When you’re ready to get lunch, be sure to experience one of the destination’s main stays, all-you-can-eat buffets. Once you have experienced a Las Vegas buffet, your view on the subject will be skewed. Check out the gourmet buffet at Wicked Spoon inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas or the new A.Y.C.E. Buffet, standing for “All-You-Can-Eat,” at the Palms Casino Resort . If you’re looking to experience more than one, Caesars Entertainment offers a single pass to experience six resort buffets for one price, the Buffet of Buffets.

There’s a good reason why Las Vegas is called the “Entertainment Capital of the World.” Since its Rat Pack days, Las Vegas has been inextricably associated with legendary shows and entertainers. Say “Las Vegas” and it’s likely that showgirls in elaborate headdresses and Elvis impersonators will come to mind. But today, Las Vegas is home to a number of world-renowned entertainers. On any given weekend, you can see Celine Dion, Elton John, Rod Stewart or Mariah Carey at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace; Gwen Stefani, Backstreet Boys or Lionel Richie at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino; or Cher, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin or Bruno Mars at the Park Theater. If a production show is up your alley, Las Vegas is home to seven Cirque du Soleil productions, BAZ – A Musical Mash-up inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s take on “Romeo + Juliet,” “Moulin Rouge,” “The Great Gatsby,” and “Strictly Ballroom” at Palazzo Theatre and Blue Man Group at the Luxor Hotel & Casino.

 

You’ll be surprised to find that a variety of exotic and amazing animals call Las Vegas home, including zebra sharks, jellyfish and other denizens of the deep at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino’s Shark Reef Aquarium or the Silverton Aquarium. Learn about endangered and rare animals at Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage or visit exotic birds at the Flamingo Las Vegas.

Learn about Las Vegas’ history first hand when you head downtown to Fremont Street. Walk the street where it all began. Visit the first casino in town at the Golden Gate or watch nightly shows on the world’s largest LED screen, VivaVision. Experience the cultural revival in the Fremont East district. The first Friday of the month turns this area into the arts hub of the destination. On the opposite end of downtown is Symphony Park, which is home to The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, DISCOVERY Children’s Museum and Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.

For a uniquely Vegas take on the museum scene, be sure to add the Neon Museum and the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement better known as the MOB Museum, to your agenda.

 

If adrenaline is what you seek, Las Vegas will deliver. Accelerate the fun on any number of rides at 100 stories above ground at the Stratosphere Las Vegas, The Big Apple Coaster Virtual Reality Experience at New York-New York Hotel & Casino, SlotZilla zip line attraction at Fremont Street Experience or America’s largest indoor theme park, the Adventuredome at Circus Circus.

If you have a need for speed, be sure to sign up for Sky Combat Ace, SPEEDVEGAS, Exotics Racing or Dream Racing driving experiences. If the open air and scenic views are on your checklist, Boulder City Flight Lines is the perfect fit as you zip line across the desert canyons.

After all of the adrenaline-inducing activities, you will be ready to take a break from the bright lights of the city and explore the surrounding areas. Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers boating, swimming and fishing. A favorite of rock climbers and hikers, Red Rock Canyon, features magnificent rock formations of brilliantly colored sandstone. At Mount Charleston, activities include horseback riding, hiking, camping, picnicking and snowboarding and skiing at the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort. There’s also Valley of Fire, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. For a unique and up-close experience, consider taking a tour by Pink Jeep Tours, Maverick Helicopters, Sundance Helicopters, Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters or a number of other providers.
