Las Vegas

Nevada's resort city on the Strip, and the base for day trips to the Grand Canyon, Zion and Death Valley.

Free sights include the Fountains of Bellagio, the Bellagio Conservatory and the Fremont Street light show. Also free are the Lake of Dreams at Wynn, the Flamingo Wildlife Habitat, the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and Seven Magic Mountains. Bellagio says the fountains run every 30 minutes from 3 p.m. on weekdays and from noon on weekends and holidays. From 8 p.m. to midnight they run every 15 minutes. Wynn and Visit Las Vegas give different Lake of Dreams times, so check the day.

The Mirage volcano is gone. The Mirage closed on 17 July 2024 to make way for the Hard Rock, and FOX5 reported the new resort is expected to open in late 2027. Red Rock Canyon is not free to drive. Each vehicle needs a timed entry reservation from 1 October to 31 May, and a day pass for a private car is $20.

The monorail is $6.25 for one ride, or $5.75 as an eTicket. A 1-day pass is $15.50. The Deuce bus on the Strip is $6 for 2 hours and $8 for 24 hours. The monorail does not serve the airport. Visit Las Vegas says the airport is just over 2 miles from the Strip on one page and about 5 miles on another.
