There are thousands of things to do in Las Vegas other than the dozens of casino’s. Just by the simple fact that your here your most likely looking for something “else” to do in Vegas so I’ll skip the gambling attractions.

Las Vegas Restaurants

The Picasso is a French, Greek and Mediterranean restaurant located inside the Bellagio casino located at 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd in Las Vegas, Nevada. Its on the upper end of the

price range even for Vegas standards but most all their customers say its worth it. You can reach them at their reservation line (877) 234-6358.

The best Steak House in Las Vegas is by far the Envy the Steakhouse.
It is 5 star rated and a little less expensive than the Picasso. They serve breakfast and brunch and and dinner and are located in the Renaissance Hotel at 3400 Paradise Rd Las Vegas, NV 89169. The garlic mashed potato’s are great and the bone in rib-eye was huge and perfectly cooked. You can reach them at their reservation line (702) 784-5716

The New York Pizza & Pasta is located at 2400 S Jones Blvd Ste 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
No reservation is necessary but if you need directions you can call them at (702) 871-1159.
Pizza was very authentic and cheap. Thin crust and just the right amount of toppings. Make sure to fold it. The guys who work here were probably the most friendly I’ve experienced in a NY pizzeria in a long time. We also had some pasta, but the main event was definitely the pizza.

Las Vegas Hotels

The Venetian Hotel located at 3355 Las Vegas Blvd in North Las Vegas, Nevada is a jewel in the crown of the hotels there. There reservation line is (702) 414-1000.



Many that stayed there say no other hotel in even comes close! I have to say that the rooms here are by far the most comfortable and most spacious. The sectional couch in the room is great for lounging. Anyway, I just returned from a recent trip and again was not disappointed. Staff is friendly and thank you very much for not having a Starbucks but rather a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf!

The Wynn Las Vegas is located at 3131 S Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, Nevada. The Wynn is truly a work of art, overlooking the strip the view is incredible. When you book your reservation at (702) 770-7100 make sure you ask for the Vegas strip side. They have floor to ceiling windows and a Cafe on the veranda overlooking the pool and breath taking waterfall.

Golden Nugget Hotel located at 129 Fremont St Las Vegas, Nevada is truly a unique experience. It is one of the oldest hotels in Vegas and not the nicest one by far but they have something the huge hotels on the Las Vegas Strip do not have, convenience. They are in the older part of town which means its more like a Main street any town USA experience. Just walk out of the hotel and within 3 blocks there are literally dozens of restaurants, cafes, gift shops and places and people to see. They are under the now famous outdoor overhead projection screen that stretches for 3 city blocks with movies and events televised over head nearly 24 hours a day. Their reservation number is (702) 385-7111.

Las Vegas Attractions and Theme Parks

The Adventuredome Theme Park located on the Circus Circus Casino grounds at 2880 Las Vegas Blvd South at Las Vegas, Nevada is family fun for everyone. No reservation necessary but if you need to call the number is (702) 794-3939. This giant pink dome holds many cherished memories from the childhood of thousands of kids from all over the world. The Canyon Blaster is crazy and wild, even if it doesn’t last a long time. There’s also a really fun water ride, I can never remember the name of it though. I didn’t care too much for the Inverter but the kids loved it. It’s best to get a day pass, it’ll save more money. And you can get on rides as many times as you’d like.

The Big Shot at the top of Stratosphere Hotel at 2000 Las Vegas Blvd South in Las Vegas, Nevada is the best ride in Las Vegas. It’s on top of the stratosphere and shoots you straight up like your being launched into orbit. The first time I went on it a local News helicopter was in the vicinity and it felt like you could reach out and touch it. And oh what a view if you are able to open your eyes. Its not a theme park but its certainly worth the mention. They have a huge arcade, I know the kids love the video games. The reservation number is (702) 380-7711.

The Excalibur Hotel-Casino is pretty much entirely a Theme Park from the giant front gate to the back door. It is located at 3850 Las Vegas Blvd in Las Vegas, Nevada and the reservation number is (702) 597-7100.
“Dude, it’s a freakin’ castle in Vegas! How cool is that?” Kids from 2 to 92 love absolutely love it. My wife and I met her brother and his wife there for the Knights in King Author’s Court show. Horses and knights in full body armor fought for the right to marry the kings daughter and they seemingly held nothing back. It was authentic right down to the costumed wench waitresses’, the full hens on the plate and the lack of silverware. Writing about it now brings back so many memories. The architecture is surely different like every eclectic casino on the strip, but it’s “Disney” appearance is its main attraction.
