Las Vegas "tourism"

According to Scarborough, eight percent of the U.S. adult population visited Las Vegas during the past year, making it one of America’s top tourist destinations. Since “living like a local” is appealing when traveling, Scarborough used local data to highlight the casinos, restaurants and activities popular to Las Vegas residents. According to Scarborough Las Vegas data:
You are likely to find Las Vegas locals visiting casinos off The Strip
California serves as an important feeder state to Las Vegas tourism, but people from all over the country flock to the city restaurants in casinos are a huge draw for Las Vegas residents
The Fremont Street Experience is popular among the locals
Las Vegas adults place a priority on outdoors activities and fitness
Las Vegas is among the country’s top viewers of digital video displays
Youth and Spanish-oriented media content is popular among  Las Vegas adults
Las Vegas locals have varied online tastes

Bellagio Fountains

The Bellagio’s lake throws up entrancing fountain displays choreographed to music from Michael Jackson to Gene Kelly (and, less appealingly, Lee Greenwood). The 1,200 water cannons, arranged in lines and circles, shoot water that dances and sways to the music, reaching as high as 460 feet. Grab a seat in one of the Bellagio restaurants overlooking the water, or take in the view from the sidewalk out front. Watching live, this mandatory Vegas attraction is just like you’ve seen in the movies—only better.

Grand Canyon


From Las Vegas it’s just over four hours’ drive to the utterly breathtaking Grand Canyon and the best selfies of your life, and the city offers many transportation options to help you get there and explore. Check out companies such as Canyon Tours or Pink Jeep Tours for ground, air and water options, or buzz over to Arizona and land below the rim on a helicopter tour. If you’d rather take a Las Vegas city tour, check out Big Bus, which offers both day and night trips.

Sky Jump, Big Shot, X Scream and Insanity at the Stratosphere


If you’re afraid of heights, stay away from the 1,150-foot (350m) Stratosphere Tower. And even if you don’t suffer from vertigo, you might want to steer clear of the resort’s thrill rides. The Big Shot will rocket you 160 feet (49m) up the tower’s spindle under a force of four Gs; at the top, you’ll experience a moment of weightlessness before free-falling back to the launch pad. X Scream will propel you 27 feet over the edge of the Tower and then leave you there to dangle. And during Insanity, an arm extends over 900ft of air and spins you around at a terrifying rate. True daredevils can take it one step further with the SkyJump, a controlled, 829-foot leap from the tower that has you reaching speeds of 40mph on the way down. Best save dinner for later.
