Las Vegas Hotel Attractions

Las Vegas Hotel Attractions
Las Vegas hotels are truly unique. The hotels here have the standard luxury amenities such as whirlpool tubs, king-size beds and fully equipped kitchens, but they also feature casinos, extravagant swimming pools and magnificent attractions. If you are planning a visit to Las Vegas, you might choose your hotel based on the unique attractions found within, like the fountains at Caesars Palace and Bellagio, the gondola rides at The Venetian, the lion shows at MGM or the Shark Reef aquarium at Mandalay Bay.

Wynn Las Vegas Golf Club

The most important attraction for golfers at Wynn Las Vegas is the Wynn Las Vegas Golf Club located on the property. The cost of playing is not for the faint of heart and it is important to keep in mind that only guests of the hotel are allowed to play.

The exclusivity and the price have much to do with the fact that the rolling elevation of this Tom Fazio-designed course was created over what used to be flat desert terrain. In fact, the Wynn Golf Club is very much an oasis. You will find a four-story-high waterfall behind which you can drive a golf cart. There over 1,200 trees and many more plants. The entire is course is immaculately maintained.

Circus Circus Adventuredome

One of the best family-friendly Vegas hotel attractions is the Adventuredome. This indoor theme park is found at the Circus Circus hotel and casino. This climate-controlled dome is one of the best places in Las Vegas to escape the punishing heat in the middle of summer as well as the often surprisingly cold winters of Sin City.

The bright pink exterior of the dome is hard to miss in its location directly behind the hotel. Inside is a genuine theme park that contains popular rides like the Canyon Blaster rollercoaster that sends riders along at 55 mph and the state-of-the-art 4-D attraction that stars Marvin the Martian from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. Attractions are geared for those who enjoy thrill rides as well as tamer activities for smaller children.

Sahara Hote Cyber Speedway

The Sahara hotel in Las Vegas offers a racecar attraction for when you get tired of puttering around in a golf cart and want to experience flat-out speed. The Cyber Speedway features vehicles nearly as large as an authentic NASCAR or Indy-style racecars that are mounted on a hydraulic base to fully recreate the racing experience.

Customize the feel of the car by choosing automatic or stick transmission as well as several other performance aspects including braking and spoilers. All of this is placed in front of a 20-foot-long wraparound screen onto which is projected the Las Vegas Speedway, where you are placed in the middle of frenzied high-octane competition.

The ultimate goal of all this technology is to give you the very realistic sensation of being behind the wheel of a racing vehicle flying at speeds up to 220 mph. So realistic is this unique Vegas hotel attraction that those prone to motion sickness may want to seriously consider taking a pass.
