The Strip
The 6.8km stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard lined with the city's biggest casino-resorts — walkable but vast, so most visitors pick a few key stops rather than covering it end to end on foot.
Bellagio Fountains
A free choreographed water, light, and music show on the Bellagio's lake, running every 15-30 minutes from late afternoon into the night — the classic free Vegas spectacle.
Sphere
The 112-metre spherical venue wrapped entirely in programmable LED, both inside and out — its exterior displays are visible (and free to see) from much of the Strip, while shows inside require a ticket.
Fremont Street
Downtown Vegas's pedestrian mall under a canopy of 12.5 million LEDs, with a free overhead light show every hour after dark — grittier and more old-school than the Strip.
Red Rock Canyon
A 20-minute drive from the Strip, this national conservation area has a 13-mile scenic loop drive and hiking trails through red sandstone formations — a genuine desert-nature contrast to the casinos.
Grand Canyon Day Trip
The South Rim is roughly 4.5 hours by road, or the West Rim (with the glass Skywalk) about 2.5 hours — full-day bus tours and shorter helicopter tours both run from the Strip.
