Food options cover every base, from casual bites to fine dining. And when it comes to nightlife, there’s no shortage - think rooftop bars, live DJs and late-night lounges!

What to do in Las Vegas
Catch a show 🎤
From world-famous residencies to magic acts and comedy nights, live entertainment is everywhere. You’ll find big productions like Cirque du Soleil, major artists on stage, and something new every night.
Try your luck 🎰
Vegas is known for its casinos - whether it’s blackjack, poker or a spin on the slots, there’s a table (or machine) waiting. Even if you’re not here to gamble, the atmosphere is worth checking out.
Explore beyond the Strip 🏜️
Take a break from the lights and head to Red Rock Canyon or the Hoover Dam. Both offer a change of pace, with outdoor views, walking trails, and some welcome quiet away from the crowds.
Eat your way around 🍽️
From big-name restaurants to classic diners and 24-hour buffets, there’s no shortage of options. The food scene covers everything - street tacos, sushi, steakhouses and everything in between.
Take in the views 🌆
Go for a rooftop drink, ride the High Roller, or book a helicopter tour. Las Vegas at night is a full-on spectacle, with city views that don’t need a filter.
Shop around 🛍️
Hit the outlets for designer deals or explore the shopping centres inside the major hotels. Whether you’re after high-end fashion or fun souvenirs, it’s all under one (very extravagant) roof.
Things to do in Las Vegas
In a city where there’s always something going on, here are 3 sights you can’t skip:
The Las Vegas Strip
The Las Vegas Strip is four miles of big hotels, bright lights and back-to-back entertainment. It’s where you’ll find headline shows, rooftop views and enough restaurants to suit any mood (or hangover).
Catch the Bellagio Fountains - they run every 15 to 30 minutes and always draw a crowd. The High Roller takes you 550 feet up for views across the whole city, while the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas gives you a quieter (but still impressive) look from halfway up the Strip.
Walk if you’re up for it, but it’s longer than it looks. The Monorail and Deuce bus are solid options if you want to skip the steps or the heat.
If you’re heading to a show, book early. Big names like Adele and Cirque du Soleil often sell out fast. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit for good weather. Mornings are quieter, nights are cooler, and the Strip still shines just as bright.
Fountains of Bellagio
Right on the Las Vegas Strip, the Fountains of Bellagio are a standout. Set in an 8.5-acre lake outside the Bellagio Hotel, the shows combine water, music and lights - completely free to watch.
Each performance is tightly choreographed, with over 1,200 jets sending water up to 460 feet high. The soundtrack rotates through over 30 songs, from Andrea Bocelli to BTS, so no two shows feel the same.
Shows run every 30 minutes in the afternoon and every 15 minutes from 7 PM until midnight. They last just a few minutes - short, sharp and worth stopping for.
The sidewalk in front of the hotel gives you the closest view. Or you can book a table at Spago, LAGO or The Mayfair Supper Club for a seat with a view.
Evening is the best time to go, when the lights add to the drama. Just be aware, strong winds can pause performances. If you're nearby, it's worth catching more than one.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Red Rock Canyon sits just 15 miles west of Las Vegas, and feels a world away. Known for its bold red cliffs and desert views, the area covers over 197,000 acres and offers a break from the Strip’s buzz. The 13-mile Scenic Drive is a great place to start, with plenty of pullouts for photos, trail access and quiet moments.
There are hiking trails for all levels - from short walks to full-day climbs. Calico Tanks is a solid mid-range option with views of the city, while Turtlehead Peak is a tougher trek for those chasing a challenge. Climbers love the Aztec sandstone and spots like Calico Hills are often busy with ropes and helmets.
The visitor centre is open daily with exhibits, desert tortoises and shaded spots to rest. Entry starts at $15 per car, and timed slots are needed between October and May. Spring and autumn offer the best weather, but early mornings work well year-round. It’s easy to get to - harder to forget.
