Top 13+ Things to Do in Las Vegas That Don’t Involve Casinos
Cirque du Soleil
Canadian entertainment company Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun) has been bringing big smiles to spectators' faces for more than 20 years in Las Vegas. The performers have a number of new shows—such as The Beatles LOVE, Michael Jackson ONE, and Zumanity—helping them bring their unique brand of theatrics and acrobatics to new audiences. A partnership with Criss Angel Mindfreak, an illusionist whose demonstrations of magic and wonder—like levitating a grown man—makes for mind-blowing theater.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of the few motor speedways in the country that allows guests to rent an exotic supercar, including a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche, and race it around the track itself. The call it Exotics Racing. Visitors may also drive a NASCAR race car. The motor speedway also offers racing classes, ride-alongs, and other VIP experiences, should you feel the need for speed. The motor speedway is also the home of many NASCAR events throughout the year.
Mob Museum
The Mob Museum—or the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement—is a unique Las Vegas attraction that first opened its doors in 2012. With exhibits and artifacts from the "Sin City" era, when Vegas was built and organized crime ruled supreme it tells the story from all points of view—from mobsters to law enforcement officers to the workers in the glamorous casinos. Theater presentations are designed to completely immerse guests. Want to know more about true crime? Don't miss 12 things you never knew about the historic "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign.
