The Las Vegas shortlist
- Bellagio Fountains & Conservatory — free, and timed shows every 15–30 minutes after dark.
- Helicopter night flight over the Strip — the signature splurge; from-and-to-hotel formats dominate.
- Grand Canyon day trip — West Rim (Skywalk) vs South Rim is the first decision; bus and plane tours both run.

- Neon Museum — the boneyard tour at night is the photographer’s slot.
Flying in, Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) serves the city — attraction districts sit 30–60 minutes away at typical city speeds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Las Vegas?
Bellagio Fountains & Conservatory — free, and timed shows every 15–30 minutes after dark. Start there, then build the itinerary around it.
Do I need to book Las Vegas attractions in advance?
The headline attractions reward advance booking — timed-entry systems and quota tickets mean walk-up availability is worst exactly when you want to visit. Everything on this page links to providers showing live availability.
How many days do you need in Las Vegas?
Three to four days covers the shortlist above at a humane pace for a first visit; add days for the day-trip formats rather than compressing the city itself.
Is a city pass worth it in Las Vegas?
Run the arithmetic honestly: a pass wins when you would genuinely visit three-plus ticketed attractions in its window. Our provider links show pass options side by side with single tickets — compare before committing.
