Nocturnal Tours Party Bus

Explore three distinct facets of Las Vegas nightlife, including a premier bar, an upscale nightclub and a renowned strip club, all while indulging in two modes of luxurious Vegas-style transportation. Start your evening at one of the trendiest bars, where you can savor special drink offers. Afterward, step aboard the open-bar party bus, complete with complimentary beverages, as it transports you to the next destination – a popular nightclub hotspot. Following your nightclub experience, transition to the luxurious limousine for a stylish journey to one of Sin City's finest strip clubs, such as the Hustler Club.

Gunship Helicopters

Embark on a truly unique adventure in Las Vegas, situated just a 45-minute drive south of the famous Las Vegas Strip, in the picturesque Sandy Valley. Climb aboard an open-door A-Star helicopter and immerse yourself in the thrilling sensation of flying through the sky with the wind in your face. Get ready to release a burst of excitement as you take aim and fire a M249 SAW machine gun at an array of targets nestled amid rugged mountain terrain.

It boasts oversized dice, a colossal martini glass, a vibrant pink flamingo, giant coins, video reels, a massive arm and even two dazzling showgirls, all iconic symbols of Las Vegas.

Gunblast Las Vegas

Nestled in the heart of the desert, a four-hour drive away from the bustling chaos of the renowned Las Vegas Strip, GunBlast Vegas presents a unique experience. Here, you can not only fire some of the most impressive firearms available but also receive expert instruction from real firearm instructors. Your shooting adventure will feature a diverse selection of firearms, including a 9mm handgun, an AR15, an assault rifle and even an exotic shotgun.

An adrenaline-pumping, scream-inducing, open-air plunge from a staggering 829-foot height above the vibrant neon-lit Las Vegas Strip. This daring adventure for the fearless, has earned a prestigious Guinness World Record as the loftiest commercial decelerator descent facility. As you hurtle toward the landing pad at speeds exceeding 40 mph, you'll elicit gasps and applause from the spectators below.

Madame Tussauds

Known as "The World's Greatest Wax Museum," it provides a complete immersion in the world of your beloved actors, athletes, singers, rappers, and iconic pop culture personalities. Immerse yourself in exceptional experiences that are exclusively available here. Whether you're seeking unconventional activities in Vegas, options for couples in Las Vegas, family-friendly attractions or anything in between.

Hideaway Pool

Exclusive to Topgolf Las Vegas, the pool area boasts a swim-up bar and an expansive poolside screen, making it truly one-of-a-kind. During the summer months, you can look forward to a variety of special events and live entertainment. Whether you want to cool off by the pool before or after your gaming session, it's open to all those aged 21 and above, with no entry fee. For the ultimate VIP treatment, consider renting a cabana that offers comprehensive food and beverage service right at the poolside.

Seven Magic Mountains

The Nevada Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Art Production Fund, curated the creation of Seven Magic Mountains. This captivating exhibition officially debuted on May 11, 2016, with an initial plan to remain on display for two years. However, due to its overwhelming popularity since its beginning, the renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, who conceived the project, expressed a strong desire to explore ways of keeping this remarkable artwork in its current location. Situated near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, about ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada, Seven Magic Mountains is a monumental site-specific public art installation. It consists of seven towering structures crafted from vividly colored, stacked boulders, each reaching a towering height of over thirty feet.
