More about: 81 Fun Things to Do in Las Vegas

When we think of Las Vegas, the first things that come to mind are its neon lights, casinos, illuminated signs and night-time shows. Not to mention its picturesque chapels, where more than 120,000 weddings are held every year. But Nevada's largest city is much more than that. Want to know everything you can see in Las Vegas and its surroundings?

I can tell you now that you can also see incredible shows, go shopping or even visit some very interesting museums. The main city in the state of Nevada offers something for all tastes and all ages. Don't believe me? Read on.

1. Walk the Las Vegas Strip

This is the city's main thoroughfare, home to Las Vegas' most famous casinos and hotels. If you book a guided walking tour of the Strip, you'll see that the atmosphere on this 6-kilometre-long boulevard is vibrant both day and night. Its main attractions are the colourful neon lights and giant screens, the crowded casinos, the imposing hotels and the fascinating shows.

One of the best things to do in Las Vegas at night is to visit the Las Vegas Strip, when the sunlight gives way to the glow of the neon signs that decorate this street. Take a stroll and discover its famous hotels and their amazing atmosphere and architecture, with the Bellagio Fountains and the Mirage Volcano being two examples that attract hundreds of people.

In addition, one of the most popular shopping centres in Las Vegas is located here: the Fashion Show Mall, which is full of shops and restaurants where you can enjoy some of Las Vegas's gastronomic tours.

At 350 metres high, the Strat Tower is the tallest building in Las Vegas and the state of Nevada. Spectacular views await you at the top. If you want to take incredible photos, I recommend booking your ticket to the Strat Tower at dusk, when the city's lights and signs come on.

You can also enjoy a quiet drink in the tower's bars and restaurants. Or, if you like thrills, try one of the attractions at the top. They'll make you fly over the Las Vegas skyline.

3. Take a trip to the Grand Canyon

Booking your trip to the Grand Canyon is an experience you must include in your Las Vegas trip. It is divided into three parts: North Rim and South Rim (managed by the National Park Service with wonderful views) and West Rim (the area most visited by tourists from Las Vegas, which is administered by the Hualapai Indian tribe).

In the West Rim area is one of the visitors' favourite attractions, the Skywalk. A horseshoe-shaped glass-bottomed platform suspended on a cliff more than 1,200 metres above the Colorado River. The experience is highly recommended if you're not afraid of heights! And if you do suffer from vertigo, this is the perfect opportunity to overcome it and enjoy a unique landscape that you'll never forget.

4. Fly over the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, so booking your helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon is an absolute must-do in Las Vegas. Every year, around 5 million people visit this natural monument located in northern Arizona, either by helicopter or by car

Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is a steep gorge carved out by the Colorado River over more than 2 billion years. With astonishing dimensions of 446 kilometres in length and a maximum height of 1,500 metres, you can only truly appreciate the scale of the place when you look out from one of the Grand Canyon's viewpoints and are captivated by the beauty and immensity of the place.

It is very common to see newlyweds riding in limousines to the wedding venue or posing happily for their photo shoot on the Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street. Every year, thousands of couples take advantage of their trip to the United States to seal their love and walk down the aisle in one of the picturesque chapels scattered throughout the city.

What encourages many couples to get married in Las Vegas is the chance to do something a little crazy and take home a souvenir, but also the fact that, unlike other places, they don't have to spend a lot of time planning and doing paperwork for the wedding. Getting married in Las Vegas is quick, easy and fun, and can be done from one day to the next.

Las Vegas offers couples very original options for saying 'I do': from romantic traditional chapel weddings with Elvis as the officiant to themed weddings with an extravagant touch to make this day even more special and memorable, if that's possible. If you're considering it, don't hesitate, book your wedding at Graceland Chapel.
