Las Vegas is a place that is known for its 24-hour casinos, cabaret and nightclubs, fine dining restaurants, and luxury hotels. Visiting Vegas the first time can be very exciting and challenging. Deciding where to start and which places to see takes time, and if you don't spend your time wisely you may not get the most out of your Las Vegas experience. Fortunately, we've prepared four essential things that you can include in your bucket list.
1. Experience the Thrill at the top of The Stratosphere
Considered one of the most exciting attractions in Las Vegas, the iconic Stratosphere Tower is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and second tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere. The Stratosphere offers rides that are perfectly suited for thrill-seekers and adrenalin junkies. Scream as loud as you can in X-Scream, or be a hero and try the SkyJump and earn your bragging rights from jumping at an official height of 829 ft. Also try the heart-pounding Insanity ride and the gut-wrenching Big Shot, a 160-ft. tower ride that accelerates at 45 mph.
Helpful Tip: If you want to experience all the thrilling rides, you can purchase an extreme value package that comes with tower admission and all day unlimited rides.
2. See Dust Fly on an Awesome Desert ATV Adventure
Go out on a desert trip and try the extreme ATV Adventure. Ride a series of trails past sandstone cliffs and red rock formations. You can also enjoy a 1-day package tour that includes a ride on your own. The vehicles are easy to operate with automatic transmission. See the views of Lake Mead and the entrance to the Grand Canyon when you drive to the top of the mesas. Take photos at Nevada's oldest state park.
Helpful Tip: You can inquire about ATV tour packages and additional information at your hotel's front desk. Local service providers usually have free hotel pickups from most centrally located Las Vegas hotels.
3. Dine at The Griddle Café, also known as the 'Disneyland of Breakfast'
The Griddle Café is famous for breakfast in Las Vegas. The generous sized portions and belief that breakfast should be available at all times makes The Griddle Café an iconic Las Vegas establishment. Try their scrumptious signature Mom's French toast, banana pancakes, their original baked potato omelette and a delicious shrimp BLT. This is absolutely the best breakfast experience you will have while in Vegas.
Helpful Tip: The café doesn't take reservations between 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. There is "call ahead seating" that is very convenient, and all you have to do is call before you head out the door. Phone: (855) 761-7757
4. Viva Vision and Free Concerts at Fremont Street
Aside from going on a shopping spree at the five-block area of Fremont Street, the main attraction here is the Viva Vision light show with 12.5 million LED lights. It provides impressive entertainment for visitors. Another spectacular way to see the lights of Fremont Street is by flying on the SlotZilla Zip Line. Your Fremont Street experience won't be complete without watching free concerts from well-known bands like 3 Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, Fuel and more.
Helpful Tip: The light shows last about 6 minutes and run every hour from dusk (typically 6-8 p.m. depending on the season) till midnight. In the summer, shows run until 1 a.m.
There are many attractions and activities you can add to our list. To check everything off yours, plan ahead to make the most of your trip. One more piece of advice: While the saying "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" clearly isn't referring to your hotel stay, you still have to book a hotel in Las Vegas that suits your needs and budget. The right hotel is out there - now go find it!
