The Bellagio Hotel is famous for its large fountains and man-made lake. People visiting Las Vegas should set aside some time to see the Bellagio Fountain Dance at least once during their visit. The fountains at the Bellagio are synchronized to music and programmed to perform different patterns along with the music. There is no cost to see the fountain dance, and the shows happen every day between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and midnight Monday through Friday, and from noon to midnight on Saturday and Sunday.

The Stratosphere is a casino and hotel in Las Vegas, but it also doubles as a sightseeing attraction as well. It is one of the tallest buildings on the Las Vegas strip. At the top of the Stratosphere is a rollercoaster that is attached to the outside of the building and takes you on a few laps around the Stratosphere, above Las Vegas. On the roof of the building is another amusement ride that shoots you straight to the top of the needle on the roof of the Stratosphere and then slowly lets you glide back down to the roof. The views from both the rollercoaster and the needle ride allow you to see all of Las Vegas.
