See historical Las Vegas at the Cultural Corridor, home of the Neon Museum and Boneyard, a collection of vintage and restored neon signs that helped Las Vegas earn its nickname, the “City of Lights.” An 11-minute walk down Las Vegas Boulevard, making a left on Stewart Avenue, will take you to the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. At the Mob Museum, you’ll learn of the mob’s most notable made men and the G-men who brought them down.
At 18b, the ever-expanding 18-block arts district, creativity doesn’t end in the galleries. Theaters, clothing boutiques, and antiques stores are just some of the artistic avenues available.
Low-Key or Action-Packed, There Are Events for Everyone
Las Vegas is the place for doctors to experience death-defying activities. Test your resolve on SkyJump, the controlled free fall from the Stratosphere’s 108th floor, or get thrown 160 feet into the air on the Big Shot. At Richard Petty Driving Experience, ride shotgun in a NASCAR race car or get behind the wheel of a Polaris RZR for a drive through the Mojave Desert. If Ferraris are more your speed, visit SpeedVegas, a 100-acre racing complex that’s set to open early next year.
Golf with PGA professionals like Mike Davis at the Walters Golf Academy or Chris Eastman at The Revere Golf Club. Play Jack Nicklaus’ favorite holes at his Bear’s Best course. Or stop by Topgolf Las Vegas, which is scheduled to open in spring 2016 at MGM Grand.
Relax at the newest spa on the Strip, The Spa at The LINQ, where you can listen to jazz, lounge in a eucalyptus steam room, and hang out in the Himalayan salt therapy cave. “With 45 resort spas offering hundreds of culturally diverse treatments and services, wildlife and national parks for hiking and adventure escapes, in addition to the countless dining and entertainment options,” said Ms. Smith, “Las Vegas provides the perfect blend of work and rejuvenation for business delegates.”
After the assembly, you may want to stay in Las Vegas a little longer. On Oct. 19, the third and final presidential debate will be held at the Thomas & Mack Center on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus.
