Follow the call of the disco ball
Las Vegas, NV
Nightlife in Vegas is legendary and there is no shortage of places to dance the night away. Whether you go for a big-name residency like Lady Gaga or Aerosmith or you’re there to party at the club or the pool with the likes of Calvin Harris and Tiesto. You’re sure to have an extraordinary day that might even roll into the night.
Get high (in the sky)
Fly Linq
Adrenaline junkies can get their fix at Fly Linq. The exhilarating zipline takes thrill-seekers 330 metres above the Linq Promenade giving them a unique birds-eye of view of the street below.
If that’s not enough, you can test your mettle at the Stratosphere Tower. At the top of the 274-metre tower are four attractions designed to get your heart pounding. The Big Shot, Insanity, XScream and Sky Jump are pretty self-explanatory so ride at your own peril and perhaps skip the buffet beforehand.
Fancy something a little tamer? Why not take the High Roller, the world’s largest observation wheel.
‘The Strip’ for foodies
The Bellagio Fountain
Forget fast, fried and fatty, Vegas has world-class dining right at your fingertips! The famous Bellagio Hotel is more than just somewhere to lay your head. Be sure to check out the recently opened Mayfair Supper Club.
LAGO, the snazzy Italian eatery, boasts floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views of the Fountains of Bellagio. The elegant Picasso restaurant serves up delicate French cuisine with a side of Pablo’s original artwork.
For those, a little hungrier, take your big appetite to Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas specialising in top quality, familiar staples and imaginative seasonal dishes, all of which will have you going back for more and more (and more!).
It’s a (neon) sign
Neon Sign Museum
What better way to celebrate the ‘Neon Capital’ by visiting the Holy Grail – The Neon Museum. This funky non-profit organisation is dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting iconic Vegas signs from nights gone by.
The Mob Museum
If organised crime is more down your alley, check out the Mob Museum to get an authentic view of a darker past. Discover real stories and events from vintage Las Vegas and witness the impact organised crime had on America.
Get your sport fix

With all the glitz and glamour that the famous city is known for, it is sometimes hard to know that it is turning into a city for big sports fans. Be sure to check out the new Minor League Baseball team on the block the Las Vegas Aviators who you can catch at the Las Vegas Ball Park.
Or if you prefer a game played on ice, make sure you catch a Golden Knights match. Reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season, you can watch them out of the T-Mobile Arena.
Yes you can (yon)
Elephant Rock, Grand Canyon
Leave the neon behind and explore Vegas’ extended backyard. There are plenty of natural wonders just outside the city waiting to be discovered, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Mt Charleston, Death Valley or the engineering wonder of the Hoover Dam.
Go a little further and you could experience the mighty Grand Canyon – a few hours road trip or a quick helicopter ride away for a once in a lifetime experience.
