Things to do in Las Vegas Without Gambling
Author: Steven Smithies
What to do in Las Vegas, lets see... The Adventure Dome at Circus Circus. There they have The Canyon Blaster, the only indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster on the planet, Chaos, a three-dimensional tilt-a-whirl, tilting, spinning, and flipping all at the same time. The Inverter keeps you upside-down and staring at an upcoming wall of concrete for a full four seconds before turning you right side up again. Rim Runner is the only indoor water flume in the world dropping you 60-foot and will soak you good. And then they have the Sling Shot, which shoots you straight up a column at 4 G's.
The New York New York has a really cool roller coaster called the Manhattan Express that lasts two minutes and 45 seconds; it's the longest-lasting ride in Las Vegas. It has an insane 540-degree spiral, a 144-foot drop and runs at 67 MPH.
The Sahara has a roller coaster the call Speed. You will be catapulted from the launch area at 35 mph around the first curve and plummet through a mist-filled tunnel 25-feet below ground and then through a 72-foot loop, running about 70 mph, and speed through the Sahara's marquee sign to the top of a 224-foot tower. They then do it all again... backwards. This ride will last about 45 seconds.
Then if that is not enough for you, you can go to The Stratosphere Towers, which stands about 1000 feet off the ground. It has three rides at the very top and ALL are VERY scary! The Insanity is a spinning ride that dangles you over the edge. (1000 feet in the air!). The X Scream, this one is a seesaw thingy that dangles you over the edge. (1000 feet in the air!). Then there is the Big Shot, You are strapped into a chair with your legs dangling, and they shoot you straight up the tower's steeple, 160 feet in two seconds, at four G's. Then they free-fall you so you get negative G's, then shoot you up again, (1/5th of a mile in the air!).
And then for nighttime entertainment you need to go to Fremont Street Experience. That is downtown in the old part of Vegas on Fremont Street. You have all the casinos, like an open mall type atmosphere with kiosks and entertainment. Some weekends they will have two or three stages set up where different bands will be playing. Then there is the world largest television. The canopy that covers the entire street from casino to casino and about four or five blocks longs will play some really awesome stuff about every hour.
Hope that helps you out. Have a good time.
