Before splashing your cash in the casinos, join the crowds for a stroll along the fabulous Strip, a 2½ mile section of Las Vegas Boulevard lined with flashy mega-resorts, shopping malls, restaurants and attractions. Many hotels feature a defining theme and try to outdo their neighbours by wowing visitors with magnificent amenities and vast casinos.
For outstanding views of the Strip, try out the High Roller ferris wheel or the STRAT Hotel, Casino & Skypod, where along with the panoramic vistas at its summit, there is a quartet of terrifying thrill rides. Helicopter flights are another popular way to view the stunning Strip, both by day and night. Some trips also take you further afield to the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam.
In downtown Las Vegas you’ll always find a party atmosphere at the Fremont Street Experience, a five-block entertainment district. Along with iconic casinos, you’ll be enticed by 60 restaurants, shops and attractions including live music, the Viva Vision screen featuring free light shows, the SlotZilla zip line, the Neon Museum and the fascinating Mob Museum.

Choose from a concert by megastars of the music world, magic shows, comedy acts, theatrical performances, you name it, the list goes on and on, whatever the time of year and they definitely don’t disappoint.
