NCCO International 
There is plenty to do and see, and plenty of new foods to try, at NACS. But you didn’t fly to Las Vegas just to sit in a conference room. Between sessions and booth visits (find us at C5775, if you’re taking notes), the Strip is only a few steps away, and it rewards people who know where to look.
We’ve been coming to NACS for years, so consider this your insider cheat sheet from industry professionals.
Things To Do in Las Vegas
- Catch a Cirque du Soleil show: It’s touristy for a reason. The production value is unmatched, and there’s a show for every taste, including acrobatics (“O”), dark comedy (“Mystère”), and more.
- Take the High Roller: The tallest observation wheel in the Western Hemisphere gives you a 30-minute, 550-foot lap over the whole city. The views are best at sunset.
- Hit a casino floor, even briefly: No trip to Vegas is complete without a few hands of blackjack or a pull on the slots. Set your limit, have some fun, and move on.
- Explore Fremont Street: Old Vegas has a different energy. You can find everything from free light shows to zip lines soaring overhead, cheaper slots, and (in our humble opinion) better people-watching than the Strip.
Things To See in Las Vegas
- The Bellagio Fountains: Choreographed water shows run every 15–30 minutes right on the Strip. It’s free, iconic, and genuinely impressive.
- The Sphere: The newest Vegas landmark is also the most photographed. Even if you don’t make it to a show, the LED exterior alone is worth the visit.
- Neon Museum: A boneyard of vintage Vegas signage that tells the city’s history better than any brochure ever could. This is a must-see for anyone who appreciates design.
- Red Rock Canyon: Twenty minutes from the Strip and a total change of pace. You’ll find scenic drives and short hikes if you need air that isn’t recycled in the casinos.
Where to Eat in Las Vegas
- In-N-Out Burger: A West Coast classic and a rite of passage. Go once and order it “animal style” to understand the hype.
- Lotus of Siam: Consistently ranked among the best Thai restaurants in the country, this colorful restaurant is worth the trip off-Strip.
- Hash House A Go Go: Portions built for people about to walk eight miles of trade show floor. Insider’s tip: The “farm scramble” is the way to go.
- Raku: A quiet, unassuming spot for some of the best Japanese small plates in the city. Be warned: It gets busy, so reservations are recommended.
There are a thousand things to do, see, eat in a sleepless city like Las Vegas. But whatever you choose to do between sessions, be sure and save some energy for the booth. Vegas will still be there when the show floor closes.
