🎰Ah, Las Vegas! You may have heard of it lol Vegas was actually at the top of my travel OT bucket list & it took me 3.5 years to get an assignment there. Needless to say I took full advantage of living in a place that people come from all over the world to visit! But after a while The Strip becomes very annoying, crowded, touristy and expensive. I did so many things off The Strip and tried many different restaurants. Here are some things that I got into while there! Let’s just call this part 1 😋🎰
1. The Neon Museum: Cool way to learn about the history of Las Vegas’ neon signs! It’s pretty much a neon sign bone yard! On select nights there is a special show where, with special effects, the signs light up along with retro music.
2. Symphony Park: A beautiful, small, clean and crowd free park located in downtown Vegas. There are various art instillations with the most popular being the huge colorful “pipe dreams” piece!

3. Ethel M’s Chocolates Factory & Botanical Gardens: This is actually technically in Henderson, NV but it’s right next to Las Vegas! During my visit I went for a walk through the cactus garden, went on the very brief self guided tour of candy making then wine & chocolate pairing! This was a lot of fun!
4. Pinball Hall of Fame: The worlds largest collection of vintage pinball machines under one roof. And you can play all of them!!! Very VERY unique experience for all ages!
5. Level Up Nitro Creamery & Boba: I guess this is technically a food place but I saw it as a gaming place that happened to sell food! Lol. I ordered a boba tea and spent a hour playing Super Mario, Banjo & Kazooie among other games. The first hour is free then they charge per hour after that. I loved this place and would definitely go back!

6. Zappos Campus Tour: An inside look into the fun and positive Zappos culture! The tour is about 90 minutes long and there is never a dull moment! The campus is very close to Fremont Street!

🎰That’s it for now! I hope that this encourages you to leave The Strip & Fremont Street for a bit when visiting Vegas. The city has so much more to offer!🎰
Viva Las Vegas!❤️

I’ve been to Vegas twice and I’ve yet to do anything fun besides the buffet once, will be saving this list of fun options for my next adventure to Sin City.

Glad that you are interested! Haha yea, most people go and literally stay on The Strip or Fremont Street the whole time! I was guilty of it too before living there! The city has so much more to offer and things are much cheaper when you leave the touristy areas!
