As discussed and explored in further detail via the Globehunters where bargain flights to Las Vegas can also be bagged and booked, Las Vegas is packed with things to do, see and experience that needn’t mean spending you holiday (or money) in the casinos. To prove that point, here are 6 reasons to Visit Las Vegas that don’t involve taking a gamble.
Get Out and About
With all the bright lights, casinos and theme parks in Las Vegas and dotted along The Strip, the City’s urban attractions sometimes seem to overshadow its natural ones which is a shame because Las Vegas is home to some pretty awe inspiring and world famous natural beauties.
Take, for example, Red Rock Canyon which families and travellers can learn more about via the Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association website and where hikes around the Canyon can also be booked. Situated in the west of Las Vegas, the canyon is home to a wealth of Nevada’s wildlife and some truly astonishing and beautiful botany.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas is also home to a somewhat more famous canyon, that of the Grand Canyon. Best reached and explored by taking an official tour, such as the one advertised via the Viator website, doing so also includes the opportunity to spot the Hoover Dam and stare out over the canyon from Eagle Point and Guano Point as well as walk the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
For more ways to explore Las Vegas and see the City in a unique way, visitors can also take the opportunity to ride over The Strip via helicopter. To learn more, visit the Addrenaline website.

Catch a Show
Musical entertainment shows and gigs can be enjoyed in many theatres, cities and places popular with tourists the world over, but nowhere in the world can a visitor expect to find Brittany Spears, Steven Tyler, Celine Dion, Nelly an Lauryn Hill all performing in the same city and in the same week...except that is of course in Las Vegas.
To see who is currently billed to perform in Las Vegas’ when you intent to be there and as well get booking those tickets, head over to the Las Vegas Show Tickets website.
Hit the Museums
Nothing is quite as American as a museum dedicated to telling the history and preserving the legends and lore of ‘the mob’, and in nowhere is there such a museum as Las Vegas. The Mob Museum is not though Las Vegas’ only museum.
In fact, Las Vegas is home to several museums including The Neon Museum which (you guessed it) preserves, collects and showcases a history of Las Vegas’ neon lights and signs and perhaps Las Vegas’ best and most exciting museum offering: The Las Vegas Natural History Museum which takes visitors right back to before the Ice age when dinosaurs still roamed and as such provides a brilliantly interactive, engaging and pretty thorough history of Las Vegas and how it went from being populated by triceratops to being clad in neon lights and studded with Casinos.

The Hard Rock Hotel and FU Restaurant
The number one spot to eat at whilst in Las Vegas is beyond doubt The Hard Rock Hotel Restaurant.
Whilst those expecting a fine dining experience might find themselves slightly disappointed or just downright confused, those in Las Vegas to soak up some real Las Vegas food as well as fun won’t just leave with their bellies full; there is so much to take in and enjoy at The Hard Rock Restaurant that the distinct lack of burgers and fries is likely to go unnoticed.
The humorously named FU restaurant located within the Hard Rock Hotel specialises not in hot dogs and all American grub, but Asian fusion and as such makes for a fantastic change from catching a diner dinner whilst also providing families with the opportunity to browse and explore the Hard Rock Shop, or even catch an after dinner Hard Rock concert.
