Things to Do

As long as you’ve got a pulse and at least a few dollars in your pocket you’ll never run out of things to do in Las Vegas. Most of the common activities are pretty obvious, but we’ll give you some basic information here and links for each to more complete information on those subjects.

Gambling

This is at the top of the list for most visitors to Las Vegas, even in spite of the fact that casino gambling is now found within 100 miles of nearly every American at home. Slot machines are the most popular form of gaming (which is what Las Vegas euphemistically calls gambling), but blackjack and craps can be much more fun if you are in a group.

Shows

The lavish stage shows that have helped make Las Vegas into a place that calls itself the Entertainment Capital of the World have recently been joined by Broadway shows and permanent headliners like the concluded Celine Dion show and the ongoing Barry Manilow show. But there are also magic shows, tribute shows, and many other things to help make an unforgettable night.

Adult revue

Most of the shows in Las Vegas are suited for family audiences, but not all of them. If you are in the mood for something good for a couple, or a group of guys, or even a group of girls, there are more choices in Las Vegas than ever.

Strip clubs

If something classy enough to call itself an “adult review” isn’t erotic enough for you, Las Vegas has probably the best collection of actual strip clubs in the world. Most are topless-only, but quite a few all-nude strip joints are mixed in as well. There are some things to be aware of before you set out on what could be an extremely expensive night and choosing the right club for you can get a bit complicated.

Nightclubs

Las Vegas is now filled with nightclubs that are each trying to seem more exclusive than the next. If you pick the wrong place you might spend an hour waiting in line before paying $30 to get into a nearly empty club.

Dining

Most of the larger hotels have between 5 and 10 restaurants in each, so finding food in Las Vegas is never a problem, even though lines can be long at times. The new trend is toward celebrity and TV chefs running restaurants, but you can find fast food foodcourts, plentiful buffets, and even Michelin-star restaurants if you know where to look.

Other attractions

Especially if you’ve decided to rent a car in Las Vegas, you’ve got quite a few more choices of things to do. Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are only 30 miles away, and Las Vegas also has a few museums and other interesting attractions you should know about, especially if lady luck hasn’t shined on you and your finances are running low.
