ATTRACTIONS
Adventuredome
Circus Circus
702-794-3939
For the child in all of us (and your own children, of course), this indoor theme park provides a few hours of fun rides and games as well as respite from the desert heat.
Atomic Testing Museum
755 E. Flamingo Rd.
702-794-5161
A local favorite, this museum shows just how things used to be blown up around here in the old days. Luckily the only things exploding around here now are the old casinos being brought down to make way for new ones.
Bellagio Conservatory and Botancal Gardens
702-793-7111
It’s amazing how these seasonal displays are designed and executed with flowers and other vegetation plus nuts, berries and other gifts from nature. Even Martha Stewart’s not this creative.
BODIES...The Exhibition
Tropicana
702-739-2411
This exhibition takes nudity a step beyond the norm. Tons of well-preserved, real human bodies show every gory detail from inside out.
Eiffel Tower Experience
Paris Las Vegas
702-946-7000
If you can’t make it to Europe in your lifetime, Vegas provides the next best thing with attractions such as this half-size replica of Paris’ own Eiffel Tower. Fall in love at the top (just don’t fall from it).
Ethel M Chocolates
One Sunset Way
702-433-2500
Mmmmmm.... chocolatey goodness abounds at the Ethel M factory where you can take a self-guided tour and also enjoy the Botanical Cactus Garden, an odd combination but well worth the visit.
Flyaway Indoor Skydiving
200 Convention Center Drive
702-731-4768
Get the best blow of your life...straight up into the air, that is. This free-fall experience is a heckuva lot safer than the alternative.
Fountains at Bellagio

Few things in Vegas are more romantic than kissing your date in front of the world-famous Fountains at Bellagio with shows throughout the evening.
Hoover Dam
35 miles southeast on Highway 93
702-294-3523
One of the great engineering marvels of all time, the Hoover Dam was fictionalized in the recent summer blockbuster, Transformers. Visit the dam and learn about its real purpose, regulating the flow of the Colorado River to create Lake Mead.
Liberace Museum
1775 E. Tropicana Ave.

Venetian Resort Hotel Casino
702-862-7800
You can name drop all you want after visiting this world-famous attraction. Show all your friends the pics you took with Ben, Brad, Julia, Whoopi, Bette, Elton and Dubya. It’s a damn shame they’re all made of wax.
Maverick Helicopter Tours
6075 Las Vegas Blvd. S.
702-261-0007 / 866-644-8687
Jet helicopters will whisk you from Sin City to America’s biggest hole in the ground (the Grand Canyon) for a climate-controlled, personally-narrated tour.
M&M’s World
Showcase Mall
702-740-2504
Ever wonder why the M&M’s you buy at the store don’t quite come in every shade of the gay rainbow? They do at this unique shop, with dozens of shades in between. Contrary to popular belief, though, the green ones don’t really make you horny.
Mount Charleston
35 miles north on Highway 95
702-872-5500
Chill out in this mile-high alpine environment in the Toiyabe National Forest and ski in nearby Lee Canyon during the winter months. Life is definitely good at the top.
Red Rock Canyon
20 miles west on Charleston Blvd.

Whoever created this planet was truly an artist, evidenced by the magnificent colored sandstone formations found only a short distance west of the Vegas Valley.
Springs Preserve

Recently opened, the Springs Preserve offers colorful botanical gardens, beautiful desert trails and tons of interactive exhibits in the Desert Living Center. In 2009, the Nevada State Museum will open on site..
