So, you've booked your flight, scored a room with a view that would make Gatsby weep, and packed your luckiest socks (because Vegas, duh).

| What Are Some Things You Can Do In Las Vegas |
Lights, Camera, Gamble! (But Maybe Take a Break From the Slots Too)
Las Vegas was built on the foundation of clinking coins and lucky streaks, and for good reason. Hitting the casinos is a must, whether you're a seasoned high roller or a newbie trying your luck at the penny slots (hey, those jackpots can add up!). But Vegas is more than just a place to lose... er, invest... your money.
Ditch the Poker Face and Embrace the Spectacle
Las Vegas is a city that turns up the volume on EVERYTHING. We're talking jaw-dropping Cirque du Soleil shows, fountains at the Bellagio that erupt in a symphony of water and light, and volcanoes erupting outside the Mirage (because, well, Vegas). Catch a world-class concert or a hilarious comedy act, the options are endless.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Off the Strip But Not Off Your Rocker (Unless You Want to Be)
Sure, the Strip is the heart of the action, but venture beyond the neon lights and you'll find a whole other side to Vegas. Hike through the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, explore the Mob Museum and learn about the city's gangster past, or kayak through the Emerald Cave. You might even get married by Elvis (because Vegas!).
Fuel Up for All That Fun (and Maybe Some Regrets)
Vegas isn't all about buffets and questionable late-night choices (although, those have their place too). The city boasts a surprising number of world-class restaurants, from Michelin-starred spots to celebrity chef joints. Don't forget to grab a fancy cocktail at a rooftop bar with a view that will leave you breathless (or maybe that's the altitude if you're at the top of the High Roller).
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
