\"vegas<\/a><\/p>\n

Las Vegas is full of lights, glamour and action. Despite the city\u00a0being\u00a0full of adventure, not all of the action\u00a0happens on the strip.<\/p>\n

There are lots of fun and exciting activities to do ‘off the strip’ – enough\u00a0to make you leave the crowds and bustle behind in order\u00a0to experience more of this great city.<\/p>\n

When planning your next vacation to the\u00a0desert oasis,\u00a0here are the best ‘off the strip’ activities you should try:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rent a Dune Buggy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Take an off road adventure through the desert that surrounds Vegas on a dune buggy! Over at SunBuggy Fun Rentals<\/a> you can rent a dune buggy for up to four people, so don\u2019t be scared to make it a family adventure that you will never forget.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Visit Lake Mead<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Lake Mead is a man-made reservoir near the\u00a0The Hoover Dam<\/a>\u00a0that is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Vegas. Go boating, fishing or swimming while you soak up the rays.<\/p>\n

      \"vegas<\/a><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Red Rock Canyon <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This amazing canyon <\/a>is made out of bright red sandstone. Explore the landscape on a scenic drive or walk\u00a0over 30 miles of hiking trails. You can also go horseback riding, ride bikes and rock climb. Pack your lunch for an unforgettable picnic amongst the Mojave Desert.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Barrick Museum<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          At the University of Nevada\u00a0you will find the Marjorie Barrick Museum<\/a>. In addition to the breathtaking\u00a0 collections of artwork there is much more to do here – \u00a0take a guided tour, view a film screening or make a collage at the Art Bar.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Ethel M Chocolates Factory<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Just outside of Las Vegas, in Henderson Nevada, you will find the Ethel M Chocolates Factory<\/a>. Take a self-guided tour through the factory to experience\u00a0their exquisite chocolate making skills. You can also stroll through the Botanical Cactus Garden to get an up close and personal look at all of the beautiful flowering cacti.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. The Mob Museum<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              In downtown Las Vegas you will find The Mob Museum<\/a>. This is a great place to see unique artifacts, films and exhibits that depict the struggle\u00a0between law enforcement and the mob. The museum will help you discover all the facts you will ever need to know about the mob and is both an\u00a0educational and\u00a0fun experience!<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Indoor Go Kart Racing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Get out of the heat and seek some thrills at Pole Position. At this indoor go-kart race track you can strap on your seatbelt and put pedal to the metal\u00a0as you race around the track pushing for first place.<\/p>\n

                \"vegas<\/a><\/p>\n

                The next time you visit Las Vegas, remember that there is life off of the strip. While I touched on just a few, other worthy and notable\u00a0mentions include\u00a0Freemont Street<\/a>\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n
