Seven things to see and do in Las Vegas, aka Sin City
Las Vegas is a playground for adults, and there’s so much to do it almost makes your head hurt when trying to plan an itinerary.
Here Travel News Blitz provides seven of the best things to do and see in Sin City, where excitement and spectacle are always in overdrive.
The Bellagio Fountains
Why it’s great: It’s water putting on a better show than you ever could at karaoke night. The fountains dance to everything from classical symphonies to Bruno Mars, proving they have more rhythm than most of us.
Pro tip: Watch at night for the full lights-and-music extravaganza. Plus, it’s free - so it’s the only thing in Vegas you can enjoy without worrying about your credit score.
The High Roller Observation Wheel
Why it’s great: It’s a Ferris wheel on steroids. At 550 feet, it gives you a view so good you might briefly forget how much you spent on cocktails. And yes, they have a bar inside - Vegas knows its audience.
Pro tip: Time your ride for sunset, or whenever you need a break from "that one friend" who's been losing at blackjack since breakfast.
Cirque du Soleil Shows
Why it’s great: These performers bend, flip, and contort in ways that will make you feel both inspired and painfully aware of your inability to touch your toes.
Whether you choose the watery magic of O or the psychedelic Beatles vibes of LOVE, these shows are worth every penny (and they know it).
Pro tip: Book tickets early. No one likes the desperation of last-minute scalping in a sequined shirt.
Fremont Street Experience
Why it’s great: Picture a street party where the DJ is a massive LED canopy over your head.
Add live bands, zip-lining, and more neon than should legally exist, and you’ve got Fremont.
Pro tip: Bring cash for street performers - because tipping a guy who can juggle flaming chainsaws feels like the right thing to do.

The Neon Museum
Why it’s great: It’s a graveyard for old Vegas signs, but instead of creepy ghosts, you’ll meet fabulous neon nostalgia. Think of it as a history lesson with way more sparkle and zero quizzes.
Pro tip: Visit at dusk when the signs light up - it’s a glowing farewell to the time you thought neon spandex was a good idea.
The Venetian Gondola Rides
Why it’s great: Why spend thousands on a trip to Venice when you can float through a fake canal while a gondolier belts out Italian ballads?
It’s romantic, cheesy, and a little ridiculous - just like Las Vegas itself.
Pro tip: Spring for the private gondola ride if you’re feeling fancy (or want fewer strangers in your TikTok).
Red Rock Canyon
Why it’s great: Just a short drive from the Strip, you’ll find jaw-dropping desert scenery that’ll make you feel like you’re starring in a Western.
Hiking, rock climbing, or just marveling at nature - choose your own adventure.
Pro tip: Go early to avoid the heat and pack water unless you enjoy feeling like a raisin halfway through your hike.
Bonus Round: The “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” Sign
It’s obligatory. Stand in line, snap your photo, and make sure your smile says, “I’ve still got some money left!”
