Las Vegas: what to see and when to go
Las Vegas is the desert capital of spectacle: giant hotels with themed interiors, fountains and light shows, big-name residencies and restaurants from celebrity chefs. It is also an easy base for the Red Rock Canyon, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.
What to see and do in Las Vegas
The Strip
A walk past the Bellagio, the Venetian, Caesars Palace and the other mega-resorts, best at night.
Bellagio Fountains
A free water show every 15–30 minutes in the evening on the lake in front of the hotel.
Sphere
The huge LED dome with immersive films and concerts, plus its glowing exterior.

The old downtown, with a canopy of lights and a retro-neon feel.
Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Dam
Desert hiking and a scenic drive about half an hour away, and the great dam an hour away.
