The likes of Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack, Louis Prima, Elvis Presley and many other legends have spent copious amounts of time living it up in Las Vegas and gracing the various stages in this iconic city.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for things to do in Las Vegas? Other than having the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/las-vegas\/flights\">best flight deals available<\/a>, we\u2019ll give you 6!<\/p>\n<h2>1.

A visit here is definitely one of the more memorable things to do in Las Vegas. This cellar turned museum houses over 10,000 bottles of wine, the oldest of which dates back to the year 1800. Patrons tend to enjoy peeking into cabernets to read the interesting labels way more than the actual tastings. Notable wines include Thomas Jefferson\u2019s 1800 Madeira, a Chateau d\u2019 Yquem collection spanning from 1855 \u2013 1990, Joseph Phelps\u2019 Insignia collection dates 1990 \u2013 2005, as well as the more valuable Opus One Library collection from the same period. Are you a wine lover? We think a day-drinking trip is exactly what the doctor ordered!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3.

If you feel like getting closer to the gorgeous rock formations, feel free to choose from 26 hiking trails ranging from short and easy to longer hikes for those of great fitness prowess. We recommend starting off with the Calico Hills trail as it starts off going downhill before meandering through larger red and orange rocks that make for priceless pictures and memories. The<strong> Calico Hills<\/strong> trail and great for kids as well so make a day trip of it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6.

The longstanding Las Vegas wedding tradition is a perfectly entertaining way to wind down your trip. Fancy being married by an Elvis Presley impersonator? No? That\u2019s okay. There\u2019s still plenty to do in and around Las Vegas wedding chapels. You can witness other couples tying the knot, be entertained by very good Elvis Presley impersonators, grab a bite and a drink at one of the many surrounding eateries and laugh about the over-the-top love proclamations that will inevitably greet your eyes and ears.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That, folks, is why a trip to Las Vegas is an absolute must for those looking to experience the forefront of entertainment, food and luxurious indulgence. At this point, you should be just about ready to book that flight and head for the proverbial \u201cVegas stint\u201d. There are only two things left to remember.
