With shows, residencies, museums, artwork, celebrity chefs, gambling, partying, and incomparable desert landscapes, deciding what your Vegas experience should include can be overwhelming—and FOMO is real. Check out our Las Vegas Bucket List. We'll help you narrow down what not to miss in Vegas, whether it's your first visit or you're a regular.
Let's take a closer look at the following 8 Las Vegas bucket list things:
Visit the Neon Museum
The Neon Museum is one of the most fascinating and visually appealing museums in Las Vegas, and it should be on everyone's Vegas bucket list. The Neon Museum allows you to explore the incredible and iconic casino signs and art pieces from Vegas's past, with displays featuring some of the city's most iconic neon signs.
Fly through the sky on a zipline.
Whether you go with Fly LINQ or SlotZilla, ziplining across a section of Sin City (the Strip or Fremont Street, respectively) is a must-do—unless you're afraid of heights. Then skip this one and choose one of the other things not to miss in Las Vegas.
Visit the downtown container park.
Strangely, the downtown container park is almost exactly what it sounds like: a shopping mall made entirely of shipping containers. The famous fire-breathing mantis can get found here, as well as plenty of shopping, dining, concerts, and shows. There's also the Playground, including the Treehouse, an interactive play area with a 33-foot-tall slide. If you're visiting Vegas with children, the container park should be at the top of your list of things not to miss.
Have a good time at the Fremont Street Experience.
Explore Las Vegas' iconic pedestrian mall, which spans five blocks and features a wide variety of stores, free concerts on three stages, and Viva Vision, the world's extensive video screen.
Pose for a photo in front of the Las Vegas sign.
Every visitor is required to stop by the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" sign. With a recently upgraded and easily accessible parking lot, it's now easier than ever to cross this experience off your Las Vegas bucket list.
Ride high on the High Roller
If a Ferris wheel is your idea of a good time at the fair, skip the adrenaline-pumping rides and head to the 550-foot-tall High Roller for a leisurely 30-minute ride that takes in the Las Vegas skyline from a climate-controlled car.
Attend a game of the Vegas Golden Knights.
Who said that hockey was only for towns where it snowed? Check out the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena to beat the heat and enjoy an exciting hockey game.
The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is unquestionably a bucket list experience, and there is no better time to check it off than while in Las Vegas. It can be a 2.5-5 hour drive each way, depending on which part of the Grand Canyon you visit. Your driving tolerance, early wake-up times, and long days will determine whether you drive yourself, take a bus tour, or opt for a shorter option, such as an airplane or helicopter tour.
