Top Attractions in Las Vegas

by Bodog Casino | Feb 18 2009

Vegas is a beautiful place, isn’t it? A place exclusively for gambling, drinking and things you don’t tell your kids (or parents) about when you come back home.

But, believe it or not, there are other things to do in Sin City besides… well sin. We know it’s wracking your brain trying to figure out what those things could possibly be. That’s why we’ve decided to help you out by giving you the top attractions to check out in Vegas.

Bellagio Fountains
You saw the end of Ocean’s 11 didn’t you? After Ocean and the rest of his crew rob a casino for millions they all met up at the Bellagio Fountains. It doesn’t do anything special: it’s just a show where the water dances back and forth to the pace of some soothing music. But we can’t think of a smoother way to finish your Vegas trip.

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
Skip “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel and check out the real thing at Mandalay Bay: Shark Reef. There you’ll find numerous species of sharks, marine invertebrates and rays all in a cool ancient sunken temple themed locale. Walk through a tunnel where sharks surround you and you can actually put your fingers in the touch tank. No other Las Vegas attraction allows you to touch living sea animals.

Manhattan Express Roller Coaster at New York/New York Resort
Our advice, don’t try this attraction while hung over. Located in the New York/New York Las Vegas resort this roller coaster will take you to up 203 feet, drop you144 feet and go up to 67 MPH. It also features the world's first "heartline" twist and dive maneuver, allowing riders to experience the thrilling force of negative g's! Don’t try this one after hitting up an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Gondola Ride at the Venetian
If you looking for a little more romance than an evening at the Gentleman’s Club, we suggest getting you and your significant other a gondola ride at the Venetian. Ride through the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola as you go under the bridges, pass by the cafes and more. Your gondolier even serenades you with a romantic song.

Eiffel Tower at Paris, Las Vegas
If you’re looking for a little bit of Paris flavor but feel like dodging all the snooty French we suggest checking out the Eiffel Tower at the Paris resort. The view from top of the tower is amazing, and you can even take the time to visit the restaurant in the tower.

Freemont Street
Not many things in Vegas are free; however, if you head to downtown Vegas at around 8:30 you’ll get to see one of the most energetic shows in Vegas. Using lots of lights, sounds and huge screens, the show on Freemont is one of the coolest free lightshows you’ll ever see.
