Is there any other place to see in Las Vegas beside the strip?|124112

I_ve been to Vegas couple of times, and in about two weeks, we are planing to go back there. Is there any other place to see in Las Vegas beside the strip?

  • Downtown Las Vegas has a lot of casinos and the Fremont Street Experience light show, produced on a metal canopy stretching five blocks along the top of Fremont Street. BTW, the Strip isn_t in Las Vegas. It_s in Winchester and Paradise, Nevada. There_s the Hoover Dam. 45 minutes north of the Las Vegas area is Overton, home of the Los City Museum where they have re-created the cave dwellings of the Anasazi who lived here before the current tribes of Native Americans. South of the city on the Boulder Highway is the County Heritage Museum. Further south, at the Railroad Pass Casino, you can board a train for a short trip to Boulder City and the Railroad Museum there. You can take a motor trip to Grand Canyon in Arizona. If you do, make the side trip to Winslow and see Meteor Crater, the crater produced by a metor strike millions of years ago. I don_t know if it is too late in the year, but you might want to take a trip on Lake Mead on board the paddle-wheel steamer the Desert Queen. Three hour tour with a brunch included.
    Last, but not least, is a new museum east of the Strip on Flamingo Road near the University. It_s the Atomic Testing Museum and is dedicated to telling the story of the brave and dedicated people who carried out testing of atomic weapons northeast of Las Vegas years ago.

  • Hoover Dam
    Freemont Street
    Grand Canyon

  • Yeah there_s this place outside of the strip. It_s called Red Rock Casino and I guess you can say it_s pretty new. I went there last month and wow..it was soo beautiful! There_s this attraction, like rock and it_s like a water fall but then the best thing is that fire comes out later and it_s awesome!
