It’s time to celebrate some things we love about Las Vegas!<\/p>\n

There’s a lot to love about Sin City, including all its various forms of sin, but these are a few that leapt to mind immediately. Note: We were going to say “leaped,” but “leapt” just sounds fancier.<\/p>\n

Share what you love about Las Vegas in the comments.<\/p>\n

1. Bellagio Fountains<\/h2>\n

Leave this off any top 10 list of things to love and you have to forfeit your Las Vegas card. These traffic-stopping dancing fountains, set to iconic music, have enthralled visitors for years, and we hope the dancing never stops.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
The Bellagio fountains use four types of nozzles: Oarsmen, shooters, super shooters and extreme shooters. Extreme shooters send water up to 460 feet high.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. Sexiest Shopping Mall, Ever<\/h2>\n

Yes, the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is a shopping mall, but man alive, what a mall it is.<\/p>\n

\"Forum
The Forum Shops at Caesars is the highest grossing mall in the U.S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3. Strip Clubs<\/h2>\n

Hey, we waited until number three before getting to some actual sin! Dancers travel from around the world to perform in Las Vegas strip clubs, providing a quantity and quality of entertainment unparalleled in the known universe. Make sure to brush up on your strip club slang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pole
Fun fact: Strippers make more when they’re ovulating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4. Bigass Slot Machine Jackpots<\/h2>\n

Las Vegas remains the undisputed king of life-changing slot jackpots, and the hits just keep on coming. A player recently won $1.4 million<\/a> at Cosmopolitan on Wheel of Fortune. We’re pretty sure it was one of the machines we were playing a week earlier. Not bitter at all. Another lucky bastard won $1.3 million<\/a> at the Cosmo a month earlier. In June, a woman won $1.4 million<\/a> at Golden Gate.<\/p>\n

\"Megabucks\"
The biggest Megabucks jackpot in Vegas history was $39,710,826.36, won at Excalibur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

5. OMG the Food, Though<\/h2>\n

There are so many award-winning restaurants in Las Vegas, they need to invent more awards. There’s something to suit just about any craving, and even if you visited a Las Vegas restaurant every day, it would take a decade to visit them all. Oh, and don’t even get us started about the desserts.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
This bone-in filet at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab is the second best thing we’ve ever had our mouth on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

6. Highest Concentration of Cirque Shows Anywhere<\/h2>\n

Cirque du Soleil has been in Las Vegas so long, it’s easy to take for granted the sheer variety and quality of these outsized theatrical spectacles. Have trouble keeping all the Las Vegas Cirque shows straight? We’ve got this with our One-Minute Guide to All the Cirque Shows in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Ka
If you see “Ka” at MGM Grand, don’t miss this photo op.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

7. Venetian Eye Candy<\/h2>\n

So many Las Vegas resorts feature stunning architecture, it’s difficult to single one out, but we will, anyway. A stroll through the Venetian provides so much eye candy you’re likely to leave with diabetes. In a good way.<\/p>\n

\"Venetian\"
Venetian is gorgeous, inside and out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

8. Fremont Street Experience Light Shows<\/h2>\n

It’s easy to take the free nightly light shows at Fremont Street Experience for granted, but they are a must-do. The hourly shows are free and feature bands like The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Green Day and others. The canopy will soon get a $32 million upgrade, so expect a whole new level of “What the hell did I just see?” Fun fact: The canopy’s LED brightness will go from 700 nits to 5,000 nits, whatever those might actually be.<\/p>\n
