Ever think Las Vegas was just for gambling and maybe a sightseeing trip to the Grand Canyon? Think again! Not only are you a short distance from deserts where various activities await, but you also have the option to have your very own Las Vegas ski trip! This video is a montage of a group of people’s photos and video footage of their trip to the resort. It includes exhilarating footage while going down the mountain, as well as a great tune from U2 in the background. Skiing in Las Vegas – who knew?

This video is simply amazing! Not only is it well-shot, it features some spectacular views of the Grand Canyon’s Skywalk and brilliant Native American music in the background. The Grand Canyon Skywalk is only 2.5 hours from Las Vegas and is a glass bridge that is suspended 4,000 feet above the canyon. It has a horseshoe shape and protrudes 65 feet from the edge. If you have never seen the Grand Canyon or have yet to see the skywalk, this is certainly a video to entice the appetite. Luckily when you visit Las Vegas and the surrounding areas, you don’t necessarily have to worry about losing all your money on the slots. You and the family (or friends) can always venture a few hours away to see some truly breathtaking natural views. If unable to visit, this video provides you with aerial shots you most likely would be unable to obtain on your own!

The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is one of the most luxurious hotels that exists in the city. If you can’t afford to stay there, you can always watch their beautiful music fountain shows that are displayed on an eight acre lake that is located in front of the hotel.

The movements of the water respond to the Bellagio Fountain music which varies, causing it to have slow movements and then rapid ones when the music grows more intense. Inspired by the Bellagio Resort in Lake Como Italy, the choreographed water is certainly a sight to see!

This video shows some of the music show and after watching it, it becomes quite clear that this is one of the many reasons why Las Vegas should be the next vacation trip you plan.

In this video, a man and his wife film their entry into Las Vegas after a cross country drive. As they arrive in this fabulous city, they pan around to the casinos as they light up the night.

The Las Vegas strip never seems to get old to many as it gets more exciting with each year. The creator of this video even has a little sense of humor with his funny comment towards the end. Definitely worth seeing if you have never seen those city lights or simply want a refresher of that great sight!
