Las Vegas… there truly is no place on earth like it.
From the bright lights of the casinos, the sold-out shows and the breathtaking grandeur of the Nevada scenery, for many of us it’s a once in a lifetime experience, if we’re lucky. But what if it were possible to experience the thrills and spills of the greatest city on earth without actually visiting?
We’ve compiled a list of five ways you can have your own Vegas adventure without having to leave the comfort of your own home, so now you can!
1) Live Las Vegas webcams
You’ll be surprised at just how many webcams there are around the city which let you take a glimpse at life in the entertainment capital of the world. Many casinos operate their own cams, and you can even witness marriages at the Elvis chapel!
2) Vegas attractions on Google Maps & Streetview
Google Streetview allows you to step in many of Las Vegas signature attractions, such as Caesars Palace. It’s possible to navigate your way around the reception areas and even towards the slots – all you need is some air conditioning and it’ll feel like you’re there!
3) Computer game mods
If you’re a fan of Minecraft you’ll be in a for a treat – some fans of Vegas (perhaps with too much time on their hands) have created an exact replica on sin city in block form. Other role-playing games such as Second Life also have Las Vegas mods available for those who want to indulge in a bit of virtual reality.
4) Magical Vegas Casino
Log on to MagicalVegas and get involved with casino games so real you’ll believe you were there – with such amazing jackpots on offer you could even win Vegas-style, too!
Stick around for some rolls on live roulette and experience the thrills of putting it all on black! If that isn’t enough, you can try your hand at common draw live BlackJack – but will it be stick or twist?
If slots are more your thing, you can indulge in Vegas-style games such as Triple Red Hot 7’s or Rainbow Riches.
5) Take a museum tour via a robot
Skip the queues and step into the Mob Museum via a virtual tour with Moe-Bot. Moe-Bot, controlled from your computer, will provide you with your very own guided tour and even respond to questions during the 90-minute exhibition.
