You need to go to "Tripadvisor.com" and type in "Attractions - Las Vegas" to see a list of local attractions ranked IN ORDER of most popular to least popular, with hundreds of visitor reviews of each one,, and the official website of each one.

We recently did the Red-E bike tour of Red Rock Canyon. We did a 3 hour tour. You ride E-bikes so pretty easy for most anybody to get around. Was super fun and a great way to see the area!

Take a drive to the little town outside of L.V, called Pahrump. There you can go to their winery and participate in stomping grapes or visit their house of prostitution where you are introduced to some of their workers and hear their stories. While there, they also serve a nice lunch.

Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority commissions a survey of visitors every year. A small but dedicated number of people–7%–visit Las Vegas specifically to gamble.

In 2018, 74% of all visitors said they gambled while in Las Vegas. However, they have a small budget and don’t spend too much time gambling. The average gambling budget per trip in 2018 was $527.05. About 27% of visitors who gambled had a budget below $100. The vast majority of visitors, 67%, spent two hours or less gambling during their four day Vegas vacation.

The formerly communist government of China wants to use Las Vegas as the model for their gambling district of Macau. In other words they want their citizens to spend money on nice hotel rooms, fancy restaurants, spectacular shows and golf outings. They don't want them crouched over baccarat tables for 8 plus hours per day. The extreme emphasis on gambling is closely related to personal bankruptcy, money laundering, embezzlement schemes, and a host of other social ills.

Hey OP, let us know if you found anything to do while you're here. Please list it out too so others can determine if there's anything they'd like to do besides gamble.

You know what, we have some cool mountian biking trails. You can rent a bike out by RedRock and ask the people there where to go for trails. Red Rock Cyclery is where I go. You can rent a rack and carry them on your car or they even take you out by shuttle I beleive.
