Highlights: The High Roller, Auto Collective
Towering the city of Las Vegas, this High Roller Ride will send you to the top of Sin-city for a spectacular view of all the neon lights! Tips: Buy a drink and take it on the ride. If you are a car buff, step back into the past in Auto Collective to see cool historical cars, or if you have the means, buy one!
3. Circus Circus,
Highlight: Adventuredome, free circus show above the casino.
The Adventuredome is USA's largest indoor theme park. However, ride tickets don't come cheap. If you are on a budget, a free world-class circus show will certainly bring out the kid in you too, at no cost!
