Beyond Las Vegas

There are over 100 different tours offered by a variety of companies in Las Vegas, including sightseeing to the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, the Colorado River, Red Rock, the Valley of Fire, and Mount Charleston. The tours last from 2 to 10 hours, and they can be taken by van, bus, aeroplane, boat, or helicopter.

If you have a car, it is an easy drive from the Las Vegas Strip to the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead (31 miles/51 km), Mount Charleston (40 miles/64 km), Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (15 miles/24 km) and the Valley of Fire (53 miles/85 km).

Gambling

Las Vegas is not called 'Sin City' for nothing! There is no doubt about — gambling is Las Vegas' most advertised attraction. There is a level for every visitor: experienced and first-timer, as most casinos offer free lessons that usually take place in the morning hours on table games such as Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette. The new penny slots are probably the most popular among the recreational gambler as to the bonus games within the games themselves. While the jackpots are, of course, not nearly as large as dollar slots, these games are fun and entertaining anyways, and you can still win some money or at least have fun gambling it away. Be confident, learn the games you want to play, look up some basic casino etiquette and remember to limit your losses.
