Things To Do
SlotZilla Zipline
SlotZilla is a 11-story slot machine-inspired zip line attraction. The multi-million-dollar SlotZilla is the world’s largest slot machine and features Las Vegas icons such as over-sized dice, a martini glass, pink flamingo, coins, video reels, a giant arm and two showgirls. The couple plans to celebrate newly wedded bliss with a zipline down Fremont Street!
The Mob Museum
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ORGANIZED CRIME & LAW ENFORCEMENT The Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. The Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at these topics through hundreds of artifacts and immersive exhibits. Jeff has visited and Liz hopes to visit soon!
Pizza Rock
Pizza Rock features gourmet pizzas in a variety of styles, 23 rotating drafts, craft cocktails, and over 60 bottled and canned beer; all served up in an artistic and energetic atmosphere. Jeff enjoyed a slice of Pizza here after a quick walk from the mob museum.
Mega Bar
Nevada’s longest indoor bar spanning 165 feet, MEGA BAR will operate as a sister concept to Stevens’ record-breaking 100-foot LONGBAR at the D Las Vegas. Featuring a back wall lined with narrow, red glass tiles, the space will be outfitted with 53 spots for seated, bar-top gaming; 46 double-stacked TVs for sports fans to catch all the gameday action; and 120 beer taps with a rotating selection. Jeff and Liz enjoy playing video poker here. If you into sports betting, there's 3 story sportsbook with 1,000 person viewing capacity, which you can see from the Mega Bar.
Barry's Downtown Prime
Barry’s Downtown Prime brings back the Vegas Steakhouse to Fremont Street. The restaurant design is inspired by old school Vegas Steakhouses which had a sense of place and timeless appeal. The design brings together classic cool ambiance of 1950’s, 1960’s, and 1970’s in combination with the Modern and Hip vibe of Circa. Jeff and Liz thought the service was unbelievable at Barry's. The kitchen split our meal for us and the bartender split our port. Everything tasted amazing, truly worth the price for the experience alone. Reservations are highly encouraged.
El Cortez Hotel and Casino
As the longest continuously running hotel and casino in Las Vegas, the El Cortez Hotel and Casino has undergone several renovations inside, but retains the same facade it had 1952 when their “new” neon signage was installed. And on February 22, 2013, their building became the only existing casino to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. From their exciting penny and nickel machines to their video poker, video keno, video reels, and multi-game machines, El Cortez is one of the only places in Las Vegas where patrons can enjoy both ticket and coin-operated machines. Jeff recommends El Cortez to first time Las Vegas visitors who want real coins when they win. There’s no sound sweeter than hitting a jackpot at the El Cortez.
Andiamo Steakhouse
Andiamo Steakhouse prides itself on homemade Italian breads, award-winning sauces, and handmade pasta. Joe Vicari’s philosophy, originating from the late Master Chef Aldo Ottaviani, is to buy the freshest ingredients and prepare them from scratch every day. Jeff and Liz visited Andiamo when they couldn't get into Barry's. They had a lot more availability, but reservations are recommended.
Gamblers General Store
The Gambling Supply Superstore. They carry gambling products, including an amazing collection of high quality cards, lammers, dice, home and casino gaming and poker tables, chip sets, dice sticks, casino memorabilia, dealer buttons, accessories, and much more. Established over three decades ago in 1984, and still downtown at 727 South Main Street, they are the trusted source worldwide for gaming equipment and supplies, award wheels, money wheels, custom clay chips, bingo supplies and more! Jeff introduced Liz to this store from his childhood. It's perfect for old school Vegas gambling memorabilia.
Millennium Fandom Bar
Out of the many things to do in Las Vegas, the Millennium Fandom Bar is a truly unique experience for anyone that enjoys nerd & pop culture and any unique fandom. Bring your friends to their Arts District location or make new ones as you enjoy their signature Fandom themed cocktails. Complimentary board games are available every night of the week! Join them for their rotating events like Karaoke, Trivia and their famous themed cosplay nights. Being at Millennium Fandom Bar makes you feel like at “home away from home” and provides you with a welcoming vibe that is truly unique in Las Vegas. You can feel comfortable knowing that you’re surrounded by nerdy and geeky enthusiasts just like you. Jeff and Liz haven't been able to experience the Fandom Bar yet, but it's on their to do list.
The Tank and The HideOut Pool
Experience Las Vegas' $30 million award- winning pool. Cool off at The Tank (open to all ages) and HideOut pool (21+) complex. The complex features a 200,000-gallon shark tank aquarium and 17 private cabanas over three separate floors. Jeff and Liz will be staying at the Golden Nugget and will be relaxing poolside between adventures. Visitor passes can be purchased but subject to availability.
Downtown Container Park Playground
This family-friendly destination is awesome for both kids and parents alike. Downtown Container Park is an open-air shopping center cleverly made up of repurposed shipping containers for a unique shopping and dining experience for adults, and a fun and playful atmosphere for the kids to explore. In addition to stores and restaurants, Downtown Container Park features an interactive playground complete with a tree house, slides and giant foam blocks specially made for kids. Also, there’s frequent live entertainment, outdoor family-friendly movie screenings, and several arts-and-crafts events throughout the year all free of charge, so you can let the kids enjoy and play to their heart’s content! Jeff and Liz enjoy walking around and checking out the shops. For those who will be traveling with a sitter and child, this would be a great spot for your little one to explore while you're having fun at our reception.
Springs Preserve
Commonly known as the "birthplace of Las Vegas," the Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas' dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future. Featuring museums, galleries, outdoor events, a colorful botanical garden and an interpretive trail system, the Springs Preserve has evolved into a world-class attraction providing a glimpse of the origins of Las Vegas.
