Jaleo is a tapas restaurant by Spanish chef José Andrés located at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. It features several traditional tapas dishes with a creative twist by the award-winning chef.
The Bellagio features a spectacle unlike any other on the Las Vegas Strip. Watching the dancing fountain spray water over 1,000 feet into the air, beautifully choreographed to music, is a must-see when visiting Vegas. Every show is different, so when you’re walking past the Bellagio and a crowd is gathering, find a good spot and enjoy!
When visiting Las Vegas, you can dine at some of the best restaurants in the world but be prepared to make reservations well ahead of your trip.

What can I say about Las Vegas that hasn’t already been said? With its rise from small desert outpost to mafia gambling center to the entertainment capital of the world, this city of bright lights and nonstop action wows everyone that sets foot on the iconic Strip.

Located on the border of California and Nevada, Primm offers the first casinos for those traveling into Nevada (or the last casinos for those leaving).
Beatty is a small town a couple hours northwest of Las Vegas. As the eastern gateway to Death Valley National Park and decent accommodation options, it makes a good base for visiting the park. There are some Wild West style buildings and a couple minor attractions in town as well as places to get fuel and supplies.
The Mob Museum in Las Vegas is one of the most intriguing museums I’ve ever visited. Located in the former federal courthouse in downtown Vegas two blocks from Fremont Street, the museum tells the story of organized crime in America.
