See the World in las Vegas

Las Vegas today is offering many of the wonders of the world on a much smaller scale to its visitors. There is really nowhere else on earth you can go and see all the sights and witness the thrill of the experience that is Las Vegas. With so much to do and see it's a wonder that anyone ever gets sleep in this great town. Look below for some of the many places to go and sights to see in Vegas that will quite literally have the world at your feet.

Paris Hotel and Casino Las Vegas presents the Eiffel Tower Experience. Quite literally this is a replica of the famed Eiffel Tower of Paris built at 1/2 scale. You can ride to the top of the tower and enjoy a view of the city from 460 feet above ground while pinpointing other landmarks that you may wish to try next.

Rio Suite Hotel offers the Masquerade Village Show in the Sky. This show is designed to bring the thrill of Rio's Carnival to Las Vegas visitors. This is a great show to witness or in which to participate. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and revelry that are unmistakably Carnival. This show is free to watch and costs $12.95 to participate.

Luxur Hotel and Casino takes you In Search of the Obelisk. This adventure takes you on archaeological digs searching for Pharaohs. This is a great adventure and takes you not halfway around the world. There are height restrictions for this ride so small children might not be best suited for this particular experience.

You can experience the thrills, chills, and spills of the Grand Prix at the Las Vegas Mini grand prix. This park is a fun day for the entire family and even features an Adult Grand Prix with Sprint Kart tracks that have high banks and a more authentic experience. This is a great way to have fun and invite a little friendly competition among family members.

If you'd like to experience Venice without traveling halfway around the world then you should really experience the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The highlight of your Vegas Venice experience should be one of the Gondola rides that you can take. You can book a private 2-person gondola for a romantic excursion while being serenaded by your gondolier.

While at the Venetian you can also check out the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, which will have some of the best offerings from around the world in order to enhance your experience. You should also take the time to enjoy the beautiful Venetian inspired architecture of the hotel and casino while you're visiting in order to prolong the experience.

The Mirage offers a volcano for guests to experience. While this isn't quite taking your around the world, most of us do not get to experience the sight of a volcano morphing from peaceful waterfalls into streams of molten lava. This is definitely a must see show in Vegas and is free to the public. You can see this show from dusk until midnight every 15 minutes.

If you want an experience that will take you even further away you should try the Star Trek Experience at The Las Vegas Hilton Hotel and Casino. This will not take you to another country per se, but it will definitely take you into another world. Enjoy this encounter with alien creatures and an introduction to the future. Then take a stroll through the museum, which is home to some wonderful memorabilia from the television show and the movies.

Just remember that you are on vacation to get away from it all. Isn't it truly neat that you can literally do that and so much more in this unique and intriguing city? You can travel to different countries, experience different cultures, and literally go out of this world without ever leaving the city limits of Las Vegas. Who could ask for more in a vacation experience?

are my ten tips for the Vegas virgin

1) If you’re going to gamble, do it responsibly
It’s the most obvious thing to say, that you’re surrounded by the opportunity to gamble. I didn’t realise it would start immediately at the arrivals gate at the airport, but you’re probably never further than a few feet from a fruit machine in Vegas. Unless you’re a staunch anti-gambler, it can be very much part of the experience. My tactic? Change up a set amount of chips, and already consider them lost – a one-off payment to sit at a table, play cards and have a drink for a while. If you leave with anything, that way it’s a bonus. Keep to your limit, and don’t get your head turned by the bells and whistles.

2) See at least one show
You name it, you can see it on stage in Las Vegas, from magicians and hypnotists to burlesque and probably a few things to make your great aunt’s glasses steam up. However, the big shows at major resorts are there as world-class productions, and they are generally done on an astounding scale.
I plumped for the Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Love’ show at The Mirage. Beforehand, I wasn’t set to be impressed by either people on a trapeze OR the music of The Beatles, but two hours later, I was almost weeping in my seat, such is the overwhelming intricacy and spectacle of this show. It was honestly one of the most impressive things I have ever seen.

3) Hit Fremont Street
The Strip as it stands is a fairly modern creation, and for a slice of old school Vegas, head for Fremont Street, a short taxi ride away. Here you can see the iconic neon signs of yesteryear, including legendary spots such as the Golden Nugget. It feels more gentle and less cynical, part of a simpler age, even though that age was run by notorious gangsters. There’s no trace of that now, and you can wallow in retro cool without fear of the Mafia.

4) Negotiate the streets
Vegas is not a pedestrian-friendly city, though additionally it’s hardly ever worth taking a cab between venues as The Strip isn’t that big. If your journey doesn’t let you take advantage of the mostly excellent tram system, look to use the over-ground walkways. Many of them cut through hotels, most of which are connected on some level, so you can snake through the crowds with relative ease. Just try to avoid street level, where the masses inch along narrow pavements, and you’re surrounded by touts flicking their business cards, most of which appear to be illustrated with scantily-clad women.

5) Take a trip out of town
Even on a short trip, I felt that taking a break from the noise, lights and omnipresent piped music was essential. The easiest, most adventurous and scenic excursion is probably to a nearby little hole in the ground called the Grand Canyon. Unless you want to spend hours in car, the way to go are the helicopter trips, which, because of the amount of local competition, are more affordable than they might otherwise be. Within a few minutes, you can be sweeping past some of the world’s most dramatic scenery, a genuine wonder, and some of the rides even set down and stop for lunch in the canyon itself. Thoroughly recommended and an experience that will stand out among the indoor pleasures that make up most of a Vegas trip.

6) Grand Canyon
When the neon lights get too much, retreat to the Grand Canyon and some of the world's most breathtaking scenery
Seek out independent experiences
Not everywhere in Vegas is an international corporation’s idea of fun. There are experiences out there that not everyone will have and are worth hunting around for if you don’t want to step onto the usual casino/buffet/show conveyor belt.
Oh, and they’re way cheaper. Fremont Street is actually where you’ll fond most of the independent businesses, and it feels somewhat authentic.

7) Eat like a king
Vegas traditionally had quite a shaky reputation for cuisine, all cheesy diners and low-rent buffets. Now, the culinary scene has swung quite the other way, and huge international names have moved in. Even multi-Michelin star restaurants have set up shop to lure those high rollers in, including Joel Robuchon, who has a branch of Atelier at the MGM Grand. There are incredible dining experiences to be had with slightly less chance of bankruptcy, though.
For a reasonable price, you can have a delicious meal, including such delicacies as Japanese River Crab or prime sashimi.

8) Consider the self-catering option
The above being noted, eating out all the time, or subjecting yourself to the gargantuan queues of the casino buffet system is not good for spiritual, financial or physical health. An alternative is to check into accommodation that lets you make your own meals. You don’t have to sacrifice designer décor, either. I stayed at The Signature at MGM Grand, attached to the hotel of the same name, but offering suite-type rooms with their own fridge and hob – perfect for eating healthily and on a budget. It’s back from The Strip, so there’s a sense of relative serenity, and other than that, it’s a full service hotel, so you don’t feel out on a limb, either.

9) Take a limo
There are times when you do need to hop across town. Limousines of the stretch variety aren’t the most subtle way to do this, but then you’re in Vegas, where even subtlety is letting itself go for the weekend, and running around in a gold lamé jump suit. If you’re in a group of four or so, it’s almost as cheap (rates are negotiable, depending on how quiet the driver is) to commandeer a limo – they’re usually lined up at hotel entrances. Take the driver’s card, and you can be ferried around all night in delightful tackiness for only a tweak more than a boring taxi.

10) Travel Facts
Virgin Atlantic fly from London Gatwick to Las Vegas, with fares starting at around £722 return.

Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Hôtel Resort and Casino

At Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, excess is the norm. Visitors can listen to some of music’s greatest artists, spot some of the world’s most dangerous predators and body surf some of the city’s largest waves without ever leaving the 60-acre property.

The 10-time AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort is practically dripping in nightlife, dining, entertainment, recreation and relaxation. The accommodations are modern and up to date, offering wireless internet and iPod docking stations in every room. The adjoining THE hotel complements the already-impressive property, offering a boutique hotel for guests looking for a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Hip and high-end, Mandalay Bay is a bustling, Polynesian paradise, accented by fountains, sculpture, marble and flora. Surrounding it is dining at its finest, from the proletariat Red Square (you can’t miss the life-sized  Lenin statue, sans head) and futuristic China Grill to the stylish Strip Steak.

Eyecandy Sound Lounge offers an interactive nightlife experience (and don’t forget to bring your iPod), while the Foundation Room and Mix Lounge offer unparalleled views of the Strip from high above Mandalay Bay and THE hotel, respectfully.

Whether you’re a fan of rock, reggae, rap, rockabilly, jazz or blues, the House of Blues has it all. The venue not only books musical legends, but also puts on a soulful Sunday Gospel Brunch, featuring great live music and a traditional Southern food buffet. The events center at Mandalay Bay meanwhile, provides a venue for sporting events and arena-sized musical acts, while the Shark Reef houses 100 species of marine animals, including jellyfish, crocodiles, turtles, stingrays and even a Komodo dragon.

Outside, the tropical landscaping offers an exotic retreat as Mandalay Beach gives you the chance to float down the lazy river, ride waves that can reach six feet high, gamble in a three-story beachfront casino or bathe in the sun (at the private Moorea Beach Club).

You'll think back on this Vegas vacation forever after heading over to Starlight Tattoo, where celebrity tattoo artist Mario Barth may be on hand to ink a permanent reminder on the body part of choice.

And there's still much, much more to see and do, including shopping at Mandalay Place, relaxing at Spa Mandalay or creating the ultimate Vegas cliche by tying the knot at THE wedding chapel.
