Top 10 things to do in Las Vegas this summer 3c3ge

It’s understandable to be hesitant about going to Las Vegas in the summer because of the intense heat. However, not only is it cheaper to plan your trip during those sweltering months, but there are plenty of ways to stay cool and beat the Las Vegas heat. Here are 10 prime examples: 10. Dive-in movies at The Cosmo If you are looking for a place to relax, grab a drink and catch a movie, then head to a "dive-in" movie at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. They take place every Monday night at the resort that sits in the heart of the Strip, starting on Memorial Day and ending on Labor Day. ission is free for guests staying at The Cosmo and for children under the age of five. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you can go to the dive-in movie for $5. The movies begin at 8 p.m., and doors open for guests to arrive an hour beforehand. It’s a great way to unwind, having a drink and some snacks poolside while enjoying a classic movie. There's even a Star Wars double feature on 9 July, starting at 6 p.m. 9. Minus 5° IceBar You wouldn’t expect to need a parka and gloves at any point while visiting Las Vegas during the summer. However, at Minus 5° IceBar, you'll be glad they give them to you at the door. There are two locations for this bar in Vegas: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and The Venetian Las Vegas. Both include a full bar, along with TVs and games such as ping pong, billiards and foosball. It opens at 11 a.m., so if there is a day where the sun and heat are just too much to handle and you need a change of pace, hit up the Minus 5° IceBar and forget that it’s probably 95° outside. 5. Las Vegas 51s baseball game It may be outdoors, but this is the final summer to be able to catch a Las Vegas 51s game at Cashman Field. Actually, not only will it be the last chance to see them play at Cashman Field, but to be able to say you saw the 51s play. In 2019, the team will be moving into the new Las Vegas Ballpark, and will be rebranding with a new name and major league affiliation. So, this may not be to beat the heat, but it is an experience to take part in before you are no longer able to. On 7 July at T-Mobile Arena, UFC 226 will take place with some well-known names, and none more important than Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, who will battle it out for the heavyweight title. This fight has been anticipated for a long time, and you do not want to miss out on a chance to see this live. 3. Arctic Ice Room inside Caesars Palace You can have Christmas in July at Caesars Palace, sort of. At the Qua Baths & Spa inside Caesars, you can use the Arctic Ice Room, where snowflakes will fall down on you as you sit in the sub-60° room. It is a room filled with mint-infused air where you can sit on the heated benches and floor. The Arctic Ice Room also includes a shaved-ice fountain and a faux-star-studded sky. Easily one of the better ways to cool off in Vegas. 2. Life is Beautiful in downtown Las Vegas End your summer with a big weekend in Downtown Las Vegas experiencing Life is Beautiful. The event takes place from 21-23 September and is spread across 18 blocks in Downtown Vegas. Last year, there were over 100 performances, including 78 musical acts. Tickets are already on sale and you can start your end of summer weekend with The Weekend that Friday night. There is a wave pool, lazy river and poolside casino at Mandalay Bay Beach. This is a perfect example of how to beat the heat and do it right. You can hang by the pool or stay in just one of over 100 cabanas where you can order food and drinks. The Tank at the Golden Nugget - Las Vegas is a pool experience you won’t soon forget. You can relax in the pool or play poolside blackjack, but if you want a little extra rush, then go down the waterslide. You may be caught a little off-guard when the slide goes through the 200,000-gallon tank filled with sharks.
