Five Fun Outdoor Activities You Can Do In Vegas

Vegas is one place to visit out of many places in The United States. Even though it can get extremely hot; night life with some extremely weird outfits on Fremont street , casinos  and the variety of restaurants to eat give you a tons of activities to choose from. However, if you enjoy nature and outdoor, there are plenty of social distancing activities you can do. The choices are limitless, you just need the cash.

Here are some cool outdoor activities you can do in Vegas.

Helicopter Tour

 

There are two different tours , one over Vegas and the other over the Canyon.  Helicopter tours range between $84 and $99 and can cost more if you choose the VIP option which includes hotel pick up and drop off, as well as refreshments.

What to expect flying over Las Vegas.

Your Vegas helicopter tour begins with a pickup from your Vegas hotel if you choose the VIP package. Once you arrive, you get to enjoy a glass of sparkling Champagne or bottle of water before you board your helicopter.
There is a quick training done about the rules and regulations prior taking off.
The best part about the night tour is that  your helicopter heads high into the sky above the Vegas Strip, fly over famous casinos and resorts such as Paris, The Bellagio, The Luxor, and other lit-up hotels.  Unfortunately, the flight only runs for 15-30 minutes.
After your helicopter lands, you’ll reboard your vehicle for the ride back to your destination.

The High Roller at The LINQ

Discover Las Vegas from a 550-feet (168 m) High Roller. This will give you the best view in Las Vegas.  Tickets to the High Roller start at $20 and can last for about 30 minutes.  You can choose a daytime ride to see the Nevada desert landscape or ride at night to see all the neon signs around the city. If you want to have access to an open bar, all you need to do is to upgrade your ticket and expand your experience.
I did not get a chance to experience it, but it will be  in my bucket list next time I’m in Vegas.

ATV Experience

Drive an ATV through El Dorado Canyon then go deep into Techatticup Mine and explore rugged desert terrain and a historic gold mine. Absolutely, no experience to needed for easy-to-handle, automatic ATVs.
Prices can be $126 up to $200 based on the duration. Pickup and drop-off are also available which make this an easy way to escape the city for the Nevada desert

Gondola Rides

Among many things to do in Vegas, there  is an indoor and outdoor Venetian gondola rides at the Venetian Hotel.  Each offers its own unique views, I am not sure if they both equally enchanting and full of wonderful moments because the outdoor rides were sold out for the night when I arrived.
The ride was kinda short but the gondolier made it so fun by singing for us and made a quick stop just to sing me happy birthday. You definitely get that Venice, Italy vibe and It was nice.

Emerald Cave Kayak Tour

You can experience the Colorado River’s majestic Emerald Cave on a scenic kayaking tour that includes round-trip transportation from Las Vegas to the river. The excursion offers paddling techniques for first-time kayakers and cones with a guide to teach you about all about out wildlife and geological features while enjoying the float

In addition to a free round- trip transportation from Las Vegas to the marina; snacks are also provided.

Kayak along a tranquil section of the Colorado River and explore the Emerald Cave for 4-5 hours is definitely enjoyable. 

My trip to Vegas was extremely short but hoping to participate in more activities for my next trip. If you have been somewhere exciting , let us know what you’ve enjoyed the most in the comments.
