9 Fun Things To Do in Las Vegas

I had a blast. I discovered a few new things to do that I have never experienced.

On my trip to LV I visited the new pinball hall of fame on the south end of strip. Here is a photo of the outside of building:

 

The neon sign from the strip.

I took the strip bus to the LV sign and then walked about 5 min to get there. Here is a photo I took from the inside, the place is huge, they have hundreds of machines.

I like the venom game the best because of the multiball action. I found  a soda vending machine in the back along with candy for 25 cents. I spent $10 in about an hour. Each game is 50 cents to a dollar. The older games cost less. I found some dating back to the 1050s. I prefer to play the newer games for the mulitball action. You should bring some cash because they have bill changers but do not take cards.

Here is a picture of one of the games from the 90s. It costs 75c to play and you get 3 balls. I think it has been refurbished because the lights and flippers work well. I found the best way to get a higher score is to keep going for the corner pocket.

 

Here is a view of some of the classic games. I played Getaway, ACDC, and Metallica. I found a Getaway and Deadpool machines that were in good condition and fun to play.

 

 

 

Here is a photo of the older games from 40s, 50s, and 60s. They are 25c to 50c per play. I played a couple but they are not as much fun as new games because the flippers are weak and they do not have multiball action.

 

The Sphere

I went to the Sphere and saw the postcard from earth movie. The screen was incredibly huge and the seats shake, the sound was loud and clear. It was way bigger than an Imax screen. Here is a picture I took:

As you can see the inside seats have steep vertical drop. I think it is more like a wall than sphere inside because it does not wrap around. It would be great place to see concert. It has assigned seats and some cost more. I got the cheapest seat for $129 and it had decent view. I think it is overpriced for a 45 min movie. You can watch the outer building for free.

This is what is looks like when you first arrive, the screen grows much bigger when the show starts.

There is a snack bar but prices are outrageous, like $20 for a beer. I suggest eating before you go to save money.

 

Games

I played some poker games like this 100 play poker game. It was fun. I spent $20 in about 15 min.

 

 

I played in a live poker tournament. There was over 100 people. I lasted about 4 hours and did not win anything. I was fun and the room was luxurious.

 

 

 

Resort Hotels

This is the Aria poker room. I found that is it crowded  all day. I signed up to play and waited about 20 min to be seated at a cash game table.

 

The Aria has cool art like this:

I could not figure out what kind of art these stones were. I think they look cool, here is a photo:

 

Inside the Aria is large:

 

This is a pic of the leaning tower outside the Aria. The building looks like it is leaning. I would not want to stay there, it seems scary.

 

 

Here is photo of one of the many cool limos I saw:

 

 

This is outside the Aria, it is some sort of art of kayaks. I could not believe it when I saw it. Here is a photo I made with my cell phone camera:

 

 

I stayed a Harrah’s, it is in middle of strip. I walked about 5 min to the Venetian and then 15 more min to the Sphere via bridge. The room was decent, it had a partial view. The heat and ac worked and bed was king size, soft and comfy. I found 2 pizza by the slice places there. The one in front cost a little more but is easier to find. Both about $9 for 1 large slice. The other is way in the back and would not have seen if it was not near the elevator to my room.

I want to go back and do a few things I did not have time for on this trip such as:

• Ride the supersize Ferris wheel call High Roller

• Explore the Neon Sign Museum: I’ll kick things off by checking out the Neon Sign Museum. It’s a cool spot to see all the iconic signs that have lit up Vegas over the years. Perfect for some awesome photo ops!

• Meet Elvis: Next, I’ll swing by to meet Elvis! Whether it’s a tribute show or a themed event, getting to see the King of Rock and Roll in action is a must.

• Take a Walking Tour of Downtown: I’ll take a walking tour of downtown to soak in the local vibe, see some street art, and maybe grab a bite at a local eatery. It’s a great way to explore the area up close.

• Hike and Bike in Red Rock Canyon: After that, I’ll head out to Red Rock Canyon for some outdoor fun. Hiking and biking through those stunning landscapes will be a refreshing break from the city hustle.

• Walk the Entire Length of the Strip: No trip to Vegas is complete without strolling the Strip! I’ll take my time walking the entire length, checking out the hotels, casinos, and all the sights along the way.

• Visit the Arts District: I’ll make my way to the Arts District to explore local galleries, shops, and maybe catch some live music. It’s a great spot to see the creative side of Vegas.

• Watch a UFC Fight: If there’s a UFC fight happening, I’ll definitely try to catch it live! The energy in the arena is electric, and it’s an unforgettable experience for any fight fan.

• Attend an Event at the New Football Stadium: I’ll see if there’s an event at the new football stadium. Whether it’s a game or a concert, it’ll be exciting to check out this state-of-the-art venue.

• Try Out Topgolf: I’ll wrap up my day by hitting up Topgolf. It’s a fun way to relax, enjoy some good food, and practice my swing with friends.

• Go to the Flamingo Garden: Finally, I’ll take a stroll through the Flamingo Garden. It’s a beautiful spot to unwind and see some exotic birds and plants.

 

 

I checked out the sign while passing by. It is just a welcome sign, I am not sure why everyone likes to go see it in person and get a photo.

 

I absolutely love the neon lights of Vegas! They’re totally iconic and create such a vibrant, electric vibe that really captures the spirit of the city. Whether it’s the dazzling signs along the Strip, the retro charm at the Neon Sign Museum, or all the colorful displays at the different casinos, those lights bring a unique magic to the whole experience.

Walking down the Strip at night, surrounded by all those glowing colors and flashing lights, feels like I’m stepping into another world. It’s the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories, whether I’m snapping pics, enjoying a night out, or just soaking in all that wild energy. The neon lights seriously make Vegas come alive! What’s your favorite spot to catch those killer neon vibes?
