Must See Sights and Landmarks in Las Vegas Area

"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."

"Another casino built as a monument to one man, the Venetian is the brainchild of multibillionaire gambling mogul Sheldon Adelson. Adelson wanted the Venetian to be the biggest and best casino on The Strip when it opened in 1999, and his $1.3 billion investment certainly shows even today. Personally, I enjoy the blend of modern luxury with Old World stylings, as the Venetian is themed around Venice and its famous canals."

"Operating for over 15 years, the TAO at the Venetian is a massive 12,000 square-foot club that literally has something for everyone. With countless Eastern-inspired rooms to explore and indulge, the TAO houses multiple types of music, from EDM to Hip-Hop. What’s more is when all that dancing leaves you feeling peckish, you can run down to the TAO restaurant below the club for an Asian-fusion bite."

"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."

"Although the attention-grabber at the LINQ Promenade is the High Roller, there’s more to keep you rapt at the open-air retail, entertainment and dining district around it. Opened in 2018, Fly LINQ is the first and only zip line on the Las Vegas Strip, while there’s always a new pop-up attraction like 2019’s Tattoo’d America, celebrating tattoos and body art. Vegas-native Jimmy Kimmel has a comedy club to his name on the promenade, while there are more than 40 shops, bars and eateries at the dynamic marketplace."

"The LINQ Promenade is an exciting landing place when visiting Las Vegas. It offers plenty to do. You can visit 3535 for a bar-lovers paradise or you can walk the entire promenade to see auto collections, shopping, dining and meeting spaces...."

"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."

"The Bellagio “O” Theatre Lobby – This 8,000 square foot modern Las Vegas art gallery space features over 20 works by the artist. Crystals Place at CityCenter – View over 50 bronze sculptures displayed in the 3,600 square foot gallery. Richard MacDonald is a celebrated sculptor and leading advocate of the neo-figurative movement in the arts."

"The easily recognizable Crystals at CityCenter brings together couture fashion, gourmet cuisine and high-quality entertainment in an interactive and abstract 21st century park.[Learn more]"

"Dinner on the patio at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas is obligatory. This quaint French café serves up damn-fine meals and offers an incredible dining experience. As you’re sipping on bubbly and replenishing your energy reserves, turn your attention to stage west, a.k.a.The Bellagio Fountains. Performing their water ballet every 15 minutes from 8 p.m."

"Located on the Strip, Paris Las Vegas is one of the most easily recognized resorts in the city. Out front is a scale model of the Eiffel Tower, and down the way is a recreation of the Paris Opera House. Forty-six stories above the city streets, the Eiffel Tower Experience is an observation deck with incredible 360-degree views."

"The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bridge, crosses the Colorado River between the states of Arizona and Nevada and is world renowned for its impressive feats of engineering. The 1,500-foot-long four-lane highway bridge rests 890 feet above the Colorado River and is the second-highest bridge in the United States. It also features the world's tallest concrete columns of their kind and is the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere."
