The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has a large fake volcano on the front lawn which erupts at night. The show includes fire, water and light and although it only lasts about 5 minutes, it’s worth stopping by on the hour from 8pm to see it.
Whilst you’re at the Mirage, check out the huge aquarium behind the front desk – it’s 53 feet long and crammed with vibrant coloured salt water fish. At last count the hotel says there are almost 1000 of them!Also take a quick stroll through the indoor atrium which is supposed to represent a lush indoor rain forest (pictured above). It’s all placed under a glass dome and has palm trees and tropical flower arrangements which are looked after by 4 full time gardeners. Both the aquarium and the atrium are free to visit.
