The Neon Museum
If you want to experience the sights of the Las Vegas strip in the comfort of an air conditioned building, head to the Neon Museum. It contains a history of Vegas in the form of neon signs, and is also home to special exhibits including stargazing and Lost Vegas: Tim Burton.
Depending on when you visit the Neon Museum, you can experience a variety of different events to complement the collection of more than 200 neon signs on display. You can also explore curated displays of matchbooks, postcards, casino chips and more.
Fly LINQ
The LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas features a unique way to see the city: ziplining! Choose to take a seat, fly like superman or zip backwards over the city’s skyline. From 11am – 1am daily, Vegas visitors can strap in to experience four different ways to fly over the LINQ Promenade at 12 stories up. Advance reservations are recommended for Fly LINQ, and groups up to ten in number can fly at the same time.
