There are many ways to have fun in Las Vegas! Just to get you some things here are seven ways I found. "Take some Poker lessons, they will be courtesy of the pros with free lessons everyday at 2 p.m." (Daviddow). There are also fake chips to bet with so that you __wont__ have to get stripped.

Also if __your__ a real __risktaker__ then __dont__ miss out __onn__ going skydiving right off the strip at Vegas Indoor Skydiving.

"Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, famous for its hotels, gambling, casinos and 24-hour entertainment."

Also the city is home to many of the largest and most elaborate hotels in the world. Something cool is that the __U__niversity hosts an annual series of concerts by visiting orchestras, hotels, offer big name entertainment and elaborate production shows.
