What Can You Do In Las Vegas If You're Not 21?

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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
