1. Visit the Grand Canyon.
Visiting the Grand Canyon is in every traveller's wish list or bucket list. This earth wonder needs no introduction as its impressive panoramic postcard views says it all.
Tip: The scale of this spectacular desert scenery is a lot to take in so why not book in helicopter tour to explore the area. It's an experience of a lifetime! There are tours which pick you up from your hotel in Las Vegas and back.
With the aerial views, you will not only see and land at the Grand Canyon but you'll be flying over The Hoover Dam too.
And than includes the mountain ranges.
When choosing your tour, include the option of a helicopter ride down to the Colorado River. This helicopter ride also gives you a view from a different angle on the beautiful rock formations of the Grand Canyon.
While exploring the area, go for a walk at the glass-floored Grand Canyon Skywalk.
Public access to this engineering marvel comes with a paid-ticket but the cost versus the thrilling view and experience is nowhere near comparable.
Outside this Skywalk are displays of American Indian Tepees and is worth checking out too.
Get inside these structures and you can just have a feel on how the Native Americans survived the searing heat of the sun.
Finally, make some time to savour the magnificent views at Eagles Point. Just don't get too close to the edge.
2. Book your stay at the famed Caesars' Palace.
This luxury hotel-resort sits in the heart of Las Vegas and pays homage to the Roman culture and history.
From lavish pools, restaurants and of course its own casino, this place stands out as one of the top hotel destinations in the Strip.
Tip: Check out for live performances while you're staying in the hotel and be entertained as you may bump in to one fo the A-list performers.
There's a shopping area too called the The Forum Shops.
The impressive interior design of the hotel extends all the way here so it's a must see even if you're not on a spending spree.
3. Do the Skyjump at The Stratosphere or take a glimpse of the entire city from the Stratosphere Observation Deck.
Stratosphere towers over Las Vegas at approximately 350m high.
