Must See Sights and Landmarks in Desert View Point Area

"The most memorable thing about The Venetian is its huge array of restaurants. It has always played a major role in the food scene in Las Vegas (especially in the celeb chef arena), and it has recently made some welcome changes. David Chang’s Majordomo Meat & Fish, inspired by its sister restaurant in Los Angeles is in; Estiatorio Milos relocated its incredible seafood (and best lunch deal on the Strip) from Cosmopolitan; and Mott 32 is some of the best Chinese food you can have on the Strip."

"Venice, Italy, is famous for its canals and singing gondoliers, but travelers won’t need a passport to ride the Grand Canal at the Venetian Casino Resort in Nevada’s largest city. The Venetian named their premier shopping mall the Grand Canal, then built a canal through it. Gondolas, complete with costumed singing gondoliers, guide their craft under bridges and balconies, and past shops with exterior décor that mimics the real thing."

"If you haven’t been to Venice (read ort itinerary here) or just love Gondola rides you can take one at The Venetian. The Venetian did a great job on replicating the canal to look just like Venice. You’ll have the option to ride inside or outside and up to four people can fit on one gondola."

"The Fremont Street Experience is mostly known for its overhead light show, Viva Vision, a spectacular display of lights and technology that fills the canopy on a regular basis. Street performers, impersonators and artists, known as buskers, are found all along the street level on Fremont Street, making a walk up and down the few blocks of the FSE feel like an adult carnival. A zip line ride, SlotZilla, zooms riders under the canopy and over the heads of the people below."

"What used to be the whistle-whetting pit stop for cowboys passing through a tumbleweed town, Old Vegas still stands. Like the champ it is, it holds its reputation for being the best in the West for its undeniable good-time allure. Hosting guests in hotels of yesteryear and winding into current times with new and renovated restaurants and entertainment as well, Downtown Las Vegas remains the most eclectic and authentic part of the city to date."

"The Fremont Street Experience is an attraction no visitor to Las Vegas should miss. Located on a five-block section of Fremont Street, known as Glitter Gulch in the city’s early years, the Fremont Street Experience is a top-notch sound and light show that will wow the senses. Colorful displays of lights and loud music take place several times a night under a 90-foot high canopy."

"You'll be delighted by the fun vibe of the Strip's newest outdoor pedestrian promenade, where you can browse the latest LA fashions, gorge yourself on cupcakes, jaburritos (where sushi rolls meet burritos!) and fish and chips, go bowling, ride the High Roller, rock out to live music, or sip pints on lazy patios beneath the desert sun."

"This is a great spot to do some shopping, enjoy a meal and to find some kid-friendly entertainment including an observation wheel and ziplines."

"“Mystere” at Treasure Island is the classic Cirque production that has a little bit of everything, and “Michael Jackson ONE” at Mandalay Bay as well as “The Beatles: LOVE” at Mirage will have your toes tapping to classic music of each show’s namesake the entire time. Also consider “KA” at MGM Grand for the adventurers and sheer acrobatics, no matter which show you decide to take in, you’re going to be blown away."

"One of the great things about Las Vegas is that you don’t have to wait for the weekend to cut loose. There are fun things to do every day and every night, especially when you visit a place like Treasure Island. Bet on black at the casino."

"Since Le Boulevard shopping center is inside the Paris Casino there is no shortage of shows and attractions to keep you entertained. Here are just a couple of recommended things to do after you’re done shopping."

"This church reminds us of the large population of Roman Catholics in Las Vegas, who was instrumental in the formation of this desert paradise. Located within “The Strip”, this church preserves the old Las Vegas in pristine condition, amidst the fast-paced urban developments. This basilica-styled church is famous for its stained-glass mural which depicts the resorts on the Strip in flames and is one of the central churches in Las Vegas."

"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."

"2233 S Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89104Phone: (702) 735-6803. Here is a wedding chapel that Hollywood producers and directors have seen fit to feature in their films. Granted, these were not academy award winning movies (Honeymoon in Vegas, Mars Attack, Indecent Proposal, and Vegas Vacation), but it does show the classic esthetic appeal of the chapel."

"It's a big surprise for many visitors to often-glitzy and frequently licentious Las Vegas, but Southern Nevada has deep roots in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith with a definitively conservative culture. Faithful from Utah set up camp along a spring-fed creek in the 1850s. Although it was abandoned within a couple of years, today's visitors can get an idea of the hard-scrabble Mojave Desert life that early pioneers faced at this restoration."

"Las Vegas was once a small stop on a mail service trail between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. In 1855, the Mormon Church settled in this area and built a permanent structure. The oldest non-Indian structures in Southern Nevada, these adobe buildings, such as the beige and red house portion, are also the oldest historic buildings standing here today."

"Before Las Vegas was Las Vegas, it was a scraggly stretch of land where nothing grew and no one lived. It wasn’t until June 14, 1855 that European settlers stumbled on the place and decided to raise a town from the dirt. These folks were Mormons, and they built the Old Mormon Fort."

"What is a list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, without including a couple of places to grab cookies?. Cookies are the dessert for people who don’t want to commit to something bigger, or maybe don’t have the room in their belly!. Crumbl Cookies is one of the best central palces to grab cookies in Las Vegas, and it’s not just the normal cookies that will catch you attention here… It’s the ice cream and cookie sandwiches!"

"Next on our list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s anything (we mean anything!) from Milk Bar. Milk bar was created by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi in 2008, and it’s a dessert place that offers a quirky and romantic spin on classic home-style desserts. It’s just so charming and delicious, it’s really hard not to be won over by this amazing little gem."

"This tea shop advertises as a "Hooters, but for boba tea," with female servers wearing lingerie throughout the establishment. The potted milk tea, ice rose milk tea, and hot Thai tea with boba are among the most requested items."

"Your next stop for great beer in Las Vegas is Hop Nuts Brewing located in the Las Vegas Arts District of Downtown. If you couldn’t guess it from the name, this brewery specializes in hop-driven beers such as citrusy IPAs. But, this isn’t all they have to offer their guests!"

"There are a few breweries in the Downtown area, but Banger Brewing is the only one surrounded by the high energy and bright lights of the Fremont Street Experience. Despite the location, the brewery and bar is a favorite of locals and a welcome detour for tourists. Opened by a group of service-industry friends, Banger Brewing is proving to be a great Las Vegas success story."

"Banger Brewing sits right along Fremont Street, one of the most eclectic, interesting, and happening streets in all of the United States. Fremont Street is Old Town Vegas and dates back to when Las Vegas itself was originally founded. It was the first paved street in Sin City and even had the first traffic light."

"Beer styles at this brewery, named for partner/brewer Michael "Banger" Beaman, are rarely conventional, with twists such as a jalapeño Hefeweizen or a watermelon wheat. Online ordering available. Find it at Neonopolis on the Fremont Street Experience."
