India? No, it's the TAO Nightclub gift shop in the Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. TAO is one of the many "elite" clubs in Las Vegas associated with major hotels. Others on this list include PURE at Caesar's Palace, Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Orange at TI, RAIN, and several more. Check beforehand with clubs as they often have special nights for locals and performance schedules you may want to know about. For example PURE hosts the PussyCat Dolls show some nights.

Bellagio and Caesar's Palace South Side from Bellagio Fountains Pool
Even if you are only in Las Vegas for a day, try to see the Bellagio Fountains if you've managed to miss them on previous trips or if this is your first time in Las Vegas. The fountain show is magnificent, especially at night.
The huge fountains pool - more like a small lake - stands directly in front of the Magnificent Bellagio Hotel. "Nearby" are Ceasar's Palace and Paris Las Vegas, although "near" in Las Vegas can mean a 15 minute walk as the properties are almost unsurpassed in their size and scale.

Woodstock Guitar at Hard Rock, Las Vegas
The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is just off the strip in Las Vegas, and although it's not a "mega resort" Hard Rock has nice rooms, a very hip nightclub called "Body English", good food, and one of the world's best collections of legendary guitars. Pictured is from Woodstock. You'll also find Prince's stylish electrics, a Johnny Cash original, and many many more. Guitar and Rock fans won't want to miss these, which line the casino walls.

Venetian Performers, Las Vegas
Las Vegas has several free live performances throughout the day at several of the resorts. My favorite is the opera at the Venetian, held several times throughout the day with live music and performers.
You'll also find great bands at night playing at many of the bars for only the cost of a drink, though these shows do not compare to the amazing headliner performances througout Las Vegas at all the major resorts. Cher, for example, will soon be at Caesar's Palace. Barry Manilow is at the Hilton, Cirque du Soliel has several performances at different venues, and there are dozens more.

The Venetian
One of Las Vegas' most popular venues, the Venetian offers the splendor of Italy, luxury suites, dozens of restaurants, the Sands convention center, and shows like the Blue Man Group.
Most notable about the Venetian Hotel and Casino is the canal which runs through the property, complete with Gondola rides and singing Gondoliers.
Don't miss the opera show held in the huge open city square near the center of the property.

Bellagio Las Vegas
The Bellagio is a property owned by the group led by Steve Wynn who has his namesake property, Wynn Las Vegas, just down the strip. The Bellagio is beautiful inside and out, with very tasteful but extravagant decor, Cirque de Soliel's "O" show, many fine restaurants, a superb art gallery, and a wonderful and massive lobby display that changes with the season. The Bellagio is even home to the world's largest Chocolate Fountain (to left of the big lobby display). Even if you can't afford to stay here be sure to walk through this magnificent hotel, rivalled only by Wynn Las Vegas and some would say the Venetian / Palazzo Las Vegas properties which are located across from the Wynn.

TI Show, Las Vegas
Most nights TI (formerly Treasure Island) lights up the sky with a fantastic show featuring the Sirens of TI on one ship battling with a ship across the water in front of the mega resort casino along the Las Vegas Strip. Two shows nightly and be careful where you stand because they clear some of the bridge before the show for "VIPs". Check the signs in front of TI for showtimes. It's free, and one of the most spectacular free shows along the Las Vegas Strip which include the Mirage Volcano and the Bellagio Fountains.
