When you think about Vegas what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the Las Vegas strip, casinos, or nightlife? If you thought about any of these answers, you may not have experienced the “real” Las Vegas.

The city is so much more than its popular strip, though there is nothing wrong with spending your trip there. Here are a few other attractions waiting for you in Sin City.

Visit the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a 5-hour drive from Las Vegas. However, you can try a helicopter ride from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. This is an experience you will never forget.

Head to Exotic Racing to drive a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Aston Martin without any speed limits. Your adrenaline will surely rush with this one.

Up, Up & Away

Jump in a hot air ballon to float over the Vegas  Strip and Red Rock Mountains. It goes to show you how quickly Vegas can turn from a party city to a scenic mountain oasis. Just pray that the weather is cooperating during your visit.
