Las Vegas is known for many things: gambling, good restaurants, big hotels, and endless nightlife. It is, after all, the city of sins. But what makes Las Vegas truly unique is its freedom. In Las Vegas, anything is possible. Really anything. You can gamble at any casino you want, eat at any type of restaurant you fancy, and drink at themed bars beyond your wildest expectations. There are no curfews or dress codes, and you will notice that on the Strip. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. And it’s all perfectly safe. Police, security guards, and other crowds are out in droves, regardless of the time of day/night. Sin in Las Vegas is great because it is the ultimate city of freedom.
What makes Vegas special?
In a city with a slogan like “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” it’s no wonder this desert oasis has become a mecca for bachelor and bachelorette parties and wild weekends away for groups of friends. But what makes Vegas so unique?
The city has a vast range of everything – from first-class restaurants and bars to world-famous museums and pool parties. And, of course, there are shows featuring major world stars that entertain visitors day and night.
But beyond the prominent attractions, there is something about Vegas that makes you feel alive. Maybe it’s the energy of the city itself, or perhaps it’s the fact that there is always something new to see and do. You are there, and you feel it. Senses are stimulated by all the (not so) beauty you behold on a simple walk along the strip. And that’s where my first tip begins.
The Strip: adult entertainment
The Las Vegas Strip is a place where half-naked women, imposing casinos, and an endless stream of specialty stores like an M&M’s store come together to create a unique atmosphere. This is a place where you can see some of the most famous sights in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Within walking distance of each other (Which is actually possible in Paris). On the strip, there are also all kinds of things to do continuously.
You may think only of casinos and gambling. However, there is much more to see on the strip! You can score tickets to unique shows, book a shooting session with a tank or explore some of the city’s best museums.
If you’re looking for something to do on the Las Vegas Strip, consider scoring tickets to one of the unique shows. These include Cirque du Soleil, Penn & Teller, and Blue Man Group. You can also find shows featuring famous musicians like Bruno Mars (drool) and comedians like Carrot Top already made many a belly shake. We won’t talk about Britney Spears’ failure a few years ago.
However, if you are looking for a more active experience on the Las Vegas Strip, consider booking a shooting session with a tank! Or order one of the hookers from the flyers stuffed into your hands. This is a great way to blow off some steam and have fun. And perfectly legal there! (The shooting. Prostitution is illegal)
Downtown: a different kind of naughty
Downtown Las Vegas is quickly becoming a destination for tourists looking for a different kind of vacation or just in the mood for an even bigger culture shock than the one they already had. The area is home to a number of cannabis dispensaries, as well as the Freemont Street Experience, which offers free performances at night. Trendy container parks and smaller concert halls also pop up downtown, making it the perfect place to experience all Las Vegas offers. Everything is a little hipper, more modern, and at the same time, a little dingier than the Strip. However, Two recommended museums in this area are the MOB Museum and the Neon Museum. Both are interesting, with a historical aspect. MOB museum tells real stories about the atmosphere at the time of the Ratpack; the Neon museum houses a series of neon advertising corpses from the Strip throughout history.
Got hungry from all the corpses? Then be sure to hop on the scale at the heart attack grill. All fried in extra fat; if you survive, you’ll be spanked by the waitress/nurse. Male versions for the female customers who can’t finish their American portion. Fun fun fun, fun.
Beyond the casinos: alternative activities
What else is there to do in Las Vegas beyond the casinos? I get asked this question a lot when I enthusiastically talk about my favorite destination.
Well, um, just like any other visitable city: museums, shows, star-worthy drinking, and dining inns. Experiences like shooting with an automatic weapon are pretty easy to book there. Where you can also find bullets: the place where Tupac was shot in 1996. A little further on, you can play Luxurious golf without walking onto the green at Topgolf. And, of course, Nature. You don’t expect it, but really. For example, Zion national park is only a few hours away, and the Valley of Fire, in addition to your rigid opinion of the city of sins, will thaw you out too. Also feasible from Vegas and definitely worth going: Death Valley and the Grand Canyon.
So Las Vegas is much more than just casinos. The city offers countless attractions, including museums, theater shows, and Michelin-starred restaurants. The nature surrounding Las Vegas is also beautiful.
Why you must go to Las Vegas
There are many reasons why you, as an adult, should definitely visit Las Vegas. You won’t be disappointed, from the games and fun to the many experiences and discoveries. And the climate. In the summer, walking outside the air conditioning may be a little hot, but throughout most of the year, visit under a pleasant sun.
You’ll feel the freest you’ve ever felt and have the time of your life. So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and head to Las Vegas today! Karoadtrips says the trip is worth it.
