what's going on everybody this island hopper tv and today we're going to talk about the adult
disneyland las vegas nevada let's do it just some quick facts about las vegas also known as vegas
it is the 28th largest city in the united states known as sin city believe it or not you already
knew that i know but hey i felt like saying it anyway it's actually closer to the grand canyon
than phoenix arizona is even though the grand canyon is in arizona first up on the list is
going to be walking around the strip also known as las vegas boulevard this is really where
vegas made a name for itself with some of the classic hotels like the sands the flamingo
the strip is home to some of the largest hotel resort casinos in all of the world right here
in las vegas on the strip now the strip itself is about 4.2 miles long and it does have a great deal
of history having been founded in 1932 when it really began to boom in the 1940s las vegas took
off as a gambling hub when organized crime cartels set up their outfits here in las vegas nowadays
you can cruise up and down the strip and you'll see lots of people watching going on entertainers
street shows that you can see and you can even drink on the strip here with an open container
las vegas is very walking friendly here on the strip and you can go from hotel casino
to hotel casino very easily if you need to catch transportation a taxi and uber or bus
they're all here also right here on the strip just after sunset look how lit up this place is
all the way down you've got the uh polo towers and the mgm behind me and then you look right down
here you got the paris you've got the flamingo the venetian and we're headed in that direction
i've been to vegas at least 15 to 20 times i can't quite remember how many
but i do know that i have some select few hotels that are my favorite so if you guys are looking
forward to knowing the best hotels best bang for your buck best value best quality you're going to
want to subscribe to this channel and watch our video about the top hotels in las vegas
in particular right here on the strip that video will be coming up
as you can see it's quite obvious you will probably spend some time right here on the
strip in las vegas when you come out to vegas now what else is there to do around vegas that's what
we're about to show you and i would have to say you're gonna have to bump shopping up to
the top of the list yes guys your lady is going to want to do some shopping and so are you it's
just likely to happen out here so many malls so many cool shopping malls and stores to check out
it's really hard to pick just one but if i had to pick one it would be the shops
at the crystals now the miracle mile across the street's pretty good also
and there are a couple malls along the strip like i said but the shops at crystal are an experience
all in a league of its own and it's right next to the cosmopolitan and aria hotel
now that you've picked out a nice pair of clothes to wear for the evening or what have you why don't
you head out and take a look at the bellagio water fountain show now this show only lasts for
seven to ten minutes but at the evening show just after sunset that's the one you're going to want
to catch if you want the nice colors but it does start going at around 7 p.m to 10 p.m i believe
it's every hour on the hour and the water just dances to the music so that's pretty cool isn't it
i would have to say this dancing water show is probably a must-see or something
that you're almost guaranteed to see when you come to las vegas on the strip
and after you take in the show you can head right across the street to the link
where they have the high roller ferris wheel now this high roller ferris wheel is
quite the uh structure i'll say that you have these big bubble uh ferris wheel
seating arrangements that you can get in these capsules and the ferris wheel once you get up
to it you're like wow that's one of the biggest ferris wheels i've ever seen it's not like one
of your fair carnival ferris wheels let's just say that but here at the link you can
do zip lining and do some shopping hang out at a bar grab a drink that's all here at the link
the link is new so you might not recognize this place if it's been a while since you've
been down to the strip they do have an ice bar uh you can see it's a really nice place to come
in the evening time now in the daytime especially
in the summertime it's going to be pretty hot down here so uh do keep that in mind
now i told you guys about shows and we just showed you the bellagio but there's another one that's
still going for many years as it stands and it's actually still one of my favorite things to see
the mirage fire volcano show and boy oh boy do they put on a great show here kids love this
i personally love it it's something that you will not want to miss and if you were to compare
the mirage show against the water show
at the bellagio i might just rank this one as a higher priority to actually see
now for this one we head over to the miracle mile where they have a really cool bartender
it's a tipsy robot this here robot makes your drink here's the tipsy robot they actually serve
uh shots and whatnot with those robotic machines over there you can see here i am plugging in my
drink order into this computer tablet and then once i've paid it automatically begins
going to work by draining out the alcohol and making the perfect concoction of booze
and at the very least you gotta watch as these uh artificial intelligence futuristic robots
go to town making your drink and hey i thought it turned out pretty good check this out and
guess who's back on the list again the bellagio this time with the photogenic botanical garden
inside the bellagio hotel and casino and you could see this is a really photogenic exhibit isn't it
although i think the kids will like it i would have to say this is more of an aesthetic for
adults and they have a chocolate fountain nearby which is actually in the guinness
book of world records and it's certified they have the certificate right there to prove it
now heading all the way south on the strip to the end is the mandalay bay where they have a
really nice pool beach area with the lazy river and they have the shark reef aquarium uh you
do need to get a reservation ahead of time to visit this but hey shark reef aquarium is pretty
cool
next up we're headed to the uh siegfried and roy secret garden at the mirage all right we're gonna
go ahead and go in here to the secret roy secret garden and dolphin habitat it's 25 per person
yeah so as it turns out if you uh are a veteran you actually
don't have to pay 25 you pay 20. so instead of two people for 50 two people for 40.
i would have to say this one's definitely for the kids especially watching the dolphins
interact with the trainers you see they do a lot of different stunts with these dolphins
and they also have an underwater viewing area if you missed the show you can just go under this
aquarium here and watch from the underwater viewing area if this is your first time to
islandhopper tv you can subscribe and keep up with us as we continue to show you guys
around the world after you're done watching the dolphins you can head over and check out the big
cats now they do have siberian tigers they have bengal tigers they have a lion a leopard and i
believe a black panther all really beautiful cats that people like to come check out here
so once you've checked out the animals over at the mirage you
can then head caddy corner across the street to the lake of dreams which is
at the wynn hotel now the whole wind hotel including the encore is really a special place
in and of itself just because of the way they've done the decoration but the lake of dreams is
definitely considered one of the top things to check out at the wynn hotel and on the strip
right next door to the wind is actually the venetian where you can take a gondola
ride just as if you were in venice italy the water here is a lot cleaner
if you can see it's crystal clear but it's gonna be a little bit hotter and drier and not quite
as amazing and historical but still something romantic for a couple or maybe even a family to do
and once you've got your fill here on the las vegas strip you can now head over to downtown
which is where fremont street is and this is a whole other world of exciting things to check out
as you'll see this is actually the world's largest roof that actually changes with animations all up
along the top here now they do have lots of music playing street performers it's really crowded down
here too but you can get cheap food i noticed the steaks down here were 13.99 whereas on the strip
they were about 55.99 for just a regular steak so a little bit more affordable out here on fremont
street they do have a couple other hotels that you'll want to check out including a new one
uh and they have the golden nugget and several others like that
oh how could i forget a new one's called the circa
so this whole area is called the fremont experience and there you can see
a look at the circa right there on the right
if you guys are enjoying this video you can also like the video and subscribe to the channel as you
can see fremont street is really pleasing on the eyes they do have a couple other things down here
off the fremont street experience that you want to check out like the container village and some art
now if you thought that i was done with the miracle mile you're wrong because here we go
so here we are in front of the miracle mile shops outside of planet hollywood if you
look right over here you can see uh beautiful bellagio and the cosmopolitan across the street
as you guys know it gets really hot out here in las vegas so
when it's the middle of summer july august maybe even september you're going to want to
be indoors and you're going to be really grateful that the planet in hollywood is right next to
this miracle mile and it's air conditioning air conditioning the stores this is a place
you want to hang out during the heat of the summer thankfully las vegas does have
a very uh big indoor experience and environment as well as the pools but i would say that a mall like
the miracle mile and some of these other indoor places in las vegas during the summer are very
well received and welcomed by the patrons so look how beautiful it is on that note that's going to
conclude this episode of island hopper tv from las vegas things to do hope you guys enjoyed
this tour around las vegas we've got a couple other videos on las vegas and other places around
the country mexico you name it watch some of these other videos and we'll see on the next one
