If you’re under 21 in Las Vegas it really can be a sad and frustrating place. Tell anyone working in Vegas that you aren't 21 and they’ll treat you like a child, as you are basically not legal to do anything there that will make them money! I do still quite enjoy going to Las Vegas because it is filled with entertainment and pleasure. Here is a list of my Top 5 things you can do, especially if you are under the age of 21 in Vegas:
1. See a show.
I just recently saw Absinthe, and it might just be my favorite show in Vegas! It’s an adult show that has a little bit of everything for everyone: shock value humor, cirque acts, singing, and dancing. My favorite act of all is the roller skating duo, Billy and Emily, as they are known from Britain’s Got Talent. Go see it, it’s worth it!
2. Walk the strip.
Everywhere you look Las Vegas has entertainment, even if it’s the people on the streets. There are street performers everywhere you turn and I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one person comes up to talk to you. It’s tempting to say yes but don’t be surprised if a club promoter comes up to you offering a free VIP entrance with drinks on the side! Your time will come.
3. Window-shop.
The most exquisite stores in the world are among the strip. The Fashion Show Mall is always fun because the place is ridiculously huge with almost every store you can imagine! The Venetian is also a really fun place because among the shops the inside looks like real places in Italy. You can even go on a gondola ride and have a gondolier sing to you!
4. Ride a rollercoaster and be a daredevil!
So there are a few places you can go… The New York New York has a huge rollercoaster surrounding the hotel and even goes inside it that’s super fun and even flips you in a loop a couple of times. It’s very off the strip, but still in Nevada, is the old rickety roller coaster at Buffalo Bill’s. I have never been on it, but every time I enter the state of Nevada, I’m tempted to stop and ride it! Lastly, my favorite is the Stratosphere Tower. It offers three thrilling rides that is definitely worth your money. Two out of the three rides dangles you over the hotel that is 900 feet high. For thrill seekers, it totally satisfies your adrenaline needs.
5. Eat amazing food.
I don’t know where to begin! I obviously haven’t tried every restaurant in Vegas, but almost anywhere the food is amazing. From all you can eat buffets to five star meals, they got it! I would have to say my favorite restaurant so far is quite pricey, but so mouthwateringly delicious is the Palms restaurant, Nove Italiano. I ended up just ordering sides/bar food that are incredibly tasty! Their buttery mashed potatoes are to die for and you know they make their raviolis from scratch!
Enjoy the age you are and soon, your time will come.
