It was around 8 PM, We were on our way to the hotel and I could see colorfully lit up street called STRIP.

What is strip?? Strip (around 6 KM/4 Miles) is a stretch of themed casino resort hotel which is open 24 hours a day.

Go on High Roller ride with your loved ones:

High Roller/Observation is a slow-moving ferry wheel ride with an optional bar choice. It takes around 30 minutes to complete a single revolution.

If you are going on Vegas trip with your partner or gf/bf, then I suggest you guys take roller ride during the night so you can have some romantic time while you sip on your favorite drink.

Explore popular Wedding Chapels of Vegas:

Did you know, Las Vegas is also known as Marriage capital of the world??

It is because of the ease of acquiring a marriage license at very minimal cost. Angelina Jolie, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan are some of the famous celebrities who got married in Las Vegas wedding chapels.

Day 3

Hoover Dam:

Hoover dam/Arch gravity dam is located between the borders of Nevada and Arizona. The coolest part of Hoover dam is, I was able to stand in two different time zones(Pacific and Mountain) and two different states(Nevada and Arizona) simultaneously.

Grand Canyon:

Grand Canyon is around 4 hours drive from Vegas. You can either take a helicopter tour, choose bus tours or you can drive as we did.

Apart from breathtaking views, Grand Canyon is famous for horseshoe-shaped glass walkway located 4000+ feet above ground level.

Shower your kids with love at these places in Vegas:

Let your kid indulge in sweet treats at M & M, walk around the strip during the day so that kids can roam around without much of crowd intervention, attend light and water show at Bellagio fountain.

Attend a concert at the entertainment capital of the world:

Vegas hosts multiple shows throughout the year and people from around the world attend the concerts so, I would suggest you guys book tickets in advance to avoid overpaying and also wait.

Explore your wild side at Vegas nightclubs:

Let yourself loose, have a drink or two and enjoy the night by dancing to the upbeat music in any of the hundreds of nightclubs located in Las Vegas.

Treat your taste buds:

Most popular chefs across the globe like gordan ramsay, sanjeev kapoor, and many others own a restaurant in Vegas. So, choose the chef you love and enjoy a meal in one of their restaurants.
