Paradise is the unincorporated town in Clark County that holds most of the famous Las Vegas Strip. Although nearly everyone calls it Las Vegas, the giant resorts south of Sahara Avenue, Harry Reid International Airport and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas all sit in Paradise, home to about 190,000 residents and tens of millions of visitors a year.
Las Vegas Boulevard is the main event, a four-mile line of themed megaresorts, casinos, shows and restaurants. The Bellagio's dancing fountains, the replica skyline of New York-New York with its roller coaster, the MGM Grand and the High Roller observation wheel are all here, along with world-famous nightclubs, celebrity chef restaurants and big production shows.
T-Mobile Arena hosts NHL hockey, boxing and concerts, and the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign at the south end of the Strip is a favorite photo stop. Away from the neon, the UNLV campus and quiet neighborhoods fill the eastern side of town, and Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are each under an hour's drive.
The famous four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard lined with giant themed casino resorts, shows, fountains and neon, almost all of it inside the town of Paradise rather than the city of Las Vegas. Walking it is free and fascinating at night. Wear comfortable shoes and use the pedestrian bridges to cross.
A free water show on the lake in front of the Bellagio, with more than 1,000 nozzles shooting water up to 460 feet high in time with music and lights. Shows run every 30 minutes in the afternoon and every 15 minutes in the evening. Watch from the Strip sidewalk or the Paris Las Vegas side.
A half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas with an observation deck about 46 stories up, reached by elevator. It looks straight down on the Bellagio Fountains across the Strip. Go at night to watch the fountain show from above, and buy tickets online to skip some of the line.
A glass-roofed conservatory inside the Bellagio filled with elaborate floral displays that change with each season, including Chinese New Year, spring, summer, fall and holiday themes. Entry is free and it is open around the clock. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds.
A giant spherical venue next to The Venetian, covered in a huge LED exterior that displays changing images visible across the valley. Inside, a wraparound screen and immersive sound host concerts and films. Tickets are pricey; even from outside, the exterior display is worth seeing at night.
A 550-foot observation wheel at The LINQ, among the tallest in the world, with glass cabins that take about 30 minutes to make a full rotation and give sweeping views over the Strip. Some cabins have an open bar. Ride at sunset or after dark for the best views of the lights.
A landmark Roman-themed resort opened in 1966, with marble statues, fountains, the Colosseum theater and the Forum Shops, a shopping mall with painted-sky ceilings and talking statue shows. Even non-guests can wander the casino and shops. Check out the Fountain of the Gods at the front.
A large resort inspired by Venice, with replicas of the Rialto Bridge and Campanile, and the Grand Canal Shoppes, where indoor canals with singing gondoliers run beneath a painted sky. Gondola rides are available indoors and outside. Wander the shopping area for free.
A resort shaped like the New York skyline with replica skyscrapers, a Statue of Liberty and a Brooklyn Bridge walkway out front. It has the Big Apple Coaster that loops around the towers, plus restaurants and bars. Ride the coaster at night for great views of the Strip.
An aquarium at Mandalay Bay with sharks, rays, sea turtles, jellyfish and other marine creatures, including a tunnel where sharks swim overhead and a touch pool. It is one of the best family attractions on the Strip. Buy tickets online and allow about an hour.
A modern arena between New York-New York and Park MGM, home of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and host to major concerts, boxing and UFC fights. The Park, a landscaped plaza with restaurants and bars, leads up to it. Arrive early on game nights to enjoy the pregame atmosphere.
A domed stadium just west of the Strip, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders and host of major concerts and the Super Bowl. Its black glass exterior and giant torch are distinctive. Stadium tours run on non-event days; on game days, allow plenty of time for the walk from the Strip.
