Around the World in a Day

By Susan Stapleton

No need to pack your bags, Vegas visitors can glide past gorgeous architecture on a gondola and snap a photo in front of a pyramid without ever leaving the Strip. Read on for ideas that will help you plan your global experience. Bon voyage!

Experience the Eiffel Tower Start any tour with a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower Experience, a halfscale replica of the original with a 460-foot-high observation deck offering commanding views of the city.

Be sure to return at night, as the attraction features a recurring light show—reminiscent of the Parisian tower’s. The show takes place every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour, from sunset to midnight.

ITALY Once you’ve had your fill of France, Italy is mere moments away—at least on the Strip.

Roam Through Rome Begin your Italian itinerary with a stop at Caesars Palace. The casino pays homage to the Roman Empire with its statues, columns and iconography typical of Hollywood Roman period productions, and includes a 20-foot statue of Augustus Caesar near the entrance.

Glide on a Gondola Swing over to The Venetian and the Grand Canal Shoppes for a tour of Venice aboard its gondolas, which float down a replica of the canals, complete with singing gondoliers. The resort features design nods to Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, the Lion of Venice Column and the Column of Saint Theodore, St. Mark’s Campanile Tower (where Galileo demonstrated his telescope) and the Rialto Bridge.

PARIS, FRANCE Get a snapshot of Paris at the resort with the same name during your visit to Vegas.

Live in Lakeside Luxury Inspired by the Lake Como town of Bellagio in Italy, the Bellagio features a lake of its own. Luxury, Europeanstyle villas are also on-site, complete with private terraces, for those looking to have an authentic stay “abroad.”

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK Next, spend a day loving NY from the other side of the country.

Grab a Bite in the Big Apple The exterior of New York-New York Hotel & Casino replicates the NYC

skyline of the 1940s with towers modeled to look like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. The front of the resort features a replica of the Statue of Liberty, as well as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Main Immigration Building on Ellis Island and Grand Central Terminal.

Inside, everything gets named for a NYC neighborhood or landmark, and the eateries are modeled after Greenwich Village. In the Village, you’ll want to dine at the sister location of Big Apple favorite, Gallagher’s Steakhouse, which serves dry-aged NY Strip.

EGYPT Finally, transport yourself from the United States to Egypt, without setting foot on a plane.

Take a Picture With a Pyramid Luxor takes its name from the ancient Thebes city in Egypt, and its pyramid replicates the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid in size. At the front, find a replica of the Great Sphinx of Giza, the perfect backdrop for photos showcasing your travels.
