Every hour, the Fall of Atlantis Fountain Show is presented in the Forum Shops next to the Cheesecake Factory, including the mythical King Atlas, sibling greed, a 20-foot winged beast, fire, floods, and best of all, giant talking statues.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon is one of America’s most majestic natural wonders, with its layered bands of red rock revealing millions of years of geological history. The Grand Canyon itself is 18 miles (29 km) wide, and a mile (1,6 km) deep. It is possible to hike 9 miles (14,5 km) down the Bright Angel Trail to the very bottom, and this quite tough walk is most certainly worth it! There are many spots where you can stop to appreciate the Grand Canyon National Park's beauty. Viewpoints include Mather Point, Yavapai Observation Station and architect Mary Colter’s Lookout Studio and her Desert View Watchtower. Lipan Point, with wide views of the canyon and Colorado River, is a popular, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Gambling

Gambling

Las Vegas is not called 'Sin City' for nothing! There is no doubt about — gambling is Las Vegas' most advertised attraction. There is a level for every visitor: experienced and first-timer, as most casinos offer free lessons that usually take place in the morning hours on table games such as Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette. The new penny slots are probably the most popular among the recreational gambler as to the bonus games within the games themselves. While the jackpots are, of course, not nearly as large as dollar slots, these games are fun and entertaining anyways, and you can still win some money or at least have fun gambling it away. Be confident, learn the games you want to play, look up some basic casino etiquette and remember to limit your losses.
