Las Vegas! Vegas, Baby! With a weekend to explore Las Vegas we arrived hitting the ground running wanting to pack in as much as we possibly could over a short period of time. Nigh life, music, gambling, entertainment, dancing, walking the Strip and shows in the evening. Driving luxury cars, helicopter tours, exploring the Grand Canyon and marveling at Red Rock Canyon by day. Las Vegas was full of surprises. The following is a Las Vegas travel guide to experience the most out of your vacation to Sin City. It is the best things to do on Las Vegas Strip along with day excursions outside of the city limits. As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

So we aren’t in Canada no more! This weekend we actually escaped to Las Vegas so we are going to be spending three days just enjoying winter in the desert and doing cool stuff. And today we’re walking down the strip and we’re going to show you some of the sights. And the best part – no winter parka right now.

Enough walking for a while. I’m starving. Let’s get some dinner. We’re going to Shake Shack.

So when this buzzer goes it’s time for me to get my food.

It’s ready. It’s ready. Go get it!

There is the man bringing food. Ooh la lah. I’m on a total health kick today. We’ve got a double burger, cheese fries, peanut butter shake and a root beer float.

When in Vegas.

I think I found my new favorite burger here at the Shake Shack.

They just do their patties to perfection over here.

Tell, me. Tell, me! You know what? Nobody does fast food like Americans. They’ve got it down to a science. It’s absolutely unhealthy but so delicious.

We just found a jelly bean Statue of Liberty and I’m going to dare Sam five bucks to lick it.

So what did you find? I found the largest Hershey chocolate bar in the world. Really?

We’re going to head back to the hotel and get ready for a show. We’re going to be seeing the Michael Jackson Show at the Mandalay Bay but unfortunately we can’t bring any cameras in there so we won’ t be able to show you that but maybe after the show we’ll hit the town again and show you the sights. Not maybe! Definitely!

It is so sad to be leaving but it is our last night in Las Vegas so we’re going to go out and try and see as much as we can this evening. Let’s go wild. Let’s gamble.

Why are you at the ATM machine right now? We need some cash to fuel our gambling addiction.

It is never ending. The lights. The noise. The ding ding ding ding. This is what a casino sounds like twenty-four seven. We see people gambling here at like five in the morning when we get up for breakfast. And yes we do get up that early.

What would a trip to Vegas be like without a little gambling? Sam, even looks like an old gambler today with that hat. Oh, I do. Guess what? We’re such cheapskates we’re playing with pennies. We’re going to the penny machine. They don’t even have pennies in Canada anymore, so let’s use these American pennies up.

Shiver me timbers. I’m playing a pirate game. I’m going to win me some money.

Tell us? Alright, I was a pretty lousy pirate, so I’m going to try my luck with this Owl game. Hoot! Hoot!

Ding ding ding ding ding. Being the supreme cheapskate that I am I’m cutting my loses after two dollars.

So we’re here at the Bellagio for the water show. And they have a lot of frequent shows in the evening so we’re just waiting for it to start.

So we are now at the Cosmopolitan and we are visiting one of the coolest bars in all of Las Vegas. This behind me is the Chandelier.

This is part of our Travel in the United States series. We’re making a series of videos showcasing American culture, American arts, American foods, American religion, American cuisine and American people.
