"As much as we love fish and rainforests, we need to move on - we have completely different free Las Vegas shows waiting for us at The Venetian Hotel, or, in particular, at the Grand Canal Shoppes. Here, we are going to watch a beautiful Italian themed production of Carnevale di Venezia, also known as Streetmosphere - incredibly beautiful free Las Vegas shows, where "Street" performers dressed in costumes of Italian Renaissance period, sing Italian songs and opera. They have a complex schedule, but performances start at 12:00 p.m."

"A five-block pedestrian mall, between Main St and N Las Vegas Blvd, topped by an arched steel canopy and filled with computer-controlled lights, the Fremont Street Experience has brought life back Downtown. Every evening, the canopy is transformed by light-and-sound shows enhanced by 550,000 watts of wraparound sound and a larger-than-life screen lit up by 12.5-million synchronized LEDs. Soar through the air on ziplines strung underneath the canopy from Slotzilla, a 12-story, slot-machine-themed platform. Gaudy, yes. Weird, yes. Busy: always."

"This glitzy feast for the eyes and ears takes place hourly after dark on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. Projected on a canopy 90 feet above the pedestrian mall and stretching for five blocks between Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard, this light and sound show has rotating themes, from aliens to patriotism, and includes a tribute to the rock band Queen.

"Vegas has many buildings more than 20 stories tall, but only Stratosphere exceeds 100 and boasts the nation's highest thrill rides.

There you'll also find Top of the World, a revolving restaurant, and the jazzy 107 SkyLounge cocktail bar. To get to the top of Vegas' lucky landmark, ride one of America's fastest elevators, lifting you 108 floors in a mere 37 ear-popping seconds."

"With our bathing suits tucked in our oversized purses we headed to Radius, the 25th floor roof top pool lounge at the Stratosphere where we spent the rest of the day recovering from our three previous busy days and soaking in the hot desert sun without dying from it’s heat. It was the perfect way to end our time in Vegas, relaxing before we had to make our way to dinner and then to the airport for our midnight flights back home."

"If you dare (and we’re triple dog daring you), take the 829-foot plunge via The Sky Jump at the Stratosphere for an ultimate adrenaline rush. Don’t worry, you’re completely harnessed into the controlled fall but we promise that jumping off this tower is a total rush. However, if you prefer the safer side of things, this ain’t for you, Boo."
