The Fountains of Bellagio
Every evening, a water and music show plays again and again in the spectacular fountains filling the quarter-mile-long lake in front of the Bellagio. The free show runs every 15 minutes or every half-hour, depending on the time of year. The fountains' pattern, which varies with the season, is choreographed to a number of different pieces of songs, which last between five and 10 minutes.
Eiffel Tower Experience
A ride to the top of this Eiffel Tower will literally take your breath away, unless traveling up the center of the tower at 340 feet per minute pushed up against the door of a glass elevator doesn't bother you. So, acrophobes and the faint of heart beware! The replica stands 540 feet, about half the 1,051 feet of the original. It also offers the posh Eiffel Tower Restaurant, which is by reservation only.
IMAX Theatre at the Luxor
The first of its kind to open in Las Vegas, the Luxor IMAX Theatre features a 7-story screen as well as 30,000 watts of sound distributed across six sets of speakers throughout the theater. Imagine brilliant imagery 7 stories tall, 360° surround sound so vivid you can feel it in through your core. Discover adventure and drama at the Luxor Hotel and Casino IMAX Theatre.
Star Trek: The Experience
Home to two exciting attractions, Klingon Encounter and BORG Invasion 4D, Star Trek: The Experience provides visitors with a very realistic experience through the use of live interaction and motion simulators. Some may even say chillingly realistic.
Ethel M Chocolate Factory
Home of gourmet chocolate and beautiful greenery, Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Garden is located right off the Vegas strip on the way to Hoover Dam. Built in 1981 in tribute of Forrest Mar's mother Ethel, this Chocolate Factory takes Ethel's family recipes and combines them with fruits and nuts to form top-dollar gourmet candies. Tour the factory and see how it happens!
You can also walk through the Botanical Cactus Garden of over 350 species of cacti and other desert plants. Be amazed by the Living Machine, a water treatment plant that is totally natural; the cleansing is performed by a waste-consuming ecology of snails, plants and other aquatic life.
