Bellagio Fountain.


The Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas is considered the city's finest resort and one of the few 5-star-rated hotels. This massive hotel complex has a wide variety of attractions including an Art Gallery, Botanical Gardens, Spa and Salon, coupled with some of the finest restaurants in Las Vegas. Beyond the lobby is a showroom area with changing themes that range from spring botanical displays to fascinating shows of art. The most impressive and famous feature is the fountain show. In front of the Bellagio, along the strip, the dancing fountains perform a beautiful display of water set to music. From the sidewalk, visitors have a ringside view. This is often described as the best free attraction in Las Vegas. This is to me the best thing Vegas has to offer and the music is synchronized alongside the fountain. This attracts thousands of persons each day and is definitely something to see while visiting Las Vegas !!!

Fremont Street

Off The Strip, in the old downtown Las Vegas, is Fremont Street, a pedestrian only area with all kinds of unique sites. A four block section of Fremont Street has been covered over with a canopy of LED lights which light up the sky in a ray of different colors as you walk below. Known as the Fremont Street Experience, each night a fantastic music and visual show takes place overhead. Street performers and special entertainment acts often perform outdoors in this area. The Fremont Street Experience is in downtown Las Vegas, a few kilometers from the new hotel groupings such as Treasure Island and Caesar's Palace. It is best to take a taxi to reach this area.

Mirage Erupting Volcano


The Mirage Hotel is easy to identify while walking along the Strip. In front of the resort is a volcano, which erupts at regular intervals. At night, the glowing red fire shooting out is one of the most unique sites visible from the sidewalk. Inside the Mirage is the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Here, visitors can see a wide variety of exotic animals in their natural environment including white lions. The Dolphin Habitat contains a large number of trained dolphins in its 2.5-million-gallon pools.

Hoover Dam


 Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. The dam was controversially named after President Herbert Hoover.

Named one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century, Hoover Dam continues to draw crowds 80 years after its creation.
Attracting more than a million visitors a year, Hoover Dam is located in Black Canyon, just minutes outside of Las Vegas.

Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, is home to much of the immense Grand Canyon, with its layered bands of red rock revealing millions of years of geological history. Viewpoints include Mather Point, Yavapai Observation Station and architect Mary Colter’s Lookout Studio and her Desert View Watchtower. Lipan Point, with wide views of the canyon and Colorado River, is a popular, especially at sunrise and sunset.
To begin I would recommend visiting the Grand Canyon to anyone at least once in their life. It is a majestic, enormous, humbling experience. It is such a vast landscape it is almost hard for the mind to comprehend the size of what is before you and the amount of time it took to look this way. There is also the skywalk which gives you a wonderful view of the valleys etc. Absolutely an amazing experience .

The Paris Hotel "Eiffel Tower"

The Paris Hotel on the Strip is one of the most easily recognized resorts in Las Vegas. Out front is a scale model of the Eiffel Tower and down the way is a recreation of the Paris Opera House. Also on the property is a mock hot air balloon festooned with neon and flashing lights. Located in the "Eiffel Tower" is an upper end restaurant with fine views out over The Strip and across to the dancing fountains of Bellagio. The Eiffel Tower makes you feel as though you are in France and it is truly an amazing experience. A must see attraction while visiting Las Vegas !!!

TAO Nightclub


TAO Nightclub which is located in the Grand Canal Shoppes is known for its  glamorous layout and décor, with twin dance floors sporting totally different vibes side by side. And the bathtubs full of rose petals don't hurt nothin' neither. I like to think of Tao as the club version of one of the delicious tastes from Tao Restaurant. It's unique and delicate on the tongue, and always leaves you wanting more. .Off to Tao for dinner before dancing.
