Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Desert View Point

"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 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."

"On a hot summer day if you’re looking for some indoor attractions for kids, this is a safe bet. It’s free, in the Bellagio’s lobby and changes with every season and holiday. There are thousands of plants and flowers that are nicely divided into various color themes."

"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."

"“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."

"This Las Vegas Attraction is perfect your little Avenger fans!. At this attraction you can delve into the history, science, engineering, genetics, technology and profiles of Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man!"

"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."

"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."

"Vegas has many buildings more than 20 stories tall, but only Stratosphere exceeds 100 and boasts the nation's highest thrill rides. Atop the 1149ft-high tapered tripod tower, vertiginous indoor and outdoor viewing decks afford Vegas' best 360-degree panoramas. 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."

"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."

"The Eddie Griffin Experience brings raunchy laughter to the SAHARA Las Vegas. His relaxed demeanor helps create a comfortable atmosphere as he explores every-day experiences in a funny light. Eddie has been in comedy for 30 years, and he uses this experience to bring special expertise to his comedy."

"SLS Las VegasWash down the famous Truffle Burger with a cold craft beer, while hanging out on a picnic table under chandeliers that appear to be made from deer antlers. If you need a little more action, head inside to place a bet… where William Hill has set up a sports book inside the restaurant."

"Arrived in Las Vegas at 7am, called an Uber and headed straight to the hotel, SLS Las Vegas. Once we dropped off our luggage at the front desk, we had breakfast at the Northside Cafewhich is located inside the SLS hotel."

"One of the best things to do when on a vacation to Vegas is to check out some of the many cool museums in the area. The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History is completely free and will help children learn more about native Southwestern American Indian tribes, ancient Mexico and much more local history. Admission to the museum, which opens at 9 AM on weekdays and noon on Saturdays, is perfect for kids curious about the world around them."

"Located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Barrick Museum features rotating exhibitions of everything from contemporary paintings to glass work to Ansel Adams' legendary collection of photography. Its well-curated collections and fun, hip vibe make it the perfect place to escape to for an hour or two. Admission is also free—perfect if you've been dealt a losing hand on the Strip."
