Las Vegas Entertainment

You probably already know that Las Vegas has a plethora of stuff to do. Gentlemen dress to impress, you may have a harder time getting into some clubs. If you avoid the weekend crowd on the Las Vegas Strip you can enjoy the same great venues with half the crowd, try visiting midweek if possible. Additionally, for the gamblers, minimum bets for table games are raised during peak times making a weekday visit a better choice.

As you would expect, Vegas offers a multitude of casinos and bars but also a local vibe, which draws the younger Vegas crowd.

Most locals, go to the Fremont Street area, it’s lovingly known as “Old Vegas” with a variety of bars, vintage signage, and shops.  The Downtown Project is revitalizing the area. It’s ever expanding with new features like “Container Park” which is a must see. Container Park is a cute shopping district made out of shipping containers. The area includes bars, restaurants, a seating area, night lighting, and an amazing adult sized playground in the center.

Shows

It’s Vegas so see a show, there are plenty of Big Names in Vegas. Smaller shows may not get all the publicity but still offer great entertainment value. Claire Sinclair’s Pin Up Calendar show is a prime example of a smaller show, hosted by the Stratosphere. It is a small classy affair circa 1940 or earlier. Zombie Burlesque is another small show in Vegas that is underrated but is worth the visit. The small shows generally cost less, are sometimes easier to get tickets to last minute, and you may even meet the performers for photos in the lobby at the end. Check with your hotel for show times. Generally hotels offer guests a discount or rewards for rides, shows, and gambling.

City Tours

Las Vegas has a few different tour options from Helicopter tours to Arizona’s Grand Canyon and back to hiking red rock. Check with your hotel concierge for recommendations.
