Marvel at the classic neon marquees, casinos and people watching on this five-block pedestrian mall covering a classic stretch of Las Vegas. The massive overhead canopy hosts six-minute Viva Vision video and audio shows on the hour from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. More to do downtown.

Start with a champagne toast, then take a helicopter flight over the Strip. The nighttime tours are the best way to see the neon glow of Vegas in all its glory, including up-close views of the towering Stratosphere. Maverick Helicopters has a $99 online special for its roughly 15-minute Vegas Nights tour. 

Grand Canyon tours are available by air, bus or limo. Soak in the spectacle of the west rim and step onto the infamous Skywalk if you dare. Tours typically start at 6 a.m. and finish at 2 p.m. Grand Canyon Tours
