The Strip
This is the home of the ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign and it’s also where you will be able to watch the Fountains of Bellagio. The water reaches 450 ft into the air in an impressive display that is difficult to compare. They go off every fifteen minutes through the weekend so you won’t have to wait long to see them in action.
You will be able to visit 45 different casinos, just on the strip, so the fun never has to end!
4. The Neon Museum
If you didn’t know, there are a lot of art exhibits and museums around Vegas. This is definitely one of the most unique with 200 neon signs in the ‘Boneyard.’ These tell the incredible history of Vegas and you can explore them yourself in a guided tour that lasts just one hour. The signs date all the way back to the rat pack era and it is a truly delightful experience.
