Las Vegas knows how to have fun--that's one of the city's signature characteristics. Whether you want to gamble, see the sights, explore the desert, or take an adventurous tour, you'll find something guaranteed to satisfy your need for fun and excitement.
The Venetian's Grand Canal Shoppes are a good place to wander and look at the sights. They have a large selection of upscale shops and excellent restaurants. Adult and kids can enjoy themselves here (gondola rides are fun for everyone), and the Grand Canal's location means puts you right across the street from an erupting volcano and pirate show.
Outside of Las Vegas, nature lovers will find fun things to do in Red Rock Canyon, where a scenic loop takes drivers past sandstone cliffs and hiking trails. For extra points, see if you can spot a burro.
Exhibits like the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and Bodies: The Exhibit at the Luxor are fun for all ages, and are a complete departure from other attractions on the Strip. And where else but in Las Vegas could a pawn shop be a fun place to visit? Gold and Silver Pawn, the subject of a reality show on the History Channel, is located in downtown Las Vegas and attracts hundreds of visitors daily.
