3-Day Las Vegas Itinerary: Best Things to Do
Las Vegas concentrates the world's flashiest megaresorts, dancing fountains, and neon spectacle into a few walkable miles of desert. This busy three-day plan works the Strip in two clusters — the Bellagio-to-Caesars heart on day one, the Venetian-to-Sphere north end on day two — then trades the casinos for downtown's Fremont Street, the Neon Boneyard, and the mural-covered Arts District on day three, threading real restaurants and confirmed opening hours through every stop.
