Two days in Las Vegas – a weekend itinerary

Use your pass on the Big Bus tour and ride out to the iconic 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada' sign.This historic sign serves as a relic of Las Vegas' neon sign history and was designed in 1959 by Betty Willis of the Western Neon Company. Photo ops and selfies here are gratis, but be aware you may have to jockey for position with other tourists who had the same idea as you.

Alternatively, leave the selfie stick at the hotel and book a pro photographer for snaps that are guaranteed to make your Insta pop. It's a great way to take your holiday pics up a level, and you'll find it included (along with the Big Bus tour and many other Las Vegas attractions in this guide) with a Las Vegas pass from Go City.

Hop on and continue your ride to the last stop where you can switch routes and join the Downtown route. Pay attention to the layout of the Strip as you ride along the first section, you'll be exploring some of the sights you've spotted along this eye-popping boulevard tomorrow!

Once you're on the Downtown route, The Mob Museum stop drops you off right at the main entrance. Head inside for an interactive and entertaining account of Sin Citys's origin story: the Mob that built the city.

You'll learn about the notorious battle between the Mob and the law enforcement that sought to put a stop to their activities. Hear both sides of the story brought to life with multi-sensory, immersive exhibits and exclusive insights from some of the key players. Oh, and there's a secret speakeasy serving up Prohibition-era cocktails here too. Bottoms up!

Stroll over to Fremont Street, a five-block entertainment destination in historic Downtown Las Vegas that's lined with shops, famous hotels, old-school casinos and more. Join the Fremont Street walking tour to discover the storied background to this cool corner of the city. Look up to the ceiling to experience the Fremont Street Experience's Viva Vision, the world's largest video screen featuring free light shows and more.

If you're looking to eat dinner while you're here, downtown Las Vegas, particularly Fremont East, has become a bit of a foodie destination in the past few years, so there are plenty of options for just about any appetite.

Head up the iconic Tower at the STRAT – the tallest freestanding observation deck in the United States – for 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip, the Valley and beyond – be sure to wave to the passing helicopters! You'll have access to both indoor and outdoor decks and the Stratosphere's viewfinders will help you identify landmarks across the city and beyond.

Go for an early afternoon spin on the High Roller, America's tallest observation wheel, at 550 feet above ground. The 30-minute ride promises stunning, 360-degree views of iconic sights along the Las Vegas Strip and beyond.

If you want to toast your trip to Vegas, grab a drink from the High Roller’s wheelhouse bar before boarding your observation pod, then head to the right-hand side of the observation cabin for the best views. When you're done with your ride, be sure to spend a little time exploring the LINQ shopping and entertainment district. It's a great place for souvenirs or lunch and Las Vegas pass holders get credit to spend at Favorite Bistro and Sweet Sin, as well as a chance to ride the Fly LINQ Zipline (ideally before rather than after you've scoffed all those wonderfully Wonka-esque Sweet Sin desserts).

What better way to round out your Las Vegas weekend adventure than with a thrilling after-dark helicopter ride over the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip. The 15-minute experience, which also takes in parts of Downtown, is hands-down the best way to see the Bellagio Fountains, Eiffel Tower and Venetian waterways in all their glory.

Prefer to stick to terra firma? Your Las Vegas pass also includes entry to several of Sin City's biggest shows, from comedy and magic spectaculars to musical tributes and the death-defying acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil.
