“Las Vegas is a city of fun, entertainment and indulgence of all kinds. Known as the playground for adults, Vegas boasts endless shops, casinos, restaurants and adventures. If you’re looking for a break from the nightlife and gambling, however, Las Vegas also has an array of visual attractions that are unforgettable in their own right.<\/p>\n

### The Fremont Street experience<\/p>\n

Freemont Street is a popular street in Las Vegas that’s home to the older hotels and casinos, as well as its giant canopy that stretches over the boulevard. In addition to the nostalgic buildings and unique architecture, you’ll see a cast of artists, musicians and street performers with fascinating acts and displays.<\/p>\n

### Hoover Dam<\/p>\n

The Hoover Dam<\/a> is a popular Las Vegas attraction that’s as enjoyable for its look as its history. Constructed during the Great Depression, the wonder of engineering offers tours to see the function of the dam and its visually striking architecture.<\/p>\n

### The ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign<\/p>\n

The ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign is an iconic sign in Sin City. Located near the end of the Strip near Mandalay Bay, the notable landmark has been a mainstay on Las Vegas Boulevard since 1959.<\/p>\n

### Lee Canyon<\/p>\n

Lee Canyon is one of the most picturesque areas near Las Vegas. Although the ski resort is popular for skiing, snowboarding and hiking, its scenic beauty and picturesque landscape make it popular for photography in the warmer months.<\/p>\n

### Shark Reef Aquarium<\/p>\n

Located within Mandalay Bay, the Shark Reef Aquarium holds a variety of marine life, including piranha, turtles, eels, stingrays and more, as well as numerous species of sharks. All of these colourful and unique creatures can be seen from glass viewing tunnels that you can walk through for a fully immersive experience.<\/p>\n

### The Neon Museum<\/p>\n

The Neon Museum is a unique attraction that celebrates the wonders of Vegas through neon lights. Near the Interstate 15 highway, the outdoor desert museum holds a vast collection of hotel and business signs that show the evolution of the city from its earliest days to the booming tourist spot it is today. During a tour, you can wander through the outdoor displays of the signs to see all their details and artwork up close.<\/p>\n

### Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden<\/p>\n

The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden is a spectacular garden space with thousands of wildflowers and plants within a picturesque glass greenhouse. Throughout the space, colours burst from the thousands of different plant species that are carefully tended to by professional garden staff.<\/p>\n

M&M World is not only a place for candy lovers, but it’s also a visual feast for art lovers. Filled with bright colours and enticing aromas, M&M World boasts 4 floors of movie posters, candy displays and souvenirs to explore.<\/p>\n

### Paris Las Vegas<\/p>\n

Located on the Strip, Paris Las Vegas<\/a> is a resort modelled after Paris, France. It has scale models of the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Opera House and other Parisian landmarks. You can climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower to take in panoramic views of the city from the observation deck or dine in the romantic restaurant. The resort also has a mock air balloon with neon and flashing lights.<\/p>\n

### Bellagio Fountains<\/p>\n

The Bellagio Fountains are a highlight of any Vegas trip. The impressive fountains are located outside the casino and feature a spectacular dancing water and light show set to music, which happens multiple times a day to different songs and setting different moods.<\/p>\n

### New York – New York Hotel<\/p>\n

The New York – New York Hotel is a visually stunning hotel that’s designed to appear like New York City’s famous skyline, complete with landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building, all of which can be viewed from the street or from rides on a huge roller coaster that winds through the property.<\/p>\n

### The Luxor Hotel<\/p>\n

Another cosmopolitan spot in Vegas is the Luxor Hotel. Designed with an ancient Egyptian theme, the hotel is shaped like a pyramid and boasts a giant sphinx that stands proudly at its front doors. There’s also a spectacular beam of light that projects from the highest point of the pyramid into the night sky, which can be seen from anywhere in the city.<\/p>\n
