In-Room Video Games

Most major Strip hotels will rent or loan video-game equipment to guests with children. Since by law no child under the age of 12 should be left unsupervised in a game arcade (and there is also a curfew for under-18s), many parents want to take advantage of this useful service.
Indoor Skydiving

Flyaway Skydiving advises potential customers that skydiving is not without risk. The experience includes training and a simulated skydive in a wind tunnel.
Island Wedding Chapel

Located at the Tropicana, this chapel offers wedding ceremonies in a tropical paradise. There are two options on offer – take your pick from a ceremony in the lush Polynesian Gardens Gazeba or the South Seas-style palm-thatched Chapel. The Island Wedding Chapel was voted lushest chapel in Las Vegas by Brides Magazine in 1999.
Jewish Temples

Very few churches and synagogues – as distinct from wedding chapels – perform “walk-in” ceremonies. Marriage requirements vary from congregation to congregation. Contact Temple Beth Shalom or Temple Adat Ari El for more information.
Jigsaw Puzzles of the Strip

A pastime with no cash payout, but plenty of variety in terms of styles of puzzle and images of Vegas. The most popular are puzzles that piece together the Strip by night or form cartoon renditions of sights along the Strip. And since this part of Las Vegas is ever-changing, you may one day have a collector’s item.
Las Vegas Athletic Club

The Athletic Club is considered by Las Vegas residents to be one of the premier fitness facilities in the city. It contains all the usual gym equipment, plus virtual-reality exercise machines, abdominal and cardio rooms, and childcare facilities. The rates are reasonable, too, and the surroundings scrupulously clean.
Little Church of the West

The Little Church opened in 1942, making it one of the oldest wedding chapels in town. It is a favorite with the stars: Zsa Zsa Gabor and George Saunders, Betty Grable and band leader Harry James, and model Cindy Crawford and actor Richard Gere have all graced its portals.
Madame Tussaud’s

Have your loved one stand next to his or her favorite wax museum celebrity (see Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum).
Manhattan Express Roller

For those riders who dare to keep their eyes open during this white-knuckler, the Coney Island-style ride offers spectacular views of the Strip. The coaster route writhes, dips, dives, and loops around the resort’s perimeter.
MGM Grand Arcade

The huge arcade features the very best in video and virtualreality games.
