They say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" - but with so many websites listing literally hundreds of attractions and things to do, it is not exactly a well kept secret! There is so much more to do on a Las Vegas vacation than enjoying the nightlife and visiting casinos, so here are a few activities and accommodation ideas that you might not already have on your itinerary, and which may surprise you.
Experience the Mojave Desert!
Three miles from the Strip, you can visit the Springs Preserve, a family day out where you can learn the story of the development of Las Vegas and plans for its future. Inside, in air-conditioned comfort, you can enjoy a menagerie of the creatures that make their home in the desert. Outside, there are play areas in the eight acres of gardens and an amphitheatre where you can enjoy a concert in the evening.
Shop 'Till You Drop!
If you think that the shops in New York or London are amazing, wait until you experience what Las Vegas has to offer. In fact, if you visit the Las Vegas.com shopping pages (http://www.lasvegas.com/activities/shopping/) you will get a real flavor of what is on offer and print out your shopping Passport for Las Vegas with amazing discount coupon books on shopping and dining that you can pick up at nine different locations around the city. You might not win in the Casino, but you are guaranteed to be a winner with these savings!
Outdoor Activities You Will Love
There is something for everyone in the huge range of outdoor activities available here. World standard Golf clubs, Tennis courts and Pools; for the more adventurous, how about rock climbing, race car driving or a Wild West horseback riding experience? For a relaxing lunch or dinner experience, a cruise on Lake Mead on an authentic, Mississippi-style, Paddle Cruiser could fit the bill or a picnic lunch on a smooth water raft tour from the base of the Hoover Dam. To see the sights of Las Vegas from up, up and away, a balloon ride at sunrise or sunset is a family-friendly activity that will provide an unforgettable memory of your vacation.
Where to Stay
You will have plenty to choose from amongst the amazing hotels on the Strip - but if you want to find something just that little bit different, why not check out the website of AirBnB.co.uk? . They offer unique properties, listed by their owners (hosts) and you will find listings for everything from a single room to a luxury penthouse - and everything in between, including delightful guesthouses and private apartments with a wide range of prices to suit every budget.
