Places to visit

Las Vegas, as people tell it: a concert at the Sphere for the sound, the Mob Museum, which turns out better than expected, the trippy Omega Mart, vintage games at the Pinball Hall of Fame, the Neon Museum at sunset or after dark, and the Bellagio fountain show at night with the conservatory's garden displays. The Sphere's film alone gets a split verdict.
