Four Quirky Things To Do In Las Vegas in 2024

Visit Area15

AREA15 is changing the fabric of Vegas nightlight with the world’s most immersive playground.  A 10-minute drive from Silverton Casino-Lodge is the world’s first purpose-built experiential art, entertainment, and event complex offering live performances, immersive activations, monumental art installations, extraordinary design elements, unique retail, ground-breaking technology, bars and eateries and much more. With a growing collection of dynamic destinations including Lost Spirits Distillery, Illuminarium and its anchor experience, Omega Mart by Meow Wolf Las Vegas, AREA15’s ever-changing art, retail and entertainment attractions draws locals and tourists of all ages.

Take Mountain Selfies

Just a 15-minute drive from Silverton Casino-Lodge is Red Rock Canyon, seemingly a world away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas.  Here, you will find plenty of “selfie” opportunities.  Our favorite is the Calico stop on the 13-mile scenic drive.

Ride the Ziplines

You’ve got a few choices when it comes to Las Vegas ziplines.  On the Strip, the FLYLINQ zipline towers above the Linq promenade (above).  Located downtown, the SlotZilla ziplines take you on a thrilling trip under the LED-lighted canopy of the Fremont Street Experience.  If you are looking for a taste of the desert, check out the Bootleg Canyon zipline in nearby Boulder City.

Explore Seven Magic Mountains

Internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale site-specific public art installation located near Interstate 15, approximately ten miles south of Las Vegas. Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than thirty feet high, Seven Magic Mountains is situated within the Ivanpah Valley adjacent to Sheep Mountain and the McCullough, Bird Spring, and Goodsprings ranges of mountains. A creative expression of human presence in the desert, Seven Magic Mountains punctuates the Mojave with a poetic burst of form and color.   During summer months, be sure to go early to avoid mid-day heat.
