Then, visit the 1946-built Golden Nugget casino, to see the biggest gold nugget in existence, Hand of Faith. In the evening, enjoy live music and a vibrant ambiance on Fremont Street Experience.

  3. Day 3: Thrilling Adventures and Art
    A 30-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon

    Refresh your senses with nature and adventure today. Begin the day by visiting the stunning Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area where you can hike or bike through the natural beauty of desert, mountains, canyons and rivers. In the afternoon, head to the Park MGM hotel to see the impressive art collection at Art in the Park. End the day on a thrilling note with the amazing Cirque du Soleil show at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.

  4. Day 4: Unwind
