Machines that date back to a little after 1895 – when Charles Fey invented the very first slot machine, The Liberty Bell – occasionally appear on the auction block. Designs range from high Victoriana to Art Deco, and the rarer antique models can cost several thousand dollars.

Named for the Roman baths and settlement at what is now Bath, England, this luxurious spa’s traditions are rooted in the benefits of ritual bathing and body treatments.

Bellagio’s two chapels provide some of the most elegant and romantic wedding venues in Las Vegas.

Located on the world’s tallest observation tower, the Big Shot shoots riders 160 ft (50 m) into the air. They then freefall back to the launch pad. It’s not a ride for the faint-hearted, or for kids – fortunately for them, though, there’s a child-size version of Big Shot at Stratosphere.

Las Vegas bookstores carry a large assortment of publications on the locale, including The Nevada Trivia Book by Richard Moreno, A Short History of Las Vegas by Myrick and Barbara Land, and several about slot machines by Marshall Fey (grandson of the inventor of the first slot machine). For fiction, try Sweet Promised Land or A Cup of Tea in Pamplona by the late Basque-American writer, Robert Laxalt.

A. J. Hackett Bunjy (the premises are next to Circus Circus) has been in business 12 years with a reassuring 100 percent safety record. Jumpers go by elevator to the top of a (very) high tower, get strapped into safety harnesses, take a numbing look at the Strip 175 ft (53 m) below, and – well, jump.
