What to Do in Las Vegas

Despite our training course being the main attraction to your visit to the city, we hope you find some time outside of training to experience the best Las Vegas has to offer. After you've done your duty as a tourist and strolled the Strip, you might want to consider some of these entertainment options.

Sightseeing and Outdoor Activities in Las Vegas and Surrounding Areas

Weather permitting, these outdoor attractions show another side of Las Vegas and the surrounding areas of Nevada, Arizona, and California.

• Red Rock Canyon: Choose from more than two dozen hikes in the high desert foothills west of Las Vegas. Stunning vistas and petroglyphs abound here.
• Springs Preserve: The highlight here for sure is the botanical gardens complex. Don't miss the butterfly habitat either; it's a dash of color for winter visitors from colder parts of the country.
• Mount Charleston Wilderness Area: Up for more outdoor adventure? The Mount Charleston Wilderness Area covers some of southern Nevada’s highest, most challenging terrain.
• Hoover Dam: They don't call it the eighth wonder of the world for nothing. And it's less than an hour from the Vegas Strip.
• Grand Canyon: Though pricey, a helicopter or small plane tour gets you there faster. Otherwise, the beautiful North Rim is a day trip at least. It's worth every minute, of course.
• Death Valley: Another day trip, at least, and also worth every minute. When else can you say you made it to the lowest place in the U.S.? Just bring plenty of water.

Culture and Entertainment in Las Vegas and Beyond

With regards to entertainment, Vegas has something for everyone. In fact, it's world-renowned as being a great destination if you're looking for something fun and exciting to do. You're spoiled for choice in Las Vegas, as there are plenty of top-quality, Michelin Star restaurants, exquisite casinos, and fantastic stage shows and performances.

Some of the best attractions in the city include:

• Fountain Show at the Bellagio: The Bellagio's world-famous fountain display is a can't-miss spectacle just off the Strip.
• High Roller Observation Wheel: Located at the LINQ, this oversized Ferris wheel offers stunning views from its 550-foot apex.
• Gondola Ride at the Venetian: Book a gondola ride through the Venetian's serene canals and be transported across the Atlantic. Like Venice without the crowds. 
• SkyPod/Observation Deck at the STRAT: The Stratosphere tower soars more than 1,000 feet above the Strip. Book some time at its observation deck and see the sights from above.
• Fremont Street: Located in downtown Vegas, north of the Strip, this is the heart of honky-tonk Old Las Vegas.
• Mob Museum: The Mafia ruled Vegas for much of the 20th century before the city cleaned up its act. The Mob Museum tells the story of that dark but thrilling past.
• Neon Museum: Where do old neon lights go when they're no longer needed? In Vegas, many end up at the Neon Museum, a spectacular showcase of Vegas history as told through its neon signage.
• SPEEDVegas: Don't own a Ferrari or Lamborghini (yet)? You can drive one here for a reasonable price, safe from other drivers (and speed limits).
