Not to mention that it’s loaded with free attractions, most of which can be found at 17 of the 25 largest hotels in the world. A wide variety of unique themes, great shows, rides, museums and restaurants make the strip the incredible place it is today. Downtown Las Vegas is just as fun with attractions like “The Tank” at The Golden Nugget and the Fremont Street Experience.
