4. Volcano at The Mirage
A 54 ft artificial volcano that “erupts” with flames and smoke, complete with molten lava flowing down its sides. The heat from the 100 ft flames can even be felt from across the street! Be sure to get there early for a spot by the railings, shows are hourly and attract large crowds. |
5. Million Dollar Photo at Binion’s
Ever wanted to see what $1,000,000 in cash looks like? At Binion’s they have a permanent display of the cash and it won’t cost you anything to have a souvenir photo taken with it. |

7. Las Vegas Sign – The world’s most recognized iconic sign is located just south of Mandalay Bay. It stands on the median of the boulevard and has a mini parking lot. Get your photo taken here for the ultimate Las Vegas souvenir! |
