9.    People Watching 
Vegas is the place for everyone, from the wacky to the posh, from the typical tourist to the veteran, and so it is the perfect place to see all types of people in action.  See what everyone is wearing, watch the goofy antics of the bachelorette party participants, see why Vegas is the perfect place to spot the drunks, and see if you can pick out the escorts in the sea of short dresses and tall heels.  Whatever it is that makes people entertaining, you can find it all here.

 

10.    Sirens of TI
Only in Vegas can you see a seductive pirate show right from the sidewalk.  Watch as the sexy Sirens hold an unsuspecting Pirate captive while they dance and perform atop a live pirate ship in front of the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino.  If you’re into swordfights, sinking ships, high dives, and skilled performances, just find the crowd in front of the hotel during one of the four nightly shows.
