Las Vegas isn’t just a fun city, it’s one of the most photographed cities in the entire world. Adding to that are the millions of photos of the strip from all angles that prove that it’s one of the most beautiful cities to photograph, ever.

Amazon has launched its Restaurant Delivery service in Las Vegas – so Prime members in sexiest city in the United States can now order meal deliveries from more than 100 participating restaurants.
Deliveries will be made in one hour or less and customers can track the status of their delivery in real time through the mobile app.
For Prime members placing orders for delivery to the Las Vegas Strip, Amazon Restaurants offers curb-side pick-up for fast service.
Making this even cooler, Prime members can ask Alexa to reorder from Amazon Restaurants by saying a restaurant name or cuisine type, for example, “Alexa, order sushi from Amazon Restaurants.” The service pulls a customer’s order history from a specified restaurant or cuisine type and lists meal options available for reorder.
The selected meal is then sent for delivery to a customer’s default address. Once an order is placed, Amazon delivery partners deliver the food in one hour or less.
Alexa can assist users going out, too: The virtual assistant can provide restaurant recommendations based on Yelp reviews on request. Ask Alexa where the nearest barbecue restaurant is, for example, and it will respond with a name, location, and other Yelp-based information such as star ratings. And with Alexa coming soon to Ford vehicles, that means users will be able to order dinner by uttering a few words while they’re stuck in traffic.
Not sure what happened here, but if you hadn’t paid attention you might have not even known they ever were on the strip. The infamous Heart Attack Grill, which briefly occupied the space of where Pete Rose’s failed restaurant was, came and left almost as fast as a heart attack.
The restaurant has been closed down, and already there is enormous construction going on, and all signs taken down before you could say “coronary.
Yes, actually customers have died eating here, not just of the horrendous food, but perhaps of the excessive spankings of the “Nurses” who force you to eat every bit of food, or will beat you in an edge of your life.
While the one on Fremont is doing well, killing tourists daily, several other locations including the one in Phoenix and Dallas didn’t make it. While the one in Phoenix did exist for years, the one in Dallas seems to have also closed right after opening.
The Grill has been rife with controversy since opening, has made everyone’s list of worst restaurants in Vegas and perhaps the world. One waitress in 2013 claimed she was asked to video tape a passed out customer, to share on social media, to prove that their food actually kills people.
Jon Basso, the founder and owner of Heart Attack Grill appeared on Bloomberg Television and unapologetically told viewers that his food causes people to die
“I am probably the only restaurateur in the entire world who is unapologetically telling you that my food is bad for you, that it will kill you and that you should stay away from it,” he said.

Horses, & Peacocks, & goats, Oh My! This spot is great for people who like to get super up close and personal. There is a ghost town, a restaurant and a petting zoo. Great day trip for kids from Las Vegas. There’s a train that runs from the parking lot to the entrance on weekends. It’s free from the parking lot but if you want a ride back you have to dine at the restaurant or buy tickets. Which are inexpensive and then you get unlimited train rides all day.
This is a newer attraction, but it’s unique location and exhibits make it a must for those who love not just sea creatures, but a variety of reptiles and birds from all ends of the earth. You can gawk at toucans and turtles, and even swim with the stingrays if you choose. Seaquest is located in the newly-renovated super kid-friendly Boulevard Mall and offers both daily and annual passes.
8. Silverton Casinos Saltwater Aquarium
This one is not necessarily a jaw dropper, but it’s beautiful and free. Plus, real mermaids swim around with the tons of tropical fish. With the new Cracker Barrel located in the same casino, this is a definite must-stop if you’re in the area. Named the “Best Free Attraction” in Las Vegas, the saltwater Silverton Casino aquarium is really cool and impressive and will keep the kids happily entertained. On the outskirts of the casino at the Silverton, you will find a 117,000-gallon reef aquarium with stingrays, sharks and over 4,000 tropical fish. The aquarium is in cylindrical form so that kids can get an up-close look at various species of fish and sea creatures on any side of the aquarium.
7. The Tank at The Golden Nugget
This is a place where you can swim with sharks, without actually swimming with sharks. Another uber impressive fish tank that offers a unique pool and includes a waterslide that puts you right in the middle of the action. This is one that definitely needs to be on your summer bucket list. Though guests can wade up to any side of the pool and swim beside the marine creatures inside, one of the best ways to view the aquarium is from the inside; the slide, which starts at the top of the Tank, works its way down through the aquarium and past the monstrous sharks. This slide isn’t just for kids, and you’ll definitely want to wait in line for it.
This ranch features the famed lions of the Las Vegas strip. You can get a behind the scenes tour where you can ask a lion specialist all the questions you have and even feed their baby giraffe. On the weekends, you can watch these lions romp, play and rest. You might recall these lions at their former habitat inside MGM Grand. For 11 years, owner Keith Evans brought his big cats from the ranch to the hotel on a daily basis. They never spent the night at the hotel.
5. The Wildlife Exhibit at The Flamingo
Touted as one of the most unique and beloved attractions in Las Vegas, Flamingo’s Wildlife Habitat is a serene paradise. It is conveniently free of charge and open to the public daily. Nestled on the Flamingo hotel’s lush 15-acre grounds, the Habitat is stocked with exotic birds, fish and turtles. Visitors can walk through the habitat’s winding walkways, peer over bridges at the colorful koi in the lagoons below, and take a breather on the benches scattered throughout the habitat. The atmosphere is serene and quiet; for a second or two, it’s even possible to forget you’re in Las Vegas when you’re sitting among the habitat’s palms and magnolias. There are also several prime areas for photographs.
Fun fact: It’s completely free to come and walk a puppy, even if you’re not in the position to get one at the moment. It’ll be fulfilling for you, and the puppy will sure like it too! (puppies come in all ages, btw:))The Animal Foundation is a non-profit organization operating Nevada’s largest animal shelter. Founded in 1978 as a small low-cost spay and neuter clinic, The Animal Foundation quickly picked up speed and soon after opening its doors, began offering adoption services. Over the past 33 years, growth has been a constant. Today, The Animal Foundation operates and manages an 8 acre Las Vegas campus that houses a multitude of services and provides a refuge for the more than 50,000 homeless, lost, neglected, unwanted and abused animals received each and every year.
3. The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay
A fun and educational way to kill a couple of hours. This aquarium has over 2,000 animals (over 100 of those are sharks, hence the name!) Come face-to-face with some of the earth’s most fascinating creatures in nearly 1.6 million gallons of seawater. The largest exhibit is the 1.3 million gallon shipwreck where visitors experience through an acrylic tunnel, an almost 360-degree view, teeming with sharks of all kinds, along with sawfish, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, piranha, and jellies.
This park features a ton of birds you wouldn’t normally see elsewhere in Las Vegas, as well as a fishing pond stocked with bluegill and sunfish. This is a perfect picnic spot to get out and enjoy some wild animals for a very small entrance fee. In a city filled with palms and desert landscape, the grass lawn, pond and cottonwood tree-filled Floyd Lamb Park might look a little out of place in the Mojave metropolis of Las Vegas.
However, this oasis has been popular for literally thousands of years.
1. The Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat
A tried and true Las Vegas attraction. You can watch the dolphin show, swim with the dolphins, or ever do yoga with the dolphins! Opened in 1990, Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is the dream of legendary magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, better known to millions as Siegfried & Roy. For years the duo has worked to help save endangered animals, primarily white tigers and lions.
The Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Las Vegas showcases the duos dedication to animals with two areas – the Dolphin Habitat and the Secret Garden.
This is the ultimate white trash wedding for sure: Taco Bell is opening a chapel in its Las Vegas Strip Cantina location and has put together an entire wedding package couples can order right off the menu.
It includes a Taco Bell garter, bow tie, sauce packet wedding bouquet, “Just Married” T-shirts, Taco Bell Champagne flutes and a Cinnabon Delights wedding cake. Your first meal as newlyweds will be a Taco 12-Pack.
Most of the time you have to drop some serious cash to have a fairy-tale wedding, but if you don’t actually give a shit, the Taco Bell wedding package is really cheap. The whole thing, including the full ceremony and officiant, will set you and your partner back about $600 — and your dignity.
According to a recent press release from the chain, all the wedding coordination and services are provided through a partnership between Taco Bell and Flora Pop, which specializes in unique pop-up weddings and elopements.
The fast-food chain is running a contest with one winning couple getting an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, Nevada and lodging at Planet Hollywood to be the first couple to have a Taco Bell wedding.To enter the contest, couples must share how Taco Bell has played a part in their love story, which for some couples, is super easy (as you’ll see below). This can be done either through a picture or a video clip posted to Twitter or Instagram with hashtag #loveandtacoscontest. The winner will be selected by voters and announced on March 16, 2017. But if you’re not in a relationship but want to take part in the festivities? Voters will be entered to win the opportunity to attend the wedding, so you can get in on the fun, too.
The Taco Bell Cantina wedding chapel opens this summer.
Sushisamba, the restaurant that mixes Japanese sushi and the sexy waxed culture of Brazil, has announced that they will be unveiling the largest Japanese Whisky list in Las Vegas and perhaps the largest in America. “We are constantly seeking things that complement and bring something special to the SUSHISAMBA brand,” said Shimon “Bonzai” Bokovza, CEO of Sushisamba’s parent company. “After conquering sake for the past 15 years we are looking forward to expand our offering and introduce Japanese Whisky to our guests in a new and exciting way.”
The Whisky list has been curated around these three Founding Fathers and it features 26 Whiskies without age statements all the way up to Whiskies aged 28 years, in all varieties: Single Malt, Pure Malt, Blended Whisky, Blended Malt Whisky, Sherry Cask Whisky, Whiskies that have been distilled in the Japanese Alps, or Whiskies that have been distilled in the most northern island of Hokkaido where the distillery is nestled between mountains and the Sea of Japan. The impressive collection also includes some rare award-winning selections such as Akashi 5YR Sherry Cask, the Mars 3 & 25, Nikka Taketsuru 17yr Pure Malt – a line dedicated to the founder of Nikka.
“Japanese Whisky is traditionally paired with chocolate, cheese and smoked meats,” said SUSHISAMBA Executive Chef Joel Versola. “The real excitement here is that we’re going much wider with our pairings. There is an element of surprise”
Along with the whisky, they have created a new menu to compliment getting completely wasted on Japanese whisky:
