Top of the World for dinner was fun. Schedule around the sunset.
NHRA Four Wide Nationals is early April this year. Helo over to the Grand Canyon / Tribal glass overlook was OK; https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/skywalk.htm Hoover dam tour was OK. Lots of local "flavor / flare" though to enjoy.

Follow the strip out of town until you come to all the race tracks. There is LV International Speedway NASCAR track, The Strip quarter mile drag strip and a small circle track (possibly a 1/4 mile). Also located a the speedway you will find Petty Enterprises, the shop where the Shelby Mustangs were made, and a bunch of other racer's shops. Also the air base is across the street and you might see some great planes.

Quite frankly I'd skip out on Vegas and head to Zion!

I’ll put in another vote for the pinball museum, spent an afternoon there and thoroughly enjoyed it.
There’s not a lot of flash or fancy, plenty of that in the casinos or on the strip, just pinball but it’s a great collection- If you’ve never been to the Grand Canyon- it’s worth the ride - Sedona as well |

For free entertainment go to Fremont street, even just watching some of the street performers is cool. Do not wander to far off Fremont street though can get a little shady at night there. I have not been in a while could have changed and beware on the main strip of people trying to hand you pamphlets lol.

I much prefer the CT casinos over twin river. It is alot easier for me to drive north to come home than south from twin river. that traffic sucks

Check out the Hofbrauhaus. It is a German beer garden with live entertainment and a festive atmosphere. It is a fun place to eat and the beer is great. I brought my family there a couple of years ago and we still talk about it. I am going to Vegas next week and will be hitting it up.
