Sights are grouped according to Michelin’s time-honored star-rating system, which for more than 100 years has guided travelers to the best a place has to offer:
The "absolutelys" ***, the famous sights you should not miss in Las Vegas The "should sees" **, sights you should make a real effort to see The "must sees" *, musts when your time permits
Hit the highlights if you have only one day in Vegas:
Morning Get your bearings by taking a stroll along The Strip***. The monorail system makes it easy to visit the big casino hotels such as Bellagio***, The Venetian*** and Wynn Las Vegas***.
Afternoon Have lunch and shop along the Strip, from the vast Forum Shops at Caesars Palace** to the Grand Canal Shoppes* at The Venetian to tony Fashion Show Mall.
Evening Treat yourself to a dinner and a Cirque du Soleil** show at either Treasure Island (Mystère), MGM Grand (KÀ) or Bellagio (O).
. . . and if you have a second day:
Morning Visit a museum; choices range from the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art** to the Liberace Museum. Then treat the kids or yourself to a thrill ride at Stratosphere Tower*, where you can dangle hundreds of feet over the Strip.
Afternoon Take a hike. Just 20 minutes from the Strip you ll find the starkly beautiful, silent sands of Red Rock Canyon** and plenty of well-marked trails for exploring.
Evening Sample one of the myriad dinner buffets, then take in a free spectacle, such as the Bellagio fountains**, Sirens at TI* or the Mirage volcano*. Afterwards, check out the late-night club scene.
If time permits, try these quintessentially Las Vegas things to do:
Learn to play the right way. Take a gaming class in blackjack, pai gow, poker, craps, even baccarat. Most hotel casinos offer these at low-density hours like 10am.
Get married. Or restate your vows. Who can resist saying "I do" with "Elvis" presiding?
See a classic Vegas showgirl revue, complete with Busby Berkeley-style headdresses, and a bevy of leggy lovelies.
Eat, eat, eat. Las Vegas is the nation s new epicenter for gourmet dining. And don t forget about the abundant all-you-can-eat buffets in town.
Pick a pool. Whether lush jungle hideaways, steamy poolside parties, Roman luxury soaks or floating blackjack games, Las Vegas has a fantasy pool setting for you.
