For great steaks with a classic old-Vegas atmosphere, book a reservation for Bugsy & Meyer's at the Flamingo. Named after the gangsters who founded the resort, the steakhouse plays up its mobster theme with a "hidden" bakery entrance and speakeasy lounge in the back. The steaks are dry-aged in-house, and among the best currently on the Strip. 

There's nothing else quite like AREA15 in Las Vegas. The large mysterious warehouse near Interstate 15 is a mixed use entertainment space, where you can sip cocktails at Oddwood, check out the installations at Art Island, experience virtual reality at Birdly and much more. Make sure to grab a scoop of ice cream at Emack & Bolios.

We already know video games are big business. Now they've become their own form of competitive sport. Las Vegas is fast becoming a hub for esports. Visit the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor, a multi-level venue that hosts tournements, special events and stations for anyone to play. The Rio is also getting into the act with The Wall, a restaurant and lounge with 30 gaming stations.  

Planet 13 Superstore combines commerce with entertainment as the largest cannabis dispenary in Las Vegas. The 112,000-square-foot facility is in walking distance from the Strip (although an Uber is more convenient) and features a large selection of marijuana products. It also has an interactive floor, synchronized 3D projections and 13-foot-tall LED flowers on the roof.

Planet 13 is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More new things to do

It's a bit of a secret, but Las Vegas has one of the most intriguing Chinatown dining scenes in the country. Whether it's robatta-grilled meats at Raku, spicy Sichuan at Chengdu Taste or even a casual take on French fine dining at Partage, there is incredible variety to be enjoyed throughout the district. Check out bars like Golden Tiki for cocktails or the Sand Dollar for whiskey. Chinatown is just west of the Strip on about two miles of Spring Mountain Road easily reachable by taxi or rideshare.
