When you vacation in Vegas, you want to experience the shows, casinos and incredible restaurants. But when in the land of glitz, overindulgence and mega hotels, take a break from the neon lights for some adventurous things to do. Whether you have an hour or a full day, here are my suggestions for adding a little adventure to your trip. Shade is scarce in the high desert, so make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and water on any of these excursions.
Sunrise Stroll Along the Strip (One Hour)
My favorite time of day in Vegas is when the slots have slowed, and the sun is coming up. Yes, you may see some all-nighters still at the tables, but once out in the fresh air, the first thing you’ll notice is that Vegas is oddly calm. Grab a cup of coffee, stroll the Strip and enjoy the architecture of hotels like the Eiffel Tower replica and the hot air balloon of and the sleek lines of the without the crowds. The bonus—you can check off a workout.
