This includes seeing big cats at Lion Habitat Ranch, the Flamingo wildlife habitat, the "origins of Las Vegas" at Springs Preserve and more. See our guide. |

But there’s no need for bad vibes. Several resorts around the Las Vegas Valley allow area residents into their resort pool areas — some even for free, like Palms and Park MGM. Get your swim on. |
| i_6 | I want to hit the club but don't know where to start. Where should I go? | Twenty-thousand-pound chandeliers, lighting rigs designed to look like spacecraft and $40,000 bottle service.

Right here with this guide to some of the biggest and best spots on the Strip: Drai's, Hakkasan, Marquee, Omnia and others. |
