Frommer’s Favorite Las Vegas Experiences

A Stroll on the Strip After Dark. You haven’t really seen Las Vegas until you’ve seen it at night. This neon wonderland is the world’s greatest sound-and-light show. Begin at the Luxor and work your way down past the incredible New York–New York. If your strength holds out, you will end at Circus Circus, where live acrobat acts take place overhead while you gamble. Make plenty of stops en route to take in the ship battle at Treasure Island, see the Mirage volcano erupt, and, most of all, marvel at the choreographed water fountain ballet at Bellagio.

Casino-Hopping on the Strip. The interior of each lavish new hotel-casino is more outrageous and giggle-inducing than the last. Just when you think they can’t possibly top themselves, they do. From Venice to ancient Egypt, from a rain forest to a pirate’s lair, from King Arthur’s castle to New York City, it is still all, totally, completely, and uniquely Las Vegas. See chapters 5 and 8 for our reviews. An Evening in Glitter Gulch. Set aside an evening to tour the Downtown hotels and take in the overhead light show of the Fremont Street Experience. Unlike the lengthy and exhausting Strip, you can hit 17 casinos in about 5 minutes. See chapters 5 and 7.

Buffets. They may no longer be the very best of bargains, as the cheaper ones do not provide the quality of the more pricey ones, but there is something about the endless mounds of food that just screams “Vegas” to us. We’ve covered the best in chapter 6..

A Creative Adventures Tour. Char Cruze of Creative Adventures ([tel] 702/361-5565) provides personalized tours unlike anything offered by a commercial tour company, full of riveting stories and incredible facts about both natural and artificial local wonders. See “Organized Tours” in chapter 7.

The Liberace Museum. It’s not the Smithsonian, but then again, the Smithsonian doesn’t have rhinestones like these. Only in Vegas. See chapter 7.

The Dolphins at the Mirage. Actually, a most un-Vegas experience. Zone out as you watch these gorgeous mammals frolic in their cool blue pool. If you are really lucky, they’ll play ball with you. See chapter 7.

The Penny Slots at the Gold Spike. Where even the most budget-conscious traveler can gamble for hours. See chapter 8.

The Grand Canal Shops at the Venetian and the Shopping Forum at Caesars Palace. Take what Napoléon called “the greatest drawing room in Europe,” replicate it, and add shops, and you’ve got the Venetian shopping experience–it’s St. Mark’s Square, complete with canals and gondolas. Then there is Caesars’ arcade, replicating an ancient Roman streetscape, with classical piazzas and opulent fountains. Don’t miss the scary Audio-Animatronic statues as they come to glorious, cheesy life. See chapter 9.

Cirque du Soleil’s O and Mystére. You haven’t really seen Cirque du Soleil until you’ve seen it in a showroom equipped with state-of-the-art sound-and-lighting systems, and a seemingly infinite budget for sets, costumes, and high-tech special effects. It’s an enchantment. See chapter 10.

Your Favorite Headliners. As soon as you arrive in town, pick up a show guide and see who’s playing during your stay. For the top showrooms, see chapter 10.

Finding the Worst Lounge Shows. Some feel this is the ultimate Vegas experience and dedicate many an evening to it. Be sure to watch out for Cook E. Jarr and the Crumbs. See chapter 10. –This text refers to the Paperback edition.
