Arcades, art, vintage finds or a quiet morning outside. Choose an interest, save a few places, and make a day of it.
Pinball, esports and Japanese arcade games. Find a place to play with your people.
South of the Strip · Las Vegas Boulevard
Trade the casino floor for the clack of a real pinball table. Playable machines from different eras turn this nonprofit collection into a hands-on stop, with a few arcade and novelty games in the mix.
The Strip · Luxor
Bring your gaming crew to Luxor for PC play in the Game Lounge. Check the arena calendar if you would rather build the visit around a tournament or special event.
South of the Strip · Town Square
Arcade games, PC and console play, and bowling give a mixed group plenty to choose from at Town Square. Make it the main outing or stop in between shopping and dinner.
West of the Strip · Chinatown
A Chinatown arcade for people who would rather chase a rhythm-game score than a jackpot. Japanese imports, racing games, retro favorites and claw machines give a group plenty of ways to split up and compare scores.
Working studios, graphic art and a different side of the city.
Arts District · Charleston Boulevard
An Arts District starting point with studios, galleries and small creative businesses under one roof. Browse the building, find a show that catches your eye, then continue into the surrounding neighborhood.
Arts District · Main Street
Bold graphic art with something to say. Izaac Zevalking’s Main Street gallery draws on history and current affairs, adding a more pointed stop to an afternoon of Arts District browsing.
Downtown · Things to do
The city’s old signs get a second life here. Choose a daytime look at the collection or an evening visit for a different atmosphere, then build the rest of your downtown outing around that admission time.
Browse for a small keepsake or an unexpected find.
Arts District · Antique Alley
Leave room for a little rummaging. This Main Street antiques stop fits naturally between an Arts District lunch and a gallery visit, especially when browsing is more fun than following a strict shopping list.
Arts District · Antique Alley
Browse vintage furniture, collectibles and small finds in a roomy Antique Alley shop. Pair it with another Main Street store and a coffee, and let the afternoon unfold.
Start with a coffee and leave room to wander.
Arts District · Casino Center Boulevard
Start your Main Street wander with coffee from a working neighborhood roastery. This Casino Center location is an easy daytime stop before the shops and galleries.
Make time for a neighborhood evening.
Arts District · Main Street
Seasonal cocktails, vintage furniture and a pink patio give this Main Street bar its own personality. Come for an evening drink after the galleries, rather than trying to squeeze it into an afternoon shopping loop.
Arts District · Main Street
Make Main Street your meeting point for a brewery stop. Order from the current tap list and settle in with food from Arts District Kitchen inside.
Gardens, wildlife and room to breathe.
Northwest Las Vegas · Parks & picnic spots
Lakes, big trees and the old Tule Springs ranch make this a good place to slow down. Bring a picnic and leave time to wander the grounds.
East Las Vegas · Gardens & wildlife
Reeds, ponds and birds reveal a different side of the desert. Walk the Nature Preserve, then visit the Nature Center’s exhibits.
Mount Charleston · Scenic day trips
Trade the resort corridor for mountain scenery and pine forest. Start at the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway, then choose a picnic spot or trail that suits the day.
Put a few good places together
Try an Arts District afternoon, a gaming day, downtown neon or a slower visit to Springs Preserve. Find the route, then make the plan yours.
