Las Vegas is known for its casinos and world-class entertainment, but those are just two things to do in a city filled with attractions. On the Strip, you can take a spin on the world’s largest observation wheel, the High Roller, ride on a Venetian gondola or watch the iconic Fountains of Bellagio. Away from the Strip, Las Vegas has an collection of acclaimed museums covering atomic testing, neon signs and the mob-- topics deeply connected to the city. Outside of the city, the Mojave Desert is filled with hiking and biking trails, scenic drives and expansive desert vistas.
The city has seen a boom in "adventure tourism" attractions that cater to visitors who want something a little different than the standard weekend of hedonism. Get behind the wheel of a NASCAR vehicle at the Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure. Swim with dolphins at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden marine habitat. Shoot an insane selection of automatic weapons at Machine Guns Vegas. That’s just scratching the surface, Las Vegas offers a roster of incredible adventures that will rouse even the most jaded traveler.
