10 fun things to do in Las Vegas
With market week upon us, National Jeweler has put together a list of 10 exciting, adventurous and relaxing things to do in Las Vegas when shows are over or, for those who miraculously manage to find free time, during them.
The “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada” sign has greeted visitors to Sin City since 1959. It was created by a woman named Betty Willis, one of the city’s first commercial artists, and is on both the national and state Register of Histori
New York--With market week upon us, National Jeweler has put together a list of 10 exciting, adventurous and relaxing things to do in Las Vegas when shows are over or, for those who miraculously manage to find free time, during them.
Options include a controlled freefall, learning more about the history of the mafia, swimming alongside sharks or, simply, relaxing at a spa.
Read on for more.
1. SkyJump Las Vegas. Thrill-seeking patrons of our industry, rejoice. Take a controlled freefall off the top of the Stratosphere, the 113-floor tower that also is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the world. Get info on the specifics, hours and pricing here.
2. Take an off-roading adventure. Hop on an ATV or dune buggy and race through the Las Vegas desert. A number of companies offer these activities, but Sun Buggy and Adrenaline star reviews on Yelp.
3. Visit a museum. Las Vegas has a lot of them, including the Neon Museum, which features signs from old casinos, the Mob Museum, the National Atomic Testing Museum and Titanic, The Artifact Museum at the Luxor.
4. Jewelers for Children’s Rings of Strength Tour. Non-stop appointments, parties and dinners during the Vegas shows leave little room for hitting the gym. Squeeze in a workout on May 29 by participating in Jewelers for Children’s second annual Rings of Strength tour, a race open to walkers, runners and cyclers that benefits JFC. Get involved here.
5. The Las Vegas Springs Preserve. Tune into nature at the preserve, which features 180 acres of botanical gardens, museums, traveling exhibits and trails.
6. Drive exotic cars. World Class Driving offers round-trip tours from Las Vegas to the Red Rock Canyon in exotic vehicles, and also offers racing experiences, among other car-related adventures.
7. Relax at the spa. Break for a message, body treatment, facial or “couples ritual,” among many other options, the Wynn’s and Encore’s lavish spas.
8. The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. This 1.3 million gallon aquarium is home to more than 2,000 animals, and features a Touch Pool with sharks, rays and horseshoe crabs. You also have the option to swim alongside sharks, sawfish, green sea turtles and fish.
9. Ride the High Roller observation wheel. This wheel features 28 spherical glass-enclosed cabins that hold up to 40 people. The ride lasts 30 minutes. Cabins are available for private parties and
bartenders can be hired to serve drinks during the ride.
10. For those still yearning for adventure after the SkyJump and High Roller, head over to the Thrill Rides on the top of the Stratosphere. Their rides are the Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity.
