You simply can’t visit Vegas and forgo a trip to the iconic Bellagio Resort. The high-end hotel complex is a sight for sore eyes.

2.Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

Following in Bellagio Resort’s footsteps, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is just as impressive. It offers a ton of activities for couples, kids, and families. Shark Reef Aquarium is easily one of the most impressive treats Mandalay Bay has to offer! It houses over 2,000 animals, including green sea turtles, a wide variety of sharks, and so much more. 

The enormous 1,300,000-gallon tank can leave even the most hard-to-please person with their jaw on the floor. In addition to Shark Reef Aquarium, make some time for the remaining attractions and restaurants. Mandalay Bay also offers a bustling nightlife. 

Treat yourself to the lounges, bars, and clubs. As you soak in the splendor of the sights and sounds, you’ll manage to do justice to your iconic Las Vegas trip!

3.Madame Tussauds

Over the years, heading to Madame Tussauds has become a rite of passage for Las Vegas travelers. Vegas does it like no other. Watch your favorite celebrities come to life right before your eyes! The wax figures are so lifelike, it’s almost eerie. 

Pose for pictures alongside Elvis Presley, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Sofia Vergara, Bradley Cooper, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Shaquille O’Neal, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, and countless other stars! Located in the Las Vegas Strip, Madame Tussauds is a must-see for tourists. 

4. Red Rock Canyon

If you’re a nature enthusiast, this one’s for you. As one of the most popular tourist attractions Vegas has to offer, Red Rock Canyon is a visual treat. As you feast your eyes on the colorful rock formations and embark on the exciting hiking trails, you’ll feel transported to a different world altogether. You can also opt for a scenic drive along the Red Rock Canyon. The panoramic view of the valley shouldn’t be missed for anything! 

5. Fremont Street

If you ask locals for a list of the most iconic locations in Vegas, Fremont Street will most probably top the list. If not, it’ll at least make it to the top three! Located in old downtown Vegas, Fremont Street is for the heart and soul. The unique, bustling, and eclectic area is replete with aromatic food stands, souvenir shops, and casinos. 

For an unforgettable experience, head to Neon Museum, Mob Museum, and the SlotZilla Zip Line. In addition, make sure you take in the magic and enchantment of the incredible Viva Vision Light Show that features over 12.5 million LED lamps.

6. High Roller

When finalizing your itinerary, make sure you squeeze in High Roller. As the world’s tallest observation wheel, High Roller is truly one for the books. Find yourself 550 feet above the center of the Las Vegas Strip. While the experience sounds magical, it’s twice (or perhaps thrice) as spectacular. 

As you get a sweeping 360-degree view of Vegas, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world—both literally and metaphorically. You can also opt for a VIP cabin to add a touch of sophistication and luxuriousness to your trip. Either way, you’re in for quite a treat! To top it all off, head to Breeze Daiquiri for frozen drinks. 

7. The Stratosphere Tower

Love heights? While experiencing Vegas’ classic High Tower is a great way to satiate your thirst for elevation, it’s not enough. The Stratosphere Tower offers a wide range of thrilling rides, including Big Shot, Insanity, X Scream, and many more. 

You can also head to Top of the World for delicious dinner and an incredible view of the city. The restaurant revolves 360 degrees in 80 minutes. Sounds exhilarating? It is! For the ultimate experience, treat yourself to their wild caught shrimp cocktail, ravioli, rack of lamb, pan roasted sea scallops, and twice baked potato. 

This is an experience that won’t leave your mind any time soon!
