A sleek black dome rising beside the Las Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium is the climate-controlled home of the Las Vegas Raiders football team and a marquee venue for concerts and major events. Completed in 2020, the fully enclosed stadium seats around sixty-five thousand and was built to bring professional football to the desert city, quickly becoming a glittering addition to its skyline. The stadium marked the long-awaited relocation of the Raiders, a storied franchise that moved from the Bay .....

A surreal playground of immersive art and entertainment just off the Las Vegas Strip, AREA15 defies easy description, blending an interactive art museum, an amusement park and a retail and dining complex into a single windowless black box. Opened in 2020, it set out to offer experiences found nowhere else, filling its cavernous interior with otherworldly installations, rides, virtual-reality adventures and constantly changing events. The complex was created as a destination deliberately apart f.....

An immersive digital-art experience on the Las Vegas Strip, Arte Museum fills a series of darkened halls with vast, ever-shifting projections of nature reimagined through light, sound and technology.

The museum is the work of a South Korean design studio that pioneered the concept, building large-scale media.....

Tucked within the pyramid-shaped Luxor Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, the Atrium Showroom is an intimate theatre that hosts some of the resort's long-running resident productions.

Among the most beloved free spectacles in Las Vegas, the Fountains of Bellagio send jets of water dancing high into the air above a vast lake in choreographed shows set to music and light. Launched with the resort in 1998, the fountains have become an icon of the city, drawing crowds to the railings along the Strip for performances that play out every day from afternoon into the late evening. The fountains occupy an artificial lake of more than eight acres in front of the resort, fed by an arra.....

Set in the high desert about a half-hour south-east of the Las Vegas Strip, Boulder City was purpose-built in 1931 as the construction camp for the workers who built nearby Hoover Dam. Unlike the cities that grew up around it, the town was planned from the start by the United States Bureau of Reclamation as a model federal community, with broad streets, generous green parks and a strict moral code that famously banned gambling within the city limits, a prohibition that survives in modified form .....

Located inside the iconic Flamingo Las Vegas on the heart of the Strip, Bugsy's Cabaret is an intimate showroom that takes its name from Benjamin Bugsy Siegel, the notorious figure behind the original Flamingo resort in the 1940s. The theatre offers a far more personal alternative to the giant arenas elsewhere in the city, hosting the kind of long-running production shows for which Las Vegas is famous in a close, club-style setting. The showroom is compact and built for resident entertainment, .....

A short distance west of the Strip, the Erotic Heritage Museum is an unusual, scholarly attempt to treat the long history of human sexual expression as a serious cultural subject. Opened in August 2008 by a partnership of religious freedom advocates and adult entertainment industry figures, the 24,000-square-foot museum occupies a converted warehouse and presents a permanent collection alongside changing exhibitions intended to reframe public conversations about sexuality. The museum's collecti.....

Inside the Showcase Mall on the central Las Vegas Strip, Flyover is the newest of a small international chain of simulated flight experiences that originated in Vancouver and now operates in several cities across North America.

The format is dramatic. After a short pre.....

Within the Showcase Mall on the central Las Vegas Strip, the Hard Rock Cafe is the city's outpost of the iconic rock-and-roll themed restaurant chain founded in London in 1971. Hard Rock's arrival in Las Vegas dates back to 1990, when the original Strip cafe opened, before relocating to its present, conveniently positioned site at the Showcase Mall, where it forms part of a cluster of attractions including the M&M's World, Coca-Cola Store and Adventuredome experiences along the busiest stretch o.....
