When you’re looking for a getaway that’s full of excitement, Las Vegas is the obvious choice. Known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, this city was built for 24/7 fun. There are so many things to do and places to see in Las Vegas; it’s no wonder it’s a top pick for Funjetters.
With our Las Vegas vacation packages, you can get a great deal by bundling the price of your flight and hotel.

Ready to fill your itinerary? Here are some of our favorite ways to experience Las Vegas, from legendary attractions on the Strip to unforgettable adventures beyond the neon lights.
What to See and Do in Las Vegas
See a Live Show
Other than trying your luck at the casinos, the next must-do Las Vegas activity is catching a show. There are endless themes to suit your fancy and entertain your travel group, whether you’re enjoying a family vacation, friends’ trip, or a romantic getaway.
Catch a concert from your favorite artist or a comedy show from a world-renowned comedian at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
Caesars Palace also features Absinthe, an adults-only, circus-style variety show that combines risqué comedy with jaw-dropping acrobatics and burlesque.
Travel back in time to watch the family-friendly Tournament of Kings, a medieval-themed dinner and show. Watch valiant knights joust and swordfight for honor as you dine on a meal fit for a king.
Cirque du Soleil produces some of the most highly recommended shows in Las Vegas, so catching at least one of the several they put on is a must. Right now, you can see KÀ at MGM Grand, Mystère at Treasure Island, O at Bellagio, Mad Apple at New York-New York, and Blue Man Group at Luxor.
Take a Gondola Ride
Las Vegas can make you feel like anything’s possible, including being anywhere in the world. Step into the Venetian and enter Sin City’s replica of the sunny streets of Venice, complete with blue skies, cozy shops, world-class dining options, and the Grand Canal, which runs alongside the Strip outdoors through the Grand Canal Shoppes inside1. Explore the vibrant streetscapes on an authentic Venetian gondola as you pass by cafes and float under bridges and balconies. It’s a fun new daytime experience for kids and a romantic date night idea.
Explore AREA15
Of all the Las Vegas activities and attractions, this is one of the most unique experiences you’ll have. With immersive entertainment, VR experiences, a flight simulator, and massive art installations, it’s easy to get lost in the fun. Give yourself a few hours to explore Omega Mart inside. This surreal, interactive art installation goes from a quirky supermarket to a bizarre world full of hidden rooms, colorful creatures, and an intriguing storyline you can piece together with family or friends2.
Enjoy Culinary Delights From World-Famous Chefs
Las Vegas has become one of America's top food destinations. Whether you're craving celebrity chef restaurants, upscale steakhouses, global cuisine, or casual late-night bites, you'll find something for every appetite. If you’re in the mood for upscale Italian, Brezza at Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World offers handmade pastas, top-quality heritage beef, fresh seafood, and a selection of fine wines.
Other excellent picks include ¡VIVA!, Chef Ray Garcia’s modern take on regional Mexican cuisine, and Starlight on 66, an elegant lounge with handcrafted cocktails, globally inspired small plates, and a view from the 66th floor.
Fun Day Trips Away From the Strip
There’s plenty to do on the Strip, but it’s worth venturing elsewhere if you have the time. Here are our favorite things to do near Las Vegas.
Visit the Hoover Dam
About 36 miles away from the Entertainment Capital sits Hoover Dam, making it the perfect day trip from Las Vegas by car. The dam is just one option for what the locals have nicknamed a Neon to Nature road trip3.
This massive structure is an engineering marvel and a great educational opportunity for the kids and curious adults alike. Discover how it tamed the Colorado River, provides water to more than 16 million people, irrigates over 1.5 million acres of land, and generates enough energy to power hundreds of thousands of homes4.
Tour the Grand Canyon
Just like Hoover Dam, Arizona’s Grand Canyon is a car trip away from Las Vegas. In fact, you can even stop to visit the dam on your way into Kingman, AZ5. There are many Grand Canyon tours, most of which can pick you up from your resort or hotel in Las Vegas. Alternatively, you can rent a car and plan your own itinerary.
The Grand Canyon’s West Rim is closest to the Hoover Dam. Owned by the Hualapai Tribe, this rim features the famous glass-bottom Skywalk6. The South Rim is the official Grand Canyon National Park and is farther away7, but it has plenty of hiking trails for the adventurous Funjetter. Both offer stunning scenic views and a chance to connect with the natural wonders of the West.
