Fremont Street Experience

Six light and sound shows, Heartbeat of a Planet , Las Vegas Legends , Dancing in the Street , Odyssey , Kickin’ Country , and Classic Rock appear overhead on the hour until midnight in the arcade. There are street performers and live music on mobile stages, too.
Games of the Gods

Also known as Segaworld, this is a favorite with local teenagers, for its virtual racing cars, flight simulators, and other tests of coordination; there are games for younger children, too.
Gameworks

Perhaps the noisiest place in town, Gameworks occupies a vast space on the lower level of the Showcase Mall, and offers more than 250 games as well as a restaurant and climbing wall.
Glitter Gulch Entertainment

Pair your subject with a celebrity impersonator, who will be pleased to pose for a tip.
Golden Gate Hotdogs

All-beef frankfurters piled high with sauerkraut are served from a vendor cart in the casino’s sports book (the lounge where people bet on sporting events). The hotdogs cost 75 cents.
Golden Gate Shrimp Cocktails

For years, fresh shrimp cocktails have been the loss leader at the Golden Gate – they have sold 35 million so far. The cost: $1.
Guardian Angel Cathedral

Just steps away from the dazzling, bustling Strip, the Roman Catholic cathedral is refreshingly spartan. The giant triangular mosaic decorating the façade depicts a guardian angel and three figures representing Penance, Prayer, and – perhaps most elusive of all – Peace.
Hard Rock Hotel Swimming Pool

Best taken from a hotel room to get the pool’s guitar shape.
High Roller Roller Coaster

This is one of two Stratosphere thrill rides that are a dizzying 100 storys above the Strip.
Hot-air Balloon Ceremonies

A hot-air balloon company and The Little White Chapel collaborate to provide airborne weddings. The balloon hovers above the Las Vegas neon while the nuptial knot is tied.
