Bellagio Light and Water Fountain Show
This amazing hotel
has an eight acre lake located in front of the hotel. The fountain
itself is inside that lake and shows set to music and dancing water and
light occur every night. The show is 100 percent free and one of the
best attractions in Las Vegas. Some claim that the fountain is one of
the most intricate fountains ever created. Another famous Las Vegas
attraction, albeit not free, is also at Bellagio and that is
Cirque du Soleil. | |

Caesar's Palace
This hotel has been around Vegas for a
while, but if you're looking for an interesting day show, this is a sure
hit. The indoor shopping mall has a ceiling that changes as though real
weather, day, night and other effects are happening indoors. When you
come to the Atlantis Fountain, stop and rest for a bit and wait for the
next Atlantis Fountain Show where the statues come to life and have a
nice little talk that is sure to entertain. | |

this hotel that is fun for kids of all ages. A huge complex, the hotel
includes free ongoing circus shows and specialty acts, a shopping strip,
a midway with a variety of games and an indoor adventure park. The
Adventuredome is probably the most unique aspect of this hotel and
includes 25 different rides and attractions as well as games, shopping,
snacks and enough fun to last until your next vacation. | |

Eiffel Tower
Go to Las Vegas to visit Paris. The Paris
Las Vegas is a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada set up to look like the city
of Paris, complete with an Eiffel Tower. The Tower is lit at night,
giving it a beautiful glow. Rooms can be gotten for quite a reasonable
rate when the trip is booked far enough in advance or in the off season.
The
Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas is exactly half the size of the real one
in Paris, France. An elevator whisks visitors to the top, where they
have a fabulous view of the Las Vegas skyline. | |

Fremont Street
Visiting Fremont is more of an experience
than a simple sightseeing tour and that is likely why locals call this
the Fremont Street Experience. In addition to being home to some
legendary casinos, offering street entertainment and shopping, the area
is home to many restaurants. There are also regular laser light shows
that light up the area and create a dazzling effect. If you can't make
it to Vegas, then you might want to take a
virtual tour of Fremont Street. | |

Hoover Dam
While Hoover Dam isn't in the heart of downtown
Las Vegas, it is what powers the amazing lights in this town that has
sprung up in the middle of a desert. There are regular tours offered at
the dam. You can
tour the power plant to learn how the energy from the water powers
the town and how the dam is maintained. The
photograph gallery has both historic and modern pictures of the dam
from various angles and http://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/top10 of old post cards. | |

Mirage's Volcano
The Mirage hotel has an enormous
fountain in front where a light and fire show goes off every night, so
closely resembling a volcano that you almost expect to feel the earth
tremble. If the weather allows for it, the volcano erupts every night
starting at 8:00 p.m. and erupting every hour until midnight. The Mirage
also hosts various entertainers, singers and other acts to help
entertain hotel guests. Special performances are the norm, so check the
website for
details on upcoming shows. | |

Stratophere
This hotel is located on the northern end of the
Las Vegas strip, nearer to Fremont Street. On top of the Stratosphere,
which is 1,149 feet tall, there is entertainment such as a giant teeter
totter that hangs you out from the edge of the Stratosphere and a ride
called Big Shot. These rides are not for the faint of heart or anyone
who has a paralyzing fear of heights. The hotel also offers
entertaining, dining and nightlife. | |
|
|
|
 |
The Strip
The strip encompasses numerous casinos and
attractions from the north end of the strip all the way to the south.
Because there are so many unique and wonderful attractions in Las Vegas,
it would be impossible to list them all in a single list. However,
walking The Strip will showcase many of the hotels not mentioned here,
such as New York New York and MGM.
The Strip really lights up at night, so you won't want to miss it in
the evening. | |

Venetian
If you've ever wanted to visit Venice but can't
quite make it to Italy, you'll likely love the Venetian. Take a Gondola
ride through the hotel and you'll almost believe you're in the real
Venice. Get a complete list of
currently playing entertainment. There are also nightclubs, swimming
and, of course, gambling. Because the Venetian is such a beautiful
hotel, many weddings are conducted on the premises. | |
