Hoover Dam, located 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas,
is a wildly popular destination for Las Vegas locals
and visitors. The dam is one of the most impressive
engineering feats in the world.
Hoover Dam is 727 feet high, 1,244 feet long, 660 feet
thick at the base, and 45 feet thick at the crest. It
weighs 6.6 million tons and contains 3.2 million cubic
yards of concrete. Two spillways, one on each side of
the canyon, protect the dam and powerhouse from
overflow and are each large enough to float the
greatest battleship.

Easily the most ambitious water feature ever
conceived, Bellagio's world-famous fountains command
the attention of the Strip as they spring to life and
dance to the strains of some of the world's best
music. More than forty different shows have been
choreographed for the synchronized fountains. These
include routines to Broadway favorites, Sinatra
standards, patriotic melodies, and opera classics.
Don't miss the dancing
fountains at Bellagio, one of the most spectacular and
memorable sights in Las Vegas! It's free, and
supremely unforgettable!

Red Rock Canyon is a scenic diversion from the glitter
of Las Vegas. Located 17 miles west of the Strip, it
receives nearly 1.2 million visitors every year.
As the sun moves across the sky, the light changes,
and so do the colors of Red Rock Canyon. Each turn
delivers a new adventure. Check out petrified sand
dunes, waterfalls, and red-tailed hawks circling
above. This 197,000 acre area provides a beautiful
13-mile scenic drive.

Every night, a volcanic inferno spews fireballs 100
feet in the air. Located
at the heart of the Strip, the Mirage's lagoon is
permanent home to an eruption more dependable than Old
Faithful. A technical marvel, this recreation of
nature's fury starts blowing its stack at 7:00 PM and
continues to do so every 15 minutes until midnight.
Each "performance" tends to draw a crowd, so arriving
at the end of the previous eruption is recommended if
you want a place at the railing.
