Get off the Strip and have some real fun.
When you think of Las Vegas, you almost definitely think of the Strip. I’m here to tell you thatplace in the world. A lot of the hotels and restaurants are legitimately great, it’s full of fun shows, and its irrational mashup of outlandish architecture needs to be seen at least once in your life. And even though I absolutely can not stand being there for more than two days, that first day and a half is usually good.
The key to a good Vegas trip is getting off the Strip. That doesn’t just mean hitting the Fremont Street Experience, the street in Old Vegas that has been turned into an open air entertainment complex. I’m also not just talking about driving out to Hoover Dam—yeah, it’s a really big dam, and pretty great if you’re into massive engineering projects and/or dams, but you should know about that already.
Here are some of my favorite things to do in Las Vegas, all of which require getting off the Strip and exploring the rest of the city.The Neon Museum is a gorgeous tribute to the bright lights of Vegas’s past. Here you can find beautiful neon signs that used to light up the Vegas night, emblazoned with the names and logos of such legendary casinos as the Stardust, the Sahara, the Silver Slipper, and more.
Anyway. Pinball’s one of my two or three favorite things in the world. Nothing beats bashing the ball around while drinking a good beer. My wife and I dig it so much that we’ve got six machines in our living room.Obviously I’m going to love any place called the Pinball Hall of Fame, at least if it’s halfway decent at commemorating the game.
