Love travel and design? Then you’ll love Las Vegas. Sin City has rightly earned its reputation for being one of the world’s best travel destinations, but it also has a lot to offer from a design perspective, too. You’ll find styles of buildings in Las Vegas that you just won’t find anywhere else.
Some people visit Las Vegas again and again, but if you live in Canada, you’ll likely only visit once or twice in your life. As such, it’s worthwhile ensuring that your visit is as memorable as possible — after all, this might be a one-time thing! We’ll run through some handy tips for having an experience that lives long in the memory.
Book A Penthouse Suite
Las Vegas has some of the world’s best hotels. It’s also a city where your money goes a long, long way. You’ll find that it’s much more affordable to book a top-of-the-line suite in Las Vegas than it is in virtually every other tourist destination.
So it’s worthwhile increasing your accommodation slightly so that you snag a penthouse suite that you talk about for the rest of your life. You’ll find outstanding suite options at all the major hotels, but if you’re looking for the best of the best, then opt for The Bellagio — it’s pretty special watching the famous fountain show from the comfort of your own balcony.
Compete in a Poker Tournament
Las Vegas is the world’s leading casino town. In fact, that’s probably doing Vegas a disservice. Sin City is really in a league of its own. To experience Vegas to the fullest, consider taking part in one of the city’s major poker tournaments.
Many of them are open to all players, though you’ll need some experience in order to perform well since tournament play is slightly different from playing in cash games. It can be challenging to even find poker tournaments, let alone gain entry to them, but there are options available, especially if you’re used to playing online. Entering the Power Path is an effective way to gain entry to the biggest live and online poker tournaments, which can provide a great warm-up for a trip to Las Vegas. The biggest poker tournaments tend to take place in the summer months, but you’ll likely find tournaments taking place regardless of when you travel.
Take a Helicopter Ride To The Grand Canyon
It’s rare that an article outlining what to do in a travel destination involves leaving that place, but then again, most travel destinations don’t have Grand Canyon National Park located nearby. You can drive out to the Grand Canyon in a matter of hours, but we’d recommend taking a helicopter journey.
These trips are fast, affordable, and give you a unique perspective not only of the Grand Canyon but also of Las Vegas. It’s pretty amazing traveling back into the city via helicopter when all the buildings are lit up.
See a World Class Show
Las Vegas isn’t just the casino capital of the world; it’s also the entertainment capital of the world. You’ll find some of the world’s greatest shows in Sin City, and no trip is complete without attending at least one. If you’re looking to have the most modern Vegas experience, then consider visiting the Sphere, which has quickly its reputation as being the best entertainment venue on the planet. Other shows worth considering include Cirque Du Soleil, the Blue Man Group, and V the Ultimate Variety Show.
Take a Ride
If you’ve taken a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon, then you’ll already have had one fun experience in a fast-moving mode of transport. How about another? Las Vegas offers the chance for keen car enthusiasts to take a ride in an exotic supercar. If you’ve ever dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari but don’t quite have enough cash in your bank account to buy one yourself, then head over to Exotics Racing for the next best thing. The only downside is that driving your own vehicle might feel a bit boring after, but we think it’s worth taking the chance.
