"Bodies – The Exhibition is better than any science or anatomy class you’ve ever taken. It features a collection of well-preserved human bodies and body parts. You’ll have the chance to see real bodies preserved with their inner organs thanks to a long process of removing tissue and water and placed in a silicone bath before being vacuum sealed."

"The Luxor’s illuminating exhibit has been experienced by more than 15 million people. Bodies: The Exhibition showcases 13 real human bodies that have been carefully preserved so you can peek under your skin for a rare three-dimensional view of the human body.

Don't miss the ticket booth (how could you?); it's a Nevada Test Site guard-station replica."

"As you’re sipping on bubbly and replenishing your energy reserves, turn your attention to stage west, a.k.a.The Bellagio Fountains. Performing their water ballet every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. - midnight, this ultra popular Las Vegas attraction can be the entertainment to your meal if you schedule your hunger pangs accordingly. Front row seats to the fountains and prime people watching – this is what we like to call the Las Vegas dinnertime trifecta."

"With a backdrop of Tuscan architecture, the Bellagio’s faux Lake Como and dancing fountains are the antithesis of the Mojave Desert – although the resort does use reclaimed water. The fountain show’s recorded soundtrack varies, so cross your fingers that it will be Italian opera or ol’ Blue Eyes crooning ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ instead of country-and-western twang."

"The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bridge, crosses the Colorado River between the states of Arizona and Nevada and is world renowned for its impressive feats of engineering.

It also features the world's tallest concrete columns of their kind and is the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere."
