Editor’s Note: Today’s post is a special treat, a compilation of recommended Las Vegas attractions recommended by city resident and travel enthusiast, Heather Foeh, Head of Culture and Customer Advocacy at Lattice Engines.
Las Vegas, known to most as Sin City, is also home to some of the world’s most exciting scenic attractions, as well as uniquely themed casinos and night life that can’t be found anywhere else.
This year’s Modern Marketing Experience event takes place in Vegas, where modern marketers will come together to learn and share success stories. The event also will offer a moderated Q&A with actor/director James Franco, and a musical performance by One Republic.
While you’re here, enjoy the finest the city has to offer!
Check out the newly revitalized Downtown Las Vegas. Sure, there are some casinos down there that have better rates for table games than the Strip, but there also are some hidden gems in funky bars and restaurants found in Fremont East. A few of my faves:
The Downtown Cocktail Room, for a bit of a speakeasy feel!
The Gold Spike, a fun place to socialize, hang out and play games in living room and backyard settings.
The Container Park, a unique venue built from shipping containers where you can find a giant praying mantis that made its debut at Burning Man and now comes alive here each night. While you’re there, check out my favorite restaurant, The Perch.
If you have a car and a few hours to spare, take a drive through Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It’s so unique and beautiful and there are great stopping points along the way for mini hikes or photos. Even if you don’t have a car, you can take a tour with one of the tour companies in town like Pink Jeep.
And if you’re a museum person, here are two good ones:
The National Atomic Testing Museum – we’re only an hour away from Area 51 and in the days of testing you could see mushroom clouds from Las Vegas!
The Mob Museum – plenty of history here!
If you’re looking to take in a show while you’re in town, I recommend Absinthe. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life as I did at this show. There’s not a bad seat in the house and you’re so close to the action that their feats of acrobatics are even more impressive. Disclaimer: This is a very adult show and if you attend with your co-workers you have the potential to be embarrassed. Don’t say I didn’t warn you… If that makes you nervous, go see Le Reve instead. It’s utterly stunning and magical.
Enjoy the event, the city, and follow the hashtag #MME15 for more show and area updates! Tell us, where do you plan to spend your downtime in Vegas?
