The Museum is a landmark in the collection of record-breaking exhibits as an inspiration emanating from the Guinness Book of World Records.3. Guggenheim Hermitage Museum - Las VegasThis exhibition is unique because it is a collaborative effort between the world famous The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and Solomon R.

In 2008, the Museum had completed successfully seven-year tenure and it is expected that it would continue to delight millions of tourists with same cultural experience which was providing earlier.4. Grand Canal Shoppes - Las VegasSituated in Las Vegas Strip, and located between the Venetian Hotel and Casino and The Palazzo, it was opened to the public in 1999. Built on a Venetian theme, it has indoor canals and the visors would be taken in through Venetian Rowing Boats otherwise called as gondola. Gondolas were the major method of transportation used in Venice for centuries whose primary purpose was to carry tourists in rides for a given price. At least two major chains, viz, Ann Taylor and banana republic are located there apart from numerous designer and upscale stores. Another specialty of the mall is the live performances that are spread over the entire mall. The mall is a must visit for the tourists as it can be attested by the fact that as of 2008, it had recorded not less than 20 million footprints which is 'the' highest for entire USA.5. Fountains of Bellagio, Las VegasLocated at Las Vegas Blvd in Las Vegas Strip, it is touted as the best 'free show' in the city. The show is conducted round the year every 30 minutes from 3.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. and once in 15 minutes from 8.00 p.m. and 12.00 a.m. It can make one romantic especially if the accompanying visitor is also one for such an occasion and its outstanding feature is its perfect blending of water with music. Music enthusiasts equally adept in dancing would love the best in choreography and the synchronization where fountains dance to the music. From one of the restaurants or the lounge, the tourists could get a bird’s eye view of the Eiffel Tower across the street. In order to enjoy a hands on experience of that virtual music get on to "Vegas" music and watch the fountains dancing with disbelief though your own eyes.6.

It provides a total experience to the visitors and shoppers with its 160 or so boutiques and shops, 13 restaurants and specialty food marts. An additional premium retail space of 1,75,000 sq ft has been added in the recent past which extends the mall to the Las Vegas Boulevard and its grand pedestrian plaza that creates the signature for the Forum Shops. Situated at the intersection of the Las Vegas strip and Flamingo Road and located inside Casers Palace, with a facility for Valet parking, it is open between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Thursdays to Sundays and 10 a.m. to midnight on Fridays to Saturdays.
