Posted by monica kay on July 31, 2013 at 6:04 pmi am not a gambler…
so, do any of you guys have any suggestions on fun things to do in vegas other than see shows and pole?
Are there any cool bike trails? hiking trails? yoga studios that i must visit?

I don't gamble either…What you do depends on the time of year. If it's summer then your limited because of the heat. When will you be in Vegas?

Last time we were there we went up the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel. We watched the fountains at the Belagio (i think) from the tower and on the ground. We also went to the Pawn shop that Pawn Stars is shot from (if you watch the show). We visited the largest M&M store there as well. I have read that the Aria hotel has a cool walk through exhibit and each hotel on the strip has something to see at it.
There are a ton of free or low cost things to do in vegas both day and night. Even just walking the strip at night gives you an interesting chance at people watching. If i were to go again, I would eat at the Gordon Ramsey Steak house, which i think is at ceasar's.

There is a beach at Lake Mead and the water is so warm and clear, you have a view of mountains which is lovely. There is no shade so you might want to go in the morning or bring an umbrella. It's about 20-50 mins away depending on where you're staying. http://www.nps.gov/lake/planyourvisit/swimming.htm
Red Rock is beautiful, and has hiking. If you were going to hike you would need to go in the morning for sure! http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/lvfo/blm_programs/blm_special_areas/red_rock_nca.html
Mount Charleston is cooler if you want to see some nature and hike among the mountains, it's only about 20-30 mins away from the city. We head up to the MT Charleston Lodge for lunch now and then. http://www.mtcharlestonlodge.com/#/mtcharlestonlodge/
The Springs Preserve is a neat place, you can see the history museum, ride bike along the path, and learn a lot about the area. http://www.springspreserve.org/attractions/trails.html

I am not a gambler or a drinker, so when I go to Vegas, I like to explore local sights, see shows, go to strip clubs and eat at unique eateries special to Vegas. I quite enjoyed red rock hiking and exploring. Ziplining over Fremont Street was fun. Also enjoyed my visit to Hoover Dam. If you choose to see a show definitely check out Absinthe at Caesars. It is like Cirque on crack–aerialists, acrobats and more + raunchy comedy…it's a hoot and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Have FUN!
