  • Create your own version of Camelot by renting period costumes and tying the knot in one of Excalibur’s two medieval-style chapels. Vow-renewal services are also on offer for the already-wed.

  • At the Circus Circus theme park are some fun rides: try the water-flume ride through rushing water called the Rim Runner, and Twist and Shout, which involves riding rubber rafts through twisting tubes. The most exciting is Canyon Blaster billed as “the only double-loop, double-corkscrew indoor roller coaster.”

  • Residents at the Venetian can enjoy the 100-plus spa services, including movement therapy, Watsu pools, and 20 different styles of massage. The huge facility is also open to non-residents Sunday through Thursday, as is the Canyon Ranch restaurant.

  • The ultimate item to bring home from a Las Vegas trip has got to be several suitcases of hard cash. Although there are more losers than winners at the slot machines, roulette wheels, and gaming tables, visitors occasionally hit big jackpots, such as those on Megabucks and Quartermania machines, netting them huge sums of money.

  • This traditional Episcopal church is the closest one to the Strip. Bear in mind that churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada require pre-nuptial meetings with the church’s rector before a wedding can be performed.

  • Coney Island Emporium

    Try out Big Apple-themed versions of traditional games such as coin pitches and shooting galleries, with New York-style food close at hand.

  • Pile into a pedicab with your friends and have a passerby snap the shutter.

  • Dice-Decorated Clocks

    Made of bright blue lucite, glittery gold plexiglass, brass, wood burls, or any other material known to man, these clocks – with dice marking the hours – fall into the genre of Las Vegas kitsch. Other tacky items include toilet seats inlaid with playing cards and poker chips, and tissue box covers with gaming motifs.

  • Although he didn’t make much of a hit when he first appeared in Las Vegas in 1956, Elvis Presley has since been firmly associated with the Entertainment Capital of the World. Your career as an Elvis impersonator could start here, with a pair of these sunglasses and sideburns.

  • Traditional carnival attractions take on a new excitement with medieval knights racing around on their steeds.
