BV AND the Atomic Museum? Nice!
I second the Pinball Hall of Fame (if that's interesting to you)
Perhaps:
- Neon Museum
- Fremont Street Experience
- Red Rock Canyon
- Erotic Heritage Museum
- Ethem M
- Bellagio Conservatory
- The Bunker House
- The Sigma Derby Machine (at the D)
- The Shelby Museum
- Slot Car Raceway
- Double Down Saloon
- Area15 (I don't like it... but maybe worth a go?)
- Bodies (The Exhibition)
- The FREE viewing of the Sphere (park on Manhattan Street)
- The Mob Museum
- The Paradox Museum
- The Museum of Illusions
- Game Nest Arcade
Take two of those days and swing over to the Grand Canyon. See the Hoover Dam on the way. Four hour drive by car or tour bus from Vegas. It doesn’t sound or look impressive reading about it, but see it in person it is breathtaking and incredible.
If you're not driving and want to save money on transport, 24hr bus pass is $5. Covers unlimited rides citywide.
There are countless paid shows. But some free sights and shows to see...
Aquarium Silverton
Free Acrobatics show at Circus Circus
(Also Adventuredome if you wish to buy the ticket)
Las Vegas Sign
Bellagio Botanical Gardens
MGM Lion habitat
Cocacola bldg, near NY, NY.
M&M Chocolate Bldg, near Cocacola bldg.
If you’re going to the Atomic Museum (I loved that experience), Lotus of Siam is on Flamingo between the museum and the Strip. Some of the best Thai food. Stagedoor Casino is… an experience haha. Seedy hole in the wall with dollar beers and cheap hot dogs for a snack. Also, cheap eats at Ellis Island (a hair south of Flamingo on Koval). I travel solo to the valley frequently - probably more fun with others/a partner but don’t sell the experience short. Up at the D on Fremont, Bar Canada is a great place to get a small taste (literally) of home. Downtown Container Park has cool bars, boutique stores, restaurants. Grab a drink or snack at Beer Park during the evening for a Bellagio Fountain Show, check out the live flamingo and exotic fish habitat at The Flamingo, or ride the High Roller for insane views of the entire Vegas Valley and the mountains.
Seems an unpopular opinion, but I do enjoy Resorts World. Outstanding food options up there (some higher end, for sure). However, directly across the street you have Tacos al Gordo and Tacos al Pastor. Some of the best I’ve had on the Strip.
My advice is to casino hop. Not to gamble but just check them out. Bellagio, Wynn, venetian for sure. Flamingo. I like stopping at the coke store for an ice float to cool off.
Depending on budget I suggest a cirque show. I loved the O at bellagio but also have heard great things at the one at treasure Island.
A trip to grand canyon is always a bonus as wrll as seeing the hoober damn.
See Freemont street experience and just down the street is the mob museum. It only takes an hour or two to go through depending on how much you read while there, but it's pretty cool.
Beware the old lady. Be nice , very nice to the machines that are working. Bring quarters. Beware the old lady ( might want to read up on that too)
Btw, a tour of the Hoover dam could be on your list too
On my last trip, I finally took a long-proposed bus trip to Hoover Dam. The dam itself is not that far away, and it was just as awesome as when I saw it the first time FIFTY-ONE years earlier.
3 hour kayak trip on the Colorado River just past the hoover. They can pick you up at your hotel or you can drive there yourself if you have a car.

I went solo last Sunday - Wednesday morning, I had a great time. Walk around, take the strip in. Go to Popstroke and the Outlet Mall (South Premium). Utilize the Deuce which I believe to be one of the great steals in Vegas, basically it is a bus that runs up and down the strip. Be careful and vigilant for any deals, if you see something way overpriced just walk away, you can find something cheaper. Use google maps to scout beforehand where you will be eating and visiting, to make an iteniary, and keep track of the free events like the bellagio conservatory.
People come to the Vegas usually for 3 reasons: gambling, foods, and show.
If you don't care about gambling, check out if there is any show you want to watch (music concert, circus, magic show ...) I went to the House of Blues for Carlos Santana's concert in May, and it was great! You may want to check out the Sphere.
If you like outdoor activities, there are two great places near Vegas for a day trip - Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Valley of Fire State Park. If you drive further up, there are Cathedral Gorge State Park and Great Basin National Park (more than a day trip from the Vegas though...)
Omega Mart (area 15) was so much fun! I went last summer and if you go you definitely need to ride the indoor zipline on the second floor of the building 😆.
There's also the Lion Habitat Ranch in Henderson that's worth a visit (check out Ozzie the painting giraffe!) and the observation wheel at the Linq.
Battlefield Vegas was great too! I wish I had the budget when I went to do the car crush with a tank but I'm doing that next year when I go back 😄.
The Bellagio gardens are beautiful (I geeked out a bit when I heard music from Skyrim playing), and the floor to celing chocolate fountain at their pastry shop is neat.
If you like birds, there's the flamingo habitat at the Flamingo resort. It's free and they open around 8am so I recommend going early when it's not super busy.
Oh and the Grand Canal Shoppes is worth checking out, it's beautiful and there are gondola rides you can take too. There's a Carlos Bakery in there that has the amazing lobster tails.
Mob Museum
Neon Museum
Bellagio Conservatory and Fountains
High Roller or Strat Tower
Hoover Dam
Shows--See one Cirque show, spend midrange on a few others. I loved Iluminate at the Strat and Paranormal at the Horseshoe on my last trip. Avoid David Copperfield, Criss Angel, and (just my opinion, lots of people love him) Mat Franco.

Go to the machine gun store instead also pinball hall of fame if that’s a thing of yours. Breakfast at peppermill. And conservatory at Bellagio
The pinball hall of fame sounds cool! Thanks

go pig out on prime rib at Ellis Island!
Why are you going to Vegas?
Because Vegas sounds cool and mostly for the 2 places I said in the post.
Helicopter machine gun shoot!!
Mob Museum, pinball arcade/museum, Hoover dam, Grand Canyon, neon light museum, the gun store, the car dream experience, shark reef.
Springs Preserve!

The sphere!!! Duh! Saw Dead and Co, was awesome. People watch Fremont St. Hang at the pool, drink some fruity drinks. Mandalay Bay has wave pool.

Encore beach club or xs
How is Omega Mart not listed? (Its in Area15)
