Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a lot has been affected in Las Vegas. The famed city is not what it used to be, but thankfully, things are gradually getting back to normal. If you don’t like the continuous COVID-19 testing, social distancing rules and non-stop handwashing among other sanitization measures, you can still enjoy playing classic slots online from the comfort of your sofa at home. Playing online slots with bonus rounds, such as 40 Super Hot slot, will keep the gaming thrill alive as you wait for the roll-out of a permanent solution for the novel virus.

While Sin City is known for its crop of complex casino resorts, gambling is not the only form of entertainment you can relish. Whether you go to Vegas for a couple of hours, a few days or even some weeks, the clock is always running here because you can’t run out of fun activities. You can take pleasure in the flashy nightlife in mind-blowing entertainment joints or wind down through the day soaking up the sunshine beside a luxurious resort swimming pool. Depending on how you like to have fun, you can come with your family members, invite your friends or spend some quality ‘me-time’ with yourself!

If you’ve never been to Las Vegas, the gaming and entertainment Mecca should be at the top of your bucket list as soon as the dust settles down. Here are some of the most interesting things you can do in Las Vegas!

Fly Over Las Vegas Aboard a Chopper

What better way to take in the beauty of the marvelous city in one swoop than an aerial tour? On your first day in Sin City, even before you decide where to go, you can board a helicopter and fly over the dashing Las Vegas strip. Soar high up in the skies to catch an incredible glimpse of iconic landmarks such as The Strat, Venetian, the Eiffel Tower, Caesars Palace and Bellagio, as well as the historic downtown which hosts the official stadiums for the Las Vegas Raiders and the Vegas Golden Nights!

Watch the Astonishing Cirque du Soleil Event

The Le Cirque du Soleil show, which brings together high-octane athleticism, magic, art, among other things, is one of the most remarkable circus creators across the globe. Those who manage to attend the event always walk away from the venue in awe, having witnessed one of the most exciting shows of their lifetime. Just in case you’d like to have a wonderful evening together with your family and friends, then don’t hesitate to book your Cirque du Soleil ticket.

Ride the LINQ High Roller

Sin City will offer you whatever you need, whether you are a player who likes to get your hands dirty or you prefer to watch the action from a distance.

Place a $20 Bet on a Slot Machine at the Wynn Casino

Your Las Vegas experience won’t be complete if you leave the city without taking a shot at the slot machine games. As is the case for the aforementioned poker, there are plenty of casino houses where you can spin the slot machine.
