Look, we get it. Most people only think about gambling when planning an upcoming trip to Las Vegas. But gambling for the entire time you’re there is kind of like going to Rome and only seeing the Coliseum.
So, we’ve put together a list of the best stuff to do in Vegas besides gamble. You can thank us later.
Las Vegas is the best place in the world for people watching, because the world comes to Las Vegas. From Saudi princes to Hong Kong junkets, from backpacking European students to folks from so deep in the rural south that you’d think they’d need a passport too, you can see it all on the Strip.
From Haute Couture to cutoffs and flip-flops, tuxedos and pinstripes to saggy pants and Crocs, you’ll never look at fashion the same way after an hour or two of watching humanity pass by while camped out at the LINQ promenade, our vote for the best people-watching spot on the planet.
If you’ve ever considered a zipline journey through millions of neon lights soaring over the heads of thousands of strangers, well, we’ve got something for you.
But more than neon, the Fremont Street experience is, well, an experience. Street performers, live concerts, heck, U2 shot a video here without shutting down the streets or even announcing it. You never know what you might find. And that’s half the fun. It’s one of the best free places to visit in Vegas.
Ok, roller coasters may not be the first thing on your mind when you think about things to do in Las Vegas that aren’t gambling. But that doesn’t change the fact that Las Vegas is home to some great thrill rides.
While we still miss the High Roller at the Strat, they have a roller-coasteresque ride called the X-scream, though it’s 860 feet above the ground instead of the 1030 that the High Roller used to race around at.
Also, don’t miss the Big Apple Coaster in New York. It’s not every day you get to zip around the Statue of Liberty upside down. It’s a great thing to do in Vegas with kids.
Right behind dropping $300 in the Dragon Link Bonus, most people’s favorite Las Vegas memories revolve around some jaw-dropping, eye-popping over-the-top Las Vegas extravaganza. And there is a lot to choose from.
If it’s the burlesque shows that burnished Las Vegas’s Sin City reputation in the 60s that you like, try Fantasy at the Luxor or Rouge at the Strat. 온라인카지노사이트 If you’re still wowed by magicians, Las Vegas is the Magic capital of the world. You can catch performances by Mat Franco, David Copperfield, and Chris Angel.
And don’t forget the mind-bending madness of Cirque De Soleil, current shows include Ka, O, and Mystere, along with the Beatle’s Love.
Las Vegas has quietly become a food truck mecca over the last few years, with gourmet food being served up in parking lots and on street corners.
Do yourself a favor, stop paying $50 for a bland buffet, and track down the Hawaiian food at Antidote LV. We highly recommend the Poke nachos. Or get your carb overload at Endless Pastabilities. How often do you get five-star spaghetti and meatballs served in a cone?
