The 17 Best Things to do in Las Vegas, Nevada – Lonely Planet
Posted: April 19, 2023 at 9:41 pm
From A-list entertainers and big-budget stage shows to celebrity chef fine dining experiences andluxury hotels, pools and casinos to breathtaking canyons, plains, forests and mountains, Las Vegas offers an experience like no other city. Here are some of the best things to do on your next visit.
Rolling into Las Vegas (Spanish for "the meadows") behind the wheel as a Sin City first-timer is a classic experience arrive after dark and approach from the south for maximum "wows" and the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas Sign, then cruise the 4.2-mile section of Las Vegas Blvd between Russell Rd and Sahara Ave, known the world over as "The Strip."
Take in Luxor's glowing beacon, New YorkNew York's Statue of Liberty, Bellagio's dancing fountains, Paris' Eiffel Tower, theMirage's erupting volcano and the gleaming beacon of The STRATtower.
Then visit ancient Rome at Caesars Palace and stroll down the LINQ Promenade, with its eclectic selection of fun boutiques, pubs and eateries, and the world's largest Ferris wheel, the High Roller.
Where to get tickets for the STRAT, the High Roller and the LINQ Zipline
Vegas is synonymous with world-class entertainment. Queen Celineaka Celine Dion, who previously retired,is making a comeback beginning in November 2021, and a host of big-name artists take up residencies here.
The hottest ticket in town, though, remains Cirque du Soleil. Whimsical costumes, aerial acrobatics and synchronized swimming create an electrifying atmosphere. Splash out on the original aquatic spectacular "O",Chinese martial-arts-inspired "K", musical tributes to the Beatles (LOVE), circus spectacular "Mystre".

In Las Vegas, celebrity chefs share star status with top entertainers, but few casino resorts feature as revered a culinary line-up as Palazzo and Venetian, whose lauded dining rooms include Napa Valley wunderkind Thomas Keller's bistro Bouchon, LA trendsetter Wolfgang Puck's steakhouse Cut, and original Food Network personality Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse (with a Cajun twist).
A selection of more casual offerings, including B&B Burger & Beer and Sushisamba, are accessible even to those who havent won big at the tables.
In 2011, when Vegas hosted the Electric Daisy Carnival (giant of the EDM world), attendance exceeded 230,000.
Casino operators soon seized a long-sought opportunity to reverse the visitor slump Vegas had endured since the 2008 economic meltdown: the everyday punter didn't have cash to burn on blackjack or risk on slot machines anymore, but wanted to escape the stresses of life more than ever.
Post-festival, MGM Grand's megaclub Hakkasan coaxed world heavyweight DJs Calvin Harris, Tisto and Steve Aoki into residencies, and today Vegas rivals Ibiza as a dance-party destination.
The 8 best parks in Las Vegas
In the race for the best resort swimming pool in Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay's impressive "beach,"featuring 2700 tons of imported southern Californian sand, artificial 6ft-high waves, a "beachfront"casino and a lazy river you can float down before catching a summertime concert under the stars, wins hands down.
But don't let that stop you from attempting to sample every one of Vegas' ubiquitous pool-bars, from MGM Grand's Wet Republicto Encore's ultra-chic Beach Club and Caesars Palace's time-tested Garden of the Gods.
What to see and do at Mandalay Bay
Anchoring The Strip's northern extent, The STRATs glitzy, three-legged tower is the tallest of its kind in the USA. There's no better place to get a bird's-eye perspective on Las Vegas than from this vertical metropolis resembling a flying saucer on a pole.
Ride the country's fastest elevators up to the observation deck (869ft) at sunset or have a cocktail in the slowly revolving 107 SkyLounge. Nighttime is best for the biggest scares on the tower's thrill rides, or be a daredevil in the daylight and do a SkyJump free-fall.
Everything you need to know about the STRAT
This is a town where they tear down perfectly good buildings for no reason. The wrecking balls of The Strip swing ceaselessly, which is precisely why a trip to retro downtown is so satisfying.
Antique neon signs are given pride of place along Fremont St, and old-school casinos like the Golden Nugget and the El Cortez harken back to the Rat Pack era. Don't miss the Neon Museum, where even more Vegas history is lovingly preserved.
After cocktails on The Strip have stripped you of some serious cash, head to downtown's buzzing Fremont East Entertainment District. Start at Container Park to browse the stalls with an open container of IPA, chat with tatted-up locals and get your bearings amid trippy industrial art.
From here, happily spill out into the messy late-night bars along Fremont St. First Fridays 'round these parts are local legend: community-arts-festival-turned-street-parties, which give the nearby Arts District a mini-Carnival makeover onyou guessed itthe first Friday of the month.
Tired of smoky casinos? Detour from The Strip for a breath of fresh air and a fix of eco-conscious design at this educational museum complex.
The Springs Preserve is situated on the site where now-dry natural springs once fed Las Vegas and wheresouthern Paiutes and Old Spanish Trail traders set up camp.
Family-oriented attractions include the Origen Museum, the Nevada State Museum and the Desert Living Center, plus hiking trails, wildlife viewing, botanic gardens, a healthy-living cafe and a weekly farmers market.
How to survive a trip to Las Vegas
Recalling an era when the word "atomic"conjured modernity and mystery, the Smithsonian-affiliated National Atomic Testing Museum is a testament to the period in US history when the fantastical and destructive power of nuclear energy was tested just outside Las Vegas.
After visiting the museum, it's almost possible to imagine 1950s gamblers and tourists picnicking on Downtown casino rooftops while mushroom clouds rose on the horizon. Step down into the deafening Ground Zero Theater, which mimics a concrete test bunker.
Changing with the seasons, Bellagios conservatory displays ostentatious floral arrangements, installed by crane through a soaring 50ft-high ceiling.
Streaking down the center of Vegas' Glitter Gulch historical district Downtown, this five-blockpedestrian mallis lined with old-school casinos and topped by an arched steel canopy.
Hourly from dusk until midnight, the 1400ft-long canopy turns on a six-minute light-and-sound show. The shows are ridiculously cheesy but mesmerizing if you're drunk.
It's even more exhilarating if you happen to be zooming by on the zip-line cables attached to the 12-storySlotzilla, a slot-machine-themed platform at the mall's eastern end.
Slip away from the madness inside theFlamingoswildlife habitat, out back behind the casino. Over a dozen acres of pools, gardens, waterfalls and waterways are filled with swans, exotic birds and ornamental koi (carp).
Here, Chilean flamingos and African penguins wander around, and palm trees and jungle plants flourish in the middle of the desert.Glimpse pink feathers at the Tropicana (attached to birds, not an exotic dancer).
Just a short drive (13 miles) from The Strip,Red Rock's dramatic vistas are revered by Las Vegas locals and adored by visitors from around the world.
Formed by extreme tectonic forces, it's thought the canyon, whose 3000ft red rock escarpment rises sharply from the valley floor, was formed around 65 million years ago.
A 13-mile, one-way scenic loop drive offers mesmerizing vistas of the canyon's most striking features. Hiking trails and rock-climbing routes radiate from roadside parking areas.
The 8 best day trips from Las Vegas
It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 195051, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America.
The museum features hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, as well as interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos.
What to expect at the Mob Museum
The boys from Las Vegas' very own minor league team theAviators hit fastballs here during the summer months, aiming for the Spring Mountains visible beyond the stadium.
Soar above West Las Vegas, with The Strip on one hand and Red Rock Canyon on the other with a one-of-a-kindballoon ride.

What is ‘Magi,’ Google’s upcoming AI-powered search engine that could …
Posted: at 9:40 pm
As the focus shifts toward Artificial Intelligence, the race to develop a superhuman AI is gaining momentum. In this regard, Alphabet Inc has become the topic of discussion this week due to its ambitious AI-driven projects. Although Googles Bard chatbot and its range of AI products centered on text-to-images and text-to-videos are widely acknowledged, recent developments highlight Googles efforts to incorporate cutting-edge AI tools into its search engine.
A recent development has emerged wherein Samsung, the South Korean smartphone manufacturer, has decided to replace Google with Microsofts Bing as the pre-selected search engine on their line of devices. From the looks of it, the recent change has caused some discontent, given that Bing has been an alternative search engine for a considerable time. According to a report by The New York Times, the latest development has led Alphabet to take urgent action.
Several AI-powered search engines, including Bing, are proving formidable competitors to Google. Nevertheless, recent reports reveal that Google is preparing to develop a new search engine leveraging AI and is currently enhancing its current search engine with an array of AI functionalities. According to internal documents acquired by media outlets, it is evident that these initiatives have been consolidated under the umbrella of a project named Magi.
Project Magi by Google is propelling the development of a range of innovative features that are being directed by executives, designers, and engineers. All stakeholders associated with the project are currently working avidly and adopting a sprint mindset. As per reports, the upcoming search engine under the auspices of Project Magi will deliver a significantly more personalized experience to users than the existing version. It has been estimated that almost 160 employees are working diligently on this ambitious undertaking.
It should be highlighted that the proposed plans to redesign the search experience are still in the early stages, and no definitive timeline has been disclosed regarding any prospective announcements. The forthcoming system will employ machine learning to discern user preferences as they engage with it. The reimagined search will present preselected options for shopping, information retrieval, and other insights that the system has inferred. According to reports, the enhanced search experience will offer a more interactive and engaging encounter, akin to that of interacting with a knowledgeable human expert. In essence, Googles advanced AI search will feature a user interface reminiscent of ChatGPT.

Jacinda Ardern gives her farewell speech in parliament in Wellington on April 5.
Welcome to the NPR series where we spotlight the people and things making headlines and the stories behind them.
In a rousing and, at times, personal farewell speech this week in parliament, Jacinda Ardern touched on family, politics and one of the very few things she will ask of her colleagues as she departs.
Who is she? The former prime minister of New Zealand.

What's the big deal?

What is she saying? In her final speech this week, Ardern spoke of both her personal and political ambitions and achievements.
On describing herself as a "worrier":
Some might say the worst possible character trait to have as a politician, or the best depending on how you cut it.
I've always believed this to be a place where you can make a difference. I leave knowing that to be true ... And not only can you be here, you can lead just like me.
On climate change:
Climate change is a crisis. It is upon us. And so one of the very few things I will ask of this House on my departure is that you please take the politics out of climate change.
On her personal life:
I had not long experienced a failed IVF round when I became leader of the Labour Party. I thought that I had found myself on a path that meant I wouldn't be a mother. Rather than process that, I campaigned to become prime minister, a rather good distraction as far as they go. Imagine my surprise when a couple of months later I discovered I was pregnant.
So, what now?

Jacinda Ardern resigns as prime minister of New Zealand
Posted: at 9:37 pm
New Zealands prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has said she is resigning, in an unexpected announcement that came as she confirmed a national election for October.
At the partys first caucus meeting of the year on Thursday, Ardern said she no longer had enough in the tank to do the job. Its time, she added.
Im leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility the responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. Its that simple, she said.
Her term as prime minister will conclude no later than 7 February but she will continue as an MP until the election this year.
I am human, politicians are human. We give all that we can for as long as we can. And then its time. And for me, its time, she said.
Ardern said she had reflected over the summer break on whether she had the energy to continue in the role, and had concluded she did not.
Ardern became the worlds youngest female head of government when she was elected prime minister in 2017 at 37. She has led New Zealand through the Covid-19 pandemic, and a series of disasters including the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, and the White Island volcanic eruption.
This has been the most fulfilling five and a half years of my life. But its also had its challenges among an agenda focused on housing, child poverty and climate change, we encountered a domestic terror event, a major natural disaster, a global pandemic, and an economic crisis, she said.
Asked how she would like New Zealanders to remember her leadership, Ardern said as someone who always tried to be kind.
I hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused. And that you can be your own kind of leader one who knows when its time to go, Ardern said.
Over the past year, Ardern has faced a significant increase in threats of violence, particularly from conspiracy theorist and anti-vaccine groups infuriated by the countrys vaccine mandates and lockdowns. She said, however, that the increased risk associated with the job were not behind her decision to step down.
I dont want to leave the impression that the adversity you face in politics is the reason that people exit. Yes, it does have an impact. We are humans after all, but that was not the basis of my decision, she said.
Ardern said she had no future plans, other than to spend more time with her family.
She thanked her partner, Clarke Gayford, and daughter Neve, whom she gave birth to while holding office, as the ones that have sacrificed the most out of all of us.
To Neve: Mum is looking forward to being there when you start school this year. And to Clarke lets finally get married.
The prime ministers announcement came as a shock to many New Zealanders. During a brief flurry of speculation over Arderns possible resignation in late 2022, the prime minister said she had no intention of doing so. In the weeks leading up to Thursdays announcement, there were no clues or leaks to suggest her resignation was on the cards.
The news arrives as New Zealand enters a closely fought election year, with the date of the vote announced for 14 October. Polling over recent months had placed the Ardern-led Labour party slightly behind the opposition National.
Ardern said her decline in the polls did not prompt her decision to leave.
Im not leaving because I believe we cant win the election, but because I believe we can and will, and we need a fresh set of shoulders for that challenge, she said.
Who will replace Ardern is not yet clear: the deputy leader and finance minister, Grant Robertson, who would be considered a frontrunner, said on Thursday that he would not be seeking the position.I am not putting myself forward to be a candidate for the leadership of the Labour party, he said.
The Labour caucus has seven days to find out whether a new candidate holds more than two-thirds of support within caucus to become the new leader and prime minister. A caucus vote for a new leader will take place on 22 January. If no one meets that threshold level of support, the leadership contest will go to the wider Labour membership.
The National leader, Christopher Luxon, said Ardern had made a significant contribution to New Zealand, in what is a difficult and demanding job and called her a strong ambassador for New Zealand on the world stage.
Her leadership in the aftermath of the Christchurch terror attacks was simultaneously strong and compassionate, and is something she can be proud of, he added.
The prime minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, paid tribute to Ardern, saying she has shown the world how to lead with intellect and strength She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities.
