A multicolored, open 24/7, pleasure city for some, a veritable assault on the senses for others. They say you either love or hate Vegas, but one thing is for certain, it’s a city you really should visit just to find out. Fall in love with the city and you’ll return time and time again.
Whether it’s for the nightlife, the casinos, or just the overall experience of one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world, there’s something for everyone here. And for most of us, the Las Vegas experience is confined to Las Vegas Boulevard, the world famous Strip. Here’s our guide to getting the very best from the Strip during your stay in Sin City.
1. The Vegas Strip itself: A fabulous walk to experience all the sights

Over the years, the Las Vegas Strip has changed beyond recognition. To some it’s a shame, the old Strip used to be dominated by the casinos, with each set in its own grounds, each trying to outdo the rest. Whether that’s the incredible pyramid of The Luxor with its light seen from miles around, the faux-Arthurian Excalibur with its turrets and towers, New York New York’s famous cityscape and roller-coaster, or the more laid back but still spectacular sights of the Venetian, Mirage, Cosmo, MGM Grand, the casinos are still there. But nowadays they’re more hidden. The strip today is dominated by shops, bars, and eateries.

The must-see casino in Vegas. Surprising for such an iconic place, the Bellagio has only been here since 1999. But it’s still one of the must see places on any Vegas itinerary. Wander up the strip and take your place outside for the beautiful fountain show, every 15 minutes in busy times, every half hour otherwise. To an ever changing soundtrack of modern and old tunes, you’ll see the famous dancing fountain show.

3. Visit Paris in Las Vegas for the Eiffel Tower Experience (From USD 15.99 per person.)
A short walk across the strip to the Paris Casino, where you can’t miss the half-size reproduction of the Eiffel Tower. The spectacular glass elevator takes you 140 meters (460 feet) above the strip for incredible 360-degree city views, best done at night to take in all the lights. Another spectacularly romantic venue and again, while you’re there, you might see a proposal or two.

You really can’t miss New York New York. The casino faces onto the strip with a replica of the New York skyline, complete with its own Statue of Liberty, Empire State, and a roller coaster that winds around the buildings. The Big Apple Coaster provides you thrill seekers with a fabulous ride, inside and outside of the casino.

5. The Luxor and Bodies Exhibition (From USD 34.99 per person)
The Luxor is unlike any other casino and hotel, with the main building built as a giant pyramid, complete with a beacon light that you can see for miles at night. The unique building isn’t just a simple facade either, as you immediately see when you venture inside. The inwardly sloping walls hold the hotel’s rooms, and it’s a truly spectacular sight. One must-see inside Luxor is the Bodies exhibition. The exhibition of full body specimens and dissected organs and tissues will bring you an incredible understanding of the miracle of your body.

While you’re in Vegas, you have to take in a show, and there’s plenty to choose from across the city with every casino hosting their own shows and special guests from around the world. You could choose famous names such as Cher or Britney Spears, comedy with Carrot Top, magic at the Rio from Penn and Teller and much more. But if we had to pick the best in town we’d recommend the incredible sights of Cirque Du Soleil, whether that’s the adults only Zumanity at New York New York or the incredible Michael Jackson show at the Mandalay Bay. A Cirque Du Soleil show is pure Vegas magic.
