8 Best Spots in Las Vegas for the Less Adventurous…Not!

written by Mae

Please take extra precaution when travelling.

It’s not unusual that hearsay, television shows and movies greatly influence how one perceives or sees things. Las Vegas is one of the many cities that has fallen victim to this. Sadly, there are misconceptions flared by the media that have hindered many to book a trip to this fabulous city…which is as normal as your regular state; schools, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, and everything that makes every metropolitan function are available.

No, it’s not only gambling or eating all day or being vain when you visit Sin city – which admittedly, would be the reasons that it has been christened such. The city promises fun not limited to the same card games you play online like blackjack, poker, and solitaire (which was discontinued) along with slots, there’s indoor kart racing, virtual reality arena, a heavy equipment playground, and escape game rooms too. You can enjoy buffets of many different cuisines at different times of the day and also do high-end to day by day shopping.

There are many attractions that kids and kids at heart would both enjoy. You can even go around in a limousine if you fancy, or any other car that you like. If you ever find yourself bound to a trip to the Sin city, make sure that you have readied yourself for a list of cool events to engage in and things to do and see.

Sin City Virgin: What to do in Vegas for the First Time

written by Mae

Las Vegas is the ultimate Sin City and making a visit to this amazing place requires early planning. This applies to anyone regardless of whether it is the first or a subsequent visit. Being a first timer may be a little harder but it does not mean that an individual will not have a wonderful time.

Ideally, the most important thing to remember is that planning, which involves putting up an estimated budget, making reservations and knowing what to expect once you arrive into the city, requires time and research. This is because the city is full of activities that accommodate any type of individual, and doing all of them in one visit is almost impossible.

Here are some tips for a Sin City Virgin:

Making that trip to the Sin City obviously indicates that you have already made plans on where to stay for the duration that you will be there and have someone who can show you around; either a friend or a tour guide. Well the idea is to make the most of your time.

Do and See more in Las Vegas

written by Mae

Las Vegas, nicknamed the Gambling Capital of the World, Sin City, the Entertainment Capital of the World, Capital of Second Chances, the Marriage Capital of the World is also a city that never sleeps – literally. It’s not a city for everyone though, certainly not for children despite the efforts of bringing in entertainment suited for them, the nickname Sin City is too strong to wipe all that.

Consider Las Vegas as the Disneyland for adults. It’s an artificial environment that spells fun and takes away the inhibition to be free to do something you think you wouldn’t while being there. For kids in Disneyland, that’s to become a child. For adults in Las Vegas, well, I won’t spell that out. Anyway if you’re still one who thinks ill of Las Vegas, here are some of the things you could do there.

Venetian, Las Vegas

Ride a Gondola at the Venetian. Indoor or outdoor, you will have a feel of Venice albeit cleaner at this top hotel/resort. Enjoy the ride with a loved one in an authentic Venetian gondola down the Grand Canal — though smaller than the original, experience going about beneath bridges, beside cafes, under balconies and through the vibrant Venetian streetscape. Your singing gondolier (who also wears the same striped shirts of gondoliers in Venice) will serenade you along.

Las Vegas’ Venetian is cleaner of course.

Go Buffeting 🙂

Buffets. Fancy eating sushi, pasta, pizza, barbecue, burgers, steaks, cakes and ice cream or panna cotta and macarons? How about all of them? The Las Vegas strip has them all day long. Pick from a plethora of choices and you won’t be disappointed whichever you get. If you’re a shrimphead consider having Shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate’s San Francisco Shrimp Bar & Deli @ 1 Fremont Street for only $1.99! Still at the same price at it was in 1959. Be wary though, Sin city makes it literal because you can turn out to be a glutton while here. ^_^

If you are one who play free bingo online and online fruit/slot machines then you’d certainly enjoy the real ones. A lot of casinos in Las Vegas offer a wide range of slots and VP machines numbering in hundreds. Of course, you play not just for fun but with the hope to win too. Just always remember that this is a game of chance…no one particular person can win a million overnight. ^_^

Art Enthusiast? Visit the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. At 15$, you can view world-class exhibitions of art and objects drawn from internationally known museums and private collections. Yes 15$, you can view more at a bigger gallery but it’s the Bellagio honey, so stay longer and watch the choreographed water feature of your favorite song. So here’s one, the water fountain dancing to “Time to Say Goodbye” by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman..

There are a lot more fun things to do in Las Vegas like visiting the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at Mirage, the Aquarium at Silverton (which is free) and has fish feeding hours too. There are circuses to watch, flamingos and exotic birds to see and of course shopping…whoever goes to Las Vegas without shopping? Grab a souvenir too to bring home to your mom when you’re there!
