The list » Five more things to do on the Las Vegas Strip
Not everyone who visits the Las Vegas Strip is old enough to drink or gamble, even if the city’s ads imply otherwise. But this place didn’t earn its title of entertainment capital of the world by limiting itself to nightclubs and craps tables. Here are five options.
1 Take a ride
Why deal with the crowds at ground level when you can see the Strip from the sky? The Linq Promenade’s High Roller is a 550-foot-tall observation wheel that has become an indelible part of the Vegas skyline since it opened for business in 2014. If you want a little more thrill with your view, the Fly Linq zip line launches from 114 feet above the promenade and takes you 1,121 feet to the front of the High Roller.
2 Dip a toe
The Strip is famous for its pool scene. Some of the pools are limited to those 21 and over, but many are available to all ages. Check with your favorite hotel for details.
3 Find a bargain
Every block of the Strip seems to have its own haven for shopaholics. Over at Resorts World, established brands like Fred Segal mingle with online entities making their first foray into the brick-andmortar world. And centers like the Miracle Mile Shops are evolving to capture attention in the brave new digital world — 75-foot-tall hat wall, anyone?
4 Catch a game
You probably already know NHL record holder Phil Kessel and the Golden Knights play their home games at T-Mobile Arena. It also hosts college hockey, college basketball and professional bull riding.
5 See a show
If current trends continue, residencies will soon outnumber buffets on the Strip. The list of current or upcoming residents includes Bruno Mars, Garth Brooks and some woman named Adele.
