10 10 Las Vegas, Nevada Your Las Vegas vacation will likely revolve around the iconic neon lights and famous (albeit somewhat kitschy) sights along the Strip. This is where Lady Luck will make or break your bank account, but there are other diversions attached to the casinos: ride the gondola at The Venetian, see views atop the Eiffel Tower at Paris, Las Vegas, or enjoy the renowned fountain show at the Bellagio. But if you can part with the glitz and glam of Las Vegas Boulevard, you ll find the rest of the city has plenty to offer.
