It’s easy to get lost in the mega casinos on the strip, but there’s more to Las Vegas and its surroundings<br />
than first meets the eye. Check out the top five things to do on your next trip to Sin City.<br />
1. The Strip<br />
You can’t take a trip to Vegas and not wander along “The<br />
Strip”. You’ll spend most of your time looking straight up<br />
at the wild architecture and the impossibly huge hotels<br />
and casinos everywhere. And yes, that’s an exact replica<br />
of the Eiffel Tower – just half the size.<br />
2. The Grand Canyon<br />
One of the wonders of the natural world, the Grand Canyon<br />
needs to be seen to be believed. All right, it’s a couple of<br />
hours away from the city by car, but it’s still very much a<br />
part of the Las Vegas experience. Marvel at the majesty of<br />
the canyon carved out by the wide Colorado River.<br />
3. Valley of Fire State Park<br />
The red Aztec sandstone marvel that is the Valley of Fire<br />
is another great place to visit for a hike, or maybe just a<br />
slow drive in the heat. Arguably one of the most beautiful<br />
and desolate places you can expect to find in the USA, the<br />
rock formations are truly stunning.<br />
4. Zion National Park<br />
Another natural marvel just over the border in neighbouring<br />
Utah, Zion is so achingly beautiful that you’ll want to<br />
photograph everything. The towering mountains and lush<br />
valleys are addictive.<br />
5. Seven Magic Mountains<br />
And lastly, this one’s a<br />
little bit stranger than<br />
the rest. You’re not<br />
going to see a natural<br />
wonder but rather an<br />
artistic curiosity. Swiss<br />
artist Ugo Rondinone’s<br />
brightly coloured and<br />
stacked boulders are just<br />
10 miles outside of town.<br />
