Things To Do
Shark Reef Aquarium
Located inside Mandalay Bay, this immersive aquarium brings you face-to-face with some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures, from sharks and rays to sea turtles and exotic fish. With over 2,000 animals and one of the largest tanks in North America, it’s a relaxing break from the usual Vegas energy.
Border Grill
Mexican restaurant inside Mandalay Bay.
Slice of Vegas Pizza Kitchen & Bar
Pizza restaurant located in The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay.
The LINQ Promenade
Located in between the Linq and the Flamingo. Includes tourist staples such as the High Roller Ferris Wheel, minus5 ICEBAR, the Fly LINQ Zipline, and the signature frozen Bailey's at O'Shea's!
Fremont Street Experience
Our favorite touristy spot! The Fremont Street Experience is a five-block pedestrian party under a massive LED canopy that lights up the night with music and immersive light shows. Expect a lively, slightly wild, and totally unique vibe. There's street performers, live bands, and a mix of old-school casinos and quirky bars. It’s more casual and eclectic than the Strip, with a fun, anything-goes atmosphere where you can bar-hop, people-watch, and soak in classic “old Vegas” charm. For a little extra adrenaline, you can even soar above the crowds on the SlotZilla Zipline—a multi-level zipline that lets you glide (or superhero-style fly!) beneath the glowing canopy. Whether you’re grabbing a drink, catching free concerts, or just wandering beneath the neon lights, Fremont Street is a must-see for a memorable Vegas night.

Our favorite activity for a night out! Download the "Royal Crawl" app on your phone to participate in this self-led bar crawl to five different bars at three different hotels on Fremont Street. Use the code "Social50" for 50% off your ticket!
The Mob Museum
Situated in the former courthouse that hosted the 1950 Kefauver hearings on organized crime, this museum is a non-profit dedicated to the history of organized crime and law enforcement in America. Exhibits cover history of the Mob, Prohibition, and much more! The museum is walking distance from Fremont Street.
The Sphere
The Sphere is one of the most unique and immersive entertainment venues in the world and is a must-see while you’re in Las Vegas. Known for its massive curved LED exterior and state-of-the-art interior, the Sphere blends cutting-edge technology with storytelling to create unforgettable visual experiences. Inside, you’re surrounded by a 360-degree screen, incredible sound, and even environmental effects that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Two of our favorite shows here were Postcard from Earth, a breathtaking journey across the planet with stunning visuals and emotional storytelling, and The Wizard of Oz, which brought a nostalgic favorite to life in a completely new, magical way. Whether you’re catching a show or just stopping by to admire the exterior, the Sphere is an unforgettable Vegas experience we highly recommend!

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar
Our dog Taco's favorite restaurant and where we had our first date here after moving! Located in Downtown Summerlin, 10 minutes away from Red Rock Canyon.
Valley of Fire State Park
Nevada’s oldest and most visually striking state park. Known for its vibrant red sandstone formation, the landscape often appears to glow like it’s on fire, especially at sunrise and sunset. Visitors can explore scenic drives, short hiking trails, and ancient petroglyphs carved into the rocks more than 2,000 years ago, all set within the dramatic beauty of the Mojave Desert. Note: Valley of Fire is about an hour away from Las Vegas and you will need a rental car to get here.
