"Review: The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian will transport you to romantic Venice as soon as you set foot inside. Featuring grand architecture, gorgeous canal, gondolas, waterfalls and more, this is definitely not your average Las Vegas mall!. The highlight of this romantic mall is the Grand Canal where you can enjoy a romantic ride on a gondola and kiss under the bridge."

"Make sure you add this oasis to your list next time you visit Sin City. Spread out over 134,000 square-feet and with more than 90 treatment rooms, you should have a plan beforehand, because you will want to try them all. If you have to pick, consider the Aquavana Hydrothermal Experience."

"We continued walking around through more hotels and ended up at The Venetian. While at The Venetian, we experienced the indoor Gondola Ride (seats 4 people max). What an amazing 15 minute ride!. We were given blue roses before going on the gondola and our guide sang in french!"

"Now that we've seen all or nearly all free attractions on the Strip, we go to downtown for a taste of "old Vegas" - the Fremont Street Experience. Be sure to arrive any time between dawn and dusk to watch a grandiose show of light and sound on the large LED canopy installed on top of the Fremont Street Experience. The show of light called Viva Vision runs every hour on the hour and each show is about 6 minutes long."

"In old downtown Las Vegas, Fremont Street is a pedestrian-only area with all kinds of unique sites. A five-block section of Fremont Street is covered over with a canopy of LED lights that illuminate the sky in a spectacle of different colors and designs as you walk below. Known as the Fremont Street Experience, each night a fantastic music and visual show takes place overhead."

Between The Linq Hotel and the Flamingo, The Linq Promenade is a safe, bustling pedestrian walkway where you’ll find 200,000 square feet of stores, restaurants and entertainment. Here you’ll find everything from a souvenir shop (because of course you have to get something that screams Las Vegas) to a 2 story candy shop, and everything in between."

"The Linq Promenade has some of the best shops around, like the I Heart Sugar Store with a Chocolate Martini Bar. Not to mention the Linq, which is a great, slow ride that lets you see the entire strip while enjoying a casual (Not scary at all, time) LOL It has tons of street performers and vendors as well as great food and fun."

"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...."

"It was built up by missionaries in 1855, this fortification is viewed as the origin of Las Vegas. The state memorable stop is arranged on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, only south of the Washington Avenue intersection, one mile from Fremont Street in the downtown zone, and neighboring the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. The river that once streamed past, starting from Las Vegas Springs toward the west, vanished sometime for many reasons including the poor pumping of the water at the source; rather a reproduction has been introduced, streaming along a solid course through a short passageway of trees on the south side of the complex."

"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."

"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."

"There are plenty of rock, metal, and punk bars with live music and ass-kicking jukeboxes. But a rock club is a little bit harder to come by. Count’s Vamp’d is a nightclub entirely dedicated to all things rock and metal."

"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

"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."
