Complete my "100 things to do in Las Vegas" list

33. Went to the top of the Eiffel Tower in the Paris. Definitely worth the view, which brings me to 34…
34. Watched the Bellagio water show from the top of the Paris
35. Checked out the Butterfly Atrium in the Bellagio. So fantastic!
36. Andy Warhol exhibit – absolutely fantastic – the guy was a weirdo, but he is an interesting person to make you think about art, business and character.

28. Henderson Birding Preserve is so fantastic, so happy to have found that treasure
29. Defending the Caveman – meh.
30. Gold Coast bowling, possibly the most fun possible!
31. The Springs Preserve really has fantastic events, in addition just walking through the exhibits and walkways on a regular day si great as well.
32. Massive Imax theater at the Palms. Whoop de doo – the movie was terrible (lookin at you Oz) and a $17 cover charge really soured me on ever going there again.

23. Natural History Museum – fantastic
24. Old Fort w TG!
25. Day trip to St.George
26. Ski lift at Mt. Charleston (scary, no bars to hold you in)
27. Prospecting for gold! Found some nails!

as you can tell my list is constantly changing – I have found that there are certain things, meh, I’m just not that interested in or others that just seem so interesting now that I am here.
1. Visited the Mob Museum
2. Best grilled cheeser of my life at the Roxy in the Stratosphere
3. Magic shows
4. Terrible, awful, stand-up comedians
5. Hiking in Red Rock Canyon

11. Saw Elvis impersonator show, terribly awesome
12. Saw a couple of plays
13. Fremont night experience – love the Bon Jovi light show!
14. Met a couple of 43thingers!
15. Walked through Sunset Dunes (fantastic – go there if you are in town and just want a nice walk.
16. Joined the local library
17. Figured out public transportation, but given how close I live to the school it is actually cheaper for me to drive myself – who knew!
18. Lovely drive through Lake Mead Park
19. The interactive Mob attraction at the Tropicana – this was not for me at all.
20. Received my first massage! With hot rocks nonetheless. Probably won’t be a regular thing.
21. Saw a live recording of the Will James Show
22. Figured out my favorite all time drink is a classic margarita, with ice and lotsa salt on the rim

Much more to do! But at least when I look at this list I realize just how much I have accomplished over the last few months.

I marked a few items off my list while TG was here for a visit. A stop at the Natural History Museum – which was absolutely fantastic and then the Old Mormon State Park.
We also drove the entire length of the Strip, which I have been needing to do since I got here! Then lunch at Harley Davidson with some great barbecue.

Thanks TG! We were both kinda wonky eyed in the pick!

There are two blanks, tbd, but this is a big list that combines both entertainment and becoming a local opportunities. I will be in las Vegas next month, so I will be starting soon!

I’ve been through LV at least 20 times, but lately I’ve been wanting more from my visits – hence I’ve found a pretty neat little list of 100 things to do. This list has things on it I wouldn’t typically even think of, but that are in fact quintessentially Vegas and Nevada to-dos. If I move down this will give me a great place to start with activities, and if I don’t at least I’ll get more out of my visits.
