11.

Seven Magic Mountains

S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054, USA
(702) 381-5182

It is free to visit Seven Magic Mountains - you just have to get there! A bunch of painted rocks stacked in the middle of the desert is pretty cool to see.

10.

The Las Vegas Strip

S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA
(702) 229-6011

If you have never been to Las Vegas you have to drive down the strip and see the lights!

9.

High Roller

3545 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA
(855) 234-7469

The High Roller is a slow moving, 360 view above the Vegas Strip. Similar to the London Eye, this can be a fun way to experience the city. If taking a ride on The High Roller, consider a detour to Brooklyn Bowl for a show (or some bowling) or grab a cupcake from the Sprinkles ATM! There is a fun Polaroid Museum in this area as well (called The Linq) and some casual dining options. Not the shiniest area of The Strip but it is centrally located.

8.

AMC Town Square 18

6587 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, USA
(702) 362-7283

This particular theater has a DOLBY CINEMA theater - one of less than 300 in the world. We saw every Marvel and Star Wars movie at this theater and no other movie-going experience has ever measured up.

7.

Comedy Cellar

3700 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103, USA
(212) 254-3480

Fun little basement club that is different every time you go! There are generally 3 acts and a host - so if you don't like one of the comedians there is another around the corner!

6.

AREA15

3215 S Rancho Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89102, USA

Among may attractions, you can walk through an interactive MEOW WOLF Omega Mart exhibit. The tickets can be a bit confusing so give us a ring and we will help guide you!


Art Museum + Adult Arcade + Las Vegas Flare

5.

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA
(702) 693-7111

It is truly amazing what they can do with flowers. We love checking out this seasonal show! And while you are there you can check out those fountains everyone is always going on about or whatever.

4.

Absinthe

3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA
(702) 534-3419

Move over Cirque Du Soleil! Speigleworld is where it is at. This was our favorite of this genre of show. The theater is very intimate which means you can see just how hard these acrobats are working. Be warned - this show is not for children or the pure of heart. Raunchy comedy.

3.

THE BASEMENT

3440 Polaris Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89102, USA
(866) 993-7227

BEST Escape Room we have been to still to this day! Both The Basement and The Study are incredible, challenging and have great production value. There is a horror storyline so beware!

2.

The Neon Museum Las Vegas

770 Las Vegas Blvd N, Las Vegas, NV 89101, USA
(702) 387-6366

The Neon Museum is a gem of Downtown Las Vegas. You will get to see some of the museum at the ceremony, but the main Neon Graveyard is still a sight to see on it's own - especially at night. If you want a truly unique experience among the neon, the Brilliant show is well worth the ticket price.

1.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Mountain Springs, NV 89161, USA
(702) 515-5350

Take a hike... in the beautiful Red Rock Canyon National Park. Not much of a hiker? You can drive the 13.5 mile scenic loop as check out the tapestry of desert natural art.


Want the feel of hiking a national park without the entrance fee? Check out Calico Basin. It is just on the other side of the rocks and hosts free trails and pathways for a awesome morning hike. Just remember to go early - Las Vegas heat comes on fast!
