Wondering what are the best things to do in Vegas during the day? Here are a few recommendations!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I have memory, I’ve always thought of Las Vegas as a place you visit to gamble and party, but little did I know that there are so many more activities and attractions you can enjoy in and around Sin City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gathered a few of my favorite travel bloggers who know Vegas well and asked them what their top recommendations would be on the best things to in Vegas during the day. These are them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there more things to do in Vegas besides gamble?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! While the casinos in Las Vegas are world-famous and many people do travel to Sin City for that very reason, there are plenty of more things to do in Vegas besides gamble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From fun activities to enjoy within the city to day trips out to explore the desert and other gems in nature, you’ll find there is plenty to do in Vegas both during the day as well as evening activities that don’t involve casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best things to do in Vegas during the day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list of top recommendations on the best things to do in Vegas during the day as recommended by travel bloggers who know the city and its surroundings well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Valley of Fire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a desert adventure that will make you forget all about the neon lights of the Vegas Strip? Look no further than a one-day trip to Valley of Fire State Park<\/a>, a stunningly beautiful wonderland filled with vibrant colors, dramatic vistas, and unique rock formations\u2014 just an hour away from Sin City!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"things<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are some things to add to your itinerary for a day trip to this beautiful park:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hike Fire Wave Trail: This short, moderate hike is only 1.5 miles round trip, but it’ll take you through some of the most incredible scenery in the park. The trail features stunning rock formations and striated layers of red, orange, and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take in the Petroglyphs: The park is home to some of the most well-preserved petroglyphs in the Southwest. At Atlatl Rock, you can climb up to see petroglyphs that were made as far back as 4,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Rainbow Vista: This overlook offers panoramic views of the park’s colorful sandstone formations, and it’s especially spectacular at sunset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hike White Domes Trail: This is one of the most popular hikes in Valley of Fire State Park. This 1.25 mile trail takes you through a stunning landscape of red sandstone formations, narrow slot canyons, and even a short tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out Elephant Rock: You won’t be able to miss this massive rock formation that looks just like an elephant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay for Sunset: You don’t want to miss the spectacular sight of the sun setting over the park’s vibrant red rocks. It’s a great way to cap off a day of hiking and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valley of Fire State Park is about an hour’s drive from Las Vegas, and there is an entrance fee of $15 per vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Stratosphere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Stratosphere, located at the northern end of the Las Vegas strip, is a 1,149 foot tall tower hotel that overlooks Sin City. But the \u201cStrat\u201d, as it likes to be called, is not only a hotel. It\u2019s also one of the top attractions to visit during the day while visiting the West Coast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"things<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, one of the top things to do at the Stratosphere is taking a lift to the top outdoor and indoor observation deck. Sitting at the very top of the tower, the observation deck offers a 360 degree view on Las Vegas and the strip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it\u2019s stunning at night, the view during the day allows you to really see the size of Vegas and the desert surrounding it. It\u2019s quite impressive and often leaves visitors speechless. On the deck, you\u2019ll be able to find bars and restaurants along with shops to buy Vegas souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view from the observation deck is certainly impressive but it\u2019s nothing compared to the thrill you can get by hopping in one fo the two rides that make the Stratosphere famous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to experience the view from outside, you can join the Big Shot or the X-Scream rides for sensational experiences! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between hanging 27 feet over the edge of the tower or being shot 160 feet in the air at 45 miles per hour, this is not for the faints of heart! If you have a fear of heights, you\u2019ll want to avoid them though! For extra thrills, visitors can try Skyjump, a vertical zip line, the highest of its kind in the world for what we\u2019d call unique views of Las Vegas! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
