Las Vegas is one of the grandest cities in the world. There are many different things you can do. Even if you spend a week in Vegas, it would be impossible to enjoy everything that Las Vegas has to offer on your first trip.
Here is a list of 15 things you should do on your first trip to Vegas.
Go Gambling
This is a no-brainer. Gambling is legal here. Sure there are other places in America where you can gamble in and outside of America, but Las Vegas is the premier place to gamble in the world. So have some fun, but gamble responsibly. Have a budget and stick to it.
Visit The Strip
If you don’t go to Strip, you didn’t go to Vegas. So book a room at one of the many Hotel/Casinos ranging from Mandalay Bay, Caesar’s Palace, The Flamingo or The Mirage.
Cirque Du Soliel
This is a one of a kind experience everyone should have. You can see them performing aerial acrobatic feats and great freestyle dances to the music of the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and other famous scores.
See a Stand-Up Comedian
With so many to choose from, you might see a few comedians whom you would love to see live. And since it’s Vegas, rest assured that anyone performing out there is bringing their A-Game.

The Fountains of Bellagio
