On the Strip, you can find a Las Vegas attraction in almost every major resort. For instance, outdoor exhibits include the Sirens of TI at Treasure Island, the volcano explosion at the Mirage, the fountain show at the Bellagio, the wildlife habitat with flamingos at the Flamingo and the lion habitat at the MGM Grand. They are all free shows and very popular.

Indoors, visit the fountain and statue shows at Caesar's Palace, the Mardi Gras Masquerade in the Sky at the Rio, the Streetmosphere singers and mimes at the Venetian and the Conservatory at the Bellagio where 100 horticulturalists create amazing themed displays every quarter using flowers, seeds, wood, water fountains and more. Again these shows and displays cost nothing and are Vegas' way of giving back.

A must see Las Vegas attraction is Madame Tussauds wax museum with all your favorite movie stars, sports celebrities and rock stars. Bring your camera, because you will want to show your friends back home photos of you and these famous people that absolutely look alive. The Auto Collection at the Imperial Palace has 350 classic cars. Also check out the Ferrari Maserati Collection at the Wynn. King Tut's Tomb at the Luxor is an exact replica of the young king's tomb discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 in Egypt.
