As the excitement builds for the MHA 2017 business summit at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, you may need some help choosing which fun activities to partake in before and after the conference. After all, there is a myriad of happenings and events in the city of lights. You can start your pre or post conference adventure at the Bellagio, which lies along the midpoint of the famous Las Vegas strip. Here are five of the top attractions in Las Vegas.
The first thing most visitors notice about the Bellagio is the massive fountains. When you walk past the fountains, you’re treated to a complimentary water and light show where the fountains shoot water into the air like a choreographed dance. The Bellagio also offers a botanical garden and a fine art gallery along with several nightlife venues and the Cirque du Soleil’s “O” show.
Since the Bellagio is near the center of the strip, wear some comfortable shoes and explore the strip by visiting the Eiffel Tower at Paris or the sphinx and pyramid at the Luxor. There is one unique thing about the strip, you can visit some of the most famous landmarks in the world all on one street. At the southernmost point of the strip is the Mandalay Bay and Casino, where you will find a man-made beach and an exotic aquarium. The Stratosphere is at the north end of the strip and features a towering free-standing observation deck that is the tallest in the country.
If the Las Vegas strip is not your speed, then take a preconference visit to the Hoover Dam. Located 30 miles southeast of downtown Vegas, the dam spans the Black Canyon and the Colorado River. The dam is a mammoth structure providing electrical power to California, Nevada and Arizona for over 100 years. A quick, 30-minute guided tour allows you to view the eight massive turbines that generate power on the Nevada side of the dam. Take in some stunning views of Lake Mead and the Colorado River on the dam’s third-floor observation area.
If you need a break from the neon lights and 24-hour Vegas nightlife, then visit the ambiance of the Mohave Desert and its rolling red hills in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. According to U.S. News and World Report Travel, it is the ninth best thing to do in all of Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. If you are suffering from preconference jitters, you can unwind by hitting numerous hiking and biking trails or hopping in your car and taking the 18-mile scenic route that runs directly through the desert and Red Rock Canyon.
Whether it is preconference or post conference, you should visit old downtown Vegas and take in the Fremont Street Experience. Spreading across three blocks, the Fremont Street Experience dazzles visitors with an immense canopy using an alluring LED lighting system and a 550,000 watt sound system. The overhead light and sound show starts every hour and provides six-minute intervals of stunning enjoyment. The Fremont Street Experience also boasts the largest LED video screen on the planet, Viva Vision.
