I'm going to Las Vegas for a week for my sister's wedding, and I have no interest in gambling.

What else is there to do in Vegas besides gamble?

Drive a Supercar on a racetrack. You get a trained driver with you who encourages you to CUT 'ER LOOSE! And then you get a video of you slamming through the gears going about a gillion miles an hour in a car you have never even seen!

We had a lot of fun walking around the big named hotels. They're super gorgeous inside and just cool to look at.

Not sure what the deal is right now with COVID, but there are TONS of fabulous shows to check out. There are also a number of really big/famous/fancy restaurants; we went to Gordon Ramsey's: https://www.gordonramsayrestaurants.com/steak/

You could also take a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, it's ok - something to do
Bodies and Titanic exhibits at Luxor, pricey but not gambling. Cool stuff
Pinball Hall of Fame, you can play old to new-ish machines. Fun if you like that kind of thing. South of the Strip by the Welcome to Fabulous LV sign - 4925 Las Vegas Blvd S
Tons of restaurants on and off strip
Go to Red Rock Canyon, take a picnic, photos and go on a hike
Valley of Fire is about an hour away - absolutely stunning, same thing...picnic, hike, check out the welcome center
Eldorado Mine Tour in Searchlight NV - an hour away, I had a really good time checking out the old mine and buildings

I used to drive a cab in LV...this question always cracked me up and also spoke volumes about the person asking.


FWIW, in Las Vegas you can do anything you can do in any other city...and 1,000 other things you can't in every other city all in ONE city!


Since apparently GOOGLE doesn't exist in your world...here's a start:

I haven't been to The Mob Museum yet, but I hear it's great and on my list of things to do.

It's just amazing how many non-gambling things there are to do all in one small city!


Then, take in the geography and add another 1,000 things to do!


The better question would be: What ISN'T there to do in LV?

In general just pay attention. There are an innumerable set of things to do without gambling though wife and I always gamble $50 or$100 as an offering to the Las Vegas Gods.

Hit downtown too - good fun just to walk around and have a drink or two.
