You’re having a Las Vegas vacation in a few weeks, but you still can’t decide where to spend it. Plus, you’re tired of the regular swimming, shopping, eating, and sleeping you do every single time.

You’re tired of the mundane. You want something new. You want a little twist in your vacation. Tell you what: there’s a little place on Earth where you can find that twist you’re looking for…and it’s in Las Vegas! And it’s NOT all about gaming, drinking, and dancing, too.
Here are 5 cool, twisted things you can do while in Las Vegas:
1. Become a detective
CSI The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada
Someone’s been killed!.. And it’s up to you to solve the mystery. At MGM Grand, Las Vegas, is the one and only CSI: The Experience, where you get to do all the detective work with simulated crimes. Of course, no one really died, but it’s so real you’ll feel like one of the casts of the series CSI. It’s definitely an experience of a lifetime!
2. Float around in zero gravity

Ever wondered what it’s like to be weightless? You don’t have to go to space to feel so. Zero-G in Las Vegas allows you to experience zero gravity within a modified Boeing 727 (on Earth), which means you can float around just like astronauts! And since taking pictures in zero gravity is quite tricky, Zero-G’s crew of experts will do it for you.
3. See and swim with sharks
Shark Reef Aquarium
If you don’t like the sun too much, why don’t you dive into Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay? It’s a great way of escaping from the heat of the sun and a great way of seeing several species of sharks, rays, and fish firsthand. That’s right: first-hand, real-time, and live. You don’t even need to bring your own equipment—the crew will happily provide that for you—just come along and see what it’s like to swim with one of the world’s most dangerous underwater predators.
4. Taste comedy and magic combined

If you’re looking for an exotic twist to your vacation, make sure to drop by the Penn and Teller Theatre in Rio Las Vegas. Penn and Teller are eccentric fellows who have mastered combining magic and comedy. And you get to see them live. These guys have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, and if you really desire excitement in your vacation, make sure to volunteer when they ask for one!
5. Do shopping the fun way

If you still feel like shopping, make sure to do it the fun, extraordinary way! Going to Hershey’s Chocolate World in Las Vegas will definitely not be your ordinary shopping trip, so make sure to hold on to your hats. Here, you don’t just shop: you also personalize, design, and make your own sweets! If you’re a sweet tooth or just desire a little twist in your holidays, this place is a must-see. If you are looking for the cheapest way to go, you can check coupon sites or special promotions for your Las Vegas vacation.
