Las Vegas, located in the Mojave Desert of the US state of Nevada, is a popular tourist destination known for its lively nightlife with casinos and other entertainment open around the clock. The main street and lifeline of the city is the almost 6.5 km (4 mi) long so-called Strip. Along this boulevard are numerous themed hotels with unusual design elements such as musical fountains or replicas of an Egyptian pyramid, the Grand Canal in Venice or the Eiffel Tower. But don’t forget the heart of Las Vegas, Downtown with Fremont Street. After all, this is where it all began.

In this article I want to share my top 21 things to do in Las Vegas.
