"If you can't make it to Italy for a romantic gondola ride in Venice, the gondola rides at The Venetian are the next best thing. Couples float through the vibrant Venetian streetscape of the Grand Canal Shoppes, or cruise around the outside of the hotel in an authentic Venetian gondola as a talented singing gondolier sets the mood for romance, crooning romantic Italian songs like "That's Amore!" Private two-person gondolas are available, or couples can make it a double date and book a four-person gondola. A professional photographer will also be on hand to snap a few quick photos before your voyage, although couples are encouraged to bring their own cameras along as well."

"The airy central conservatory, which opens up right as you enter Bellagio, was inspired by the verdigris framework of Art Nouveau conservatories of Paris. Despite the fact that Las Vegas sits smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, you can see the changing seasons in all their glory here as the garden transforms five times per year with fresh flowers; towering animatronic butterflies and birds; burbling fountains and bobbing lanterns. Each of its seasonal “theatrical presentations” of the elements is totally new."

"The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is easily a top candidate for the most photographed spot in Las Vegas. It’s also one of the best free attractions on the Strip. On display in the hotel lobby, the exhibits change every few months based on the season (like autumn and spring), holidays (like Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving) or whatever seems to be a compelling visual (a Japanese tea garden and “Under the Sea” were recent favorites)."

"The Bellagio is one of the most elegant hotels on the strip and the Bellagio conservatory and gardens are reflective of that atmosphere in a kid friendly environment. The atrium is filled with sculptures that are changed seasonally and made entirely from flowers, trees, and plants. Bellagio fountains as seen from above."

"The Fremont Street Experience is mostly known for its overhead light show, named Viva Vision. It offers a series of free nightly shows that feature 12.5 million lights and 550,000 watts of sound, dispersed along the roofing of a “street.” It is a spectacular display of lights and technology, to say the least!. Also, street performers, impersonators, and other artists can be seen at street level."

"This entire pedestrian street (all five blocks of it) is the biggest street party happening in Las Vegas and includes a massive overhead light display that covers the street. Along with striking light shows, visitors get to check out live performances and street art along every block. If you’re a fan of ziplining, Fremont Street has another reason for visiting."

"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."

"Right in the middle of Downtown sits the remnants of an adobe fort from 1855. (Look for it across the street from a Sinclair gas station.) The site is actually the first settlement in the Las Vegas Valley by non-native Americans and was built by Mormon missionaries, then used by the US Army. The fort is now an official state park with wooden gates straddling brick walls and gravel walkways, old wagons, the first flag ever flown over Las Vegas, and the running stream that made the location so attractive in the first place."

"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."

"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."

"Nestled in a palm tree studded cove, the Fountain Sight Lounge at Callville Bay Resort and Marina gets its name from a since-removed fountain that once appeared in the marina when water levels were higher. The casual restaurant serves affordable, no-frills fare including fish and chips, burgers, and salads. Beer and wine are also available."

"The comfortable, easy-going atmosphere at Citizens Kitchen and Bar invites you to sit down and enjoy a tasty lunch with friends. The comfort food here comes in big portions, and it's as flavorful as it is big. For lunch, smaller appetites may want to stick with appetizers like the cheese quesadilla or chicken fingers."
