5 must-see stops at Las Vegas’ Bellagio

Monday, July 19th, 2010

By Maria Mora

BellagioIt’s easy to get overwhelmed when trying to choose between Las Vegas hotels, each with their own unique attractions. For me, the choice is simple — I adore the Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas. As soon as you walk into this upscale hotel, you feel like you’ve traveled across the world to a decadent European destination.

While the little details like flat screen TVs in the guest rooms certainly add to the experience, it’s the flashy attractions that really get me. Even though it snowed last time I was in Vegas, I stood outside for an hour to get a close-up look at a few performances by one of the most reliable Sin City entertainers — the fountain at the Bellagio. My husband took pictures of me grinning like a loon in front of the cascade of dancing light and water.

Once you get past this stunning water show, there’s still plenty to do. Here are my top 5 must-do activities when visiting the Bellagio:

Hot August Nights in Reno, NV. Credit: RickC.

By Jennifer Nielsen

Love classic cars, sock hops and rock ‘n roll? If so, don’t miss out on Reno’s biggest event of the year, Hot August Nights. Hands down the coolest way to check out classic cars from the 50’s and 60’s, this year’s festivities will take place from July 30 to August 8.  The events will kick off from South Lake Tahoe, the first time since its start in 1986. There’s a variety of events to choose from, including concerts, classic car parades, auctions and swap meets. Though some of the events require tickets (be sure to book ahead of time), many of them are free. Be sure to pack your sunscreen and sunglasses — it isn’t called “Hot August Nights” just because of the hot rods. (more…)
