  5. Viva Las Vegas Fun Facts

Las Vegas is such a fun place to visit, I am pretty sure there are quite a few fun facts about this city. I am fortunate enough to visit Las Vegas several times for both business and pleasure. Photos in this post are captured during those trips.

Even though Las Vegas has several huge hotels and casinos, I would highly recommend you to visit old town, experience “Fremont street experience”. You would get to experience old Las Vegas, Laser Show, Zip line and several street artists dressed up in costumes, with whom you can take pictures as well. Also Casinos in old town are cheaper, so you can loose your money slowly!

Fun Facts

As stated in downtown.vegas here are fun facts about this city

  3. "Las Vegas was rated one of the top 10 locations in the country for great food (a “foodie haven”)."

Collage of photos shot at Bellagio Hotel and Casino. The huge fountain in front and various decorations inside are must watch.

  1. “Over 22,000 conventions are held in Las Vegas every year.” I have been to few, but 22000 is an unbelievable number.

  2. "The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, located downtown in Symphony Park, ranked 10th among theater venues throughout the world for ticket sales.

  3. "At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere is the tallest observation tower in the United States and the second tallest free-standing structure west of the Mississippi River."

  2. “With its millions of lights, Las Vegas is considered the brightest spot on Earth.”

  3. “Las Vegas is home to more than half of the 20 largest hotels in the world.”

  3. "Annual rainfall in Las Vegas totals slightly more than four inches."

Collage of Various signs of Las Vegas and includes couple of shots from famous Las Vegas Buffet

Another thing I recommend is to get a The Buffet of Buffet 24 Hrs pass, This allows you get in to many famous Buffets in Las Vegas Hotels. Some time back it was available for $50, but now the prices have gone up. Also due to covid I believe buffets have not restarted. Please check when you visit Las Vegas

Here is the famous Las Vegas sign. There is always a long line to take a picture with the sign.
