Top 5 Things to Do in Las Vegas Nevada

You don't have to be a big gambler with lots of money to risk to enjoy a flutter in the big Vegas casinos. You can choose from sports bets, slot machines, table and card games, keno and much more depending on the amount you want to risk. You may want to spend time in one of the high-stakes poker rooms or just see how long you can make a few dollars last on the nickel slots. Even if you have no desire to gamble, you should take a stroll around some of the biggest casinos, have a drink at a bar, watch the gamblers and experience the smoky Sin City ambiance.

Las Vegas shows rival gambling as a major tourist attraction. Las Vegas consistently attracts some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry who put on huge spectacular performances there.

A walk along the main stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as "The Strip" is a Vegas experience not to be missed. The elaborate architecture of the mega-resorts and casinos is like none other in the world. You will see a miniaturized New York Skyline, the sights of Paris and Venice, a huge dark glass pyramid and bright pink big top. After dark, The Strip takes on a different appearance when it glows in neon and a huge light beam is projected into the air from Luxor. During the summer months, you may want to wait until the nighttime to walk The Strip as the desert air is much cooler then.
