• Best Pools: There are acres of water park fun at Mandalay Bay, including a wave pool, lazy river, beach, regular swimming pools, and even its own open-air casino. Meanwhile, the lush landscaping, fountains, and water slides at The Mirage will make you feel like you’re in a tropical paradise.
  • Best Golf: Real” golfers head to TPC Las Vegas for its challenging holes, gorgeous scenery, and occasional Justin Timberlake sightings. If you're more into hitting  a few golf balls as a social exercise, Topgolf is a driving range, bar, and dining destination all in one.
  • Best Drives: The 13-mile Red Rock Scenic Drive provides a way to enjoy the colorful rocks and canyons without leaving the air-conditioned comfort of your car. On the other hand, you could get a good breeze going at about 140 mph in one of the race or exotic cars you can drive yourself at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
  • Best Retreat: If you need a respite from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, head north to Mount Charleston for a relaxed mountain retreat or to work up a sweat while hiking or snowboarding.
  • Best Man-Made Wonder: One of the greatest engineering feats in history is the 726-foot-tall Hoover Dam. You can take tours of the mighty facility and learn how it made Las Vegas (and much of the American Southwest) possible.
