1.) Visit Downtown<\/strong><\/h3>\nDowntown Las Vegas is where the madness first started. Walking through Binion\u2019s, the Golden Nugget, Four Queens etc you can really feel the history. Yes, it\u2019s not as glam as the Strip, but it has so much charm and character that you\u2019ll fall in love with it right away.<\/p>\n
Go on an evening for the street performers on Fremont Street and so you can watch the world\u2019s largest screen that covers the entire length of the street.<\/p>\n

2.) Ride the New York-New York Roller Coaster<\/strong><\/h3>\nWe\u2019ve all ridden roller coasters, but have you ever ridden one that someone built on the top of a hotel? No, probably not. Head to New York-New York and you can do just that.<\/p>\n
There are also rides on the top of the Stratosphere; these are not for the faint hearted as they\u2019re over a thousand feet in the air!<\/p>\n

Have Dinner at the Stratosphere<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpeaking of the Stratosphere, you need to visit the Top Of The World Restaurant that is over 800 feet in the air and that rotates 360 degrees every 80 minutes! The views are spectacular, especially at night, but it is a very popular tourist spot so make sure you book well in advance to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a bar \/ club on the 107th floor.<\/p>\n
