60 things every Las Vegan should do Spring for the colossal 16-course meal at Jöel RobuchonKayak the Black Canyon from Hoover Dam to Willow Beach. At dawn. Savor.Swim in a tiki drink at Frankie’s. Just one drink — whether it’s a Fink Bomb or a Zombie — is all it will take to make the bathroom gender signs seem reeeeally tricky. And if you decide to enjoy another delicious concoction, find a driver — Frankie’s pours some mysteriously mind-altering drinks in a cavernously dark, fun, hip-Polynesian-deco den. Good times, if you can remember them.Watch Cirque du Soleil’s Mystére. The show that started it all.See Elton John at the ColosseumPlay golf at one of the big, dreamy courses: Shadow Creek, Royal Links, Cascata ... See a show at The Smith Center. (We might suggest Cabaret, June 4-19.) (But probably not Yanni, March 21.)Skydive over the Mojave. Because no proper bucket list is complete without skydiving. And there’s no setting more majestic in which to plummet toward the ground at terminal velocity than the magnificent Southwestern desert. Pull that cord ... now!Visit the outlandish, garish, semi-grotesque bathrooms at the Double Down Saloon. You have to see them to believe them. If you’ve imbibed one of the famous Ass Juice cocktails, a visit to the restroom might not be wholly optional. (llustration by Matty Newton)Drop a bundle at the Forum Shops at Caesars. A really unsettling, second-guess-yourself-tomorrow amount. Here’s the deal: elegant shops, exquisite cocktails, more great shops, exquisite lunch options, more exquisite cocktails, more elegant shops. Rarely do you find such a combination under one fabulous forever daytime sky-roof.Order bottle service at Omnia. Know what it’s like to roll deep.See the city from the sky, on a helicopter trip over the Strip at sunset. A half-hour flight from the North Las Vegas airport takes you all the way down the west side of the Strip and all the way back up the east side, letting you see the rooftops and pools and penthouses while the sun sets and the Strip’s lights come on.Ice skate outside at The Cosmo. Pirouette. Ice skate inside — on a far larger rink with far fewer drunken bros — at the Fiesta Rancho. Pirouette some more.Courtesy of NPSTour Hoover Dam. The only thing better than marveling at a history-changing feat of engineering from on top of it, or from the bridge overlooking it (the bridge itself a marvel), is walking through its innards. Guides deftly explain the historical and geological significance of the dam, the harrowing process of building it, the dashing art deco style, and they drop cool tidbits like this: Every state contributed something to building the dam. Plus, it’s just freaky-cool to be in the dark tunnels of a building that holds back the Colorado River.Commune with Elvis at the splashy Presley exhibit in the Westgate (formerly the Hilton and International). Get a fresh feel for the King, still one of the city’s presiding spirits.Spin atop the Stratosphere. The elevator up is ear-popping and anxiety-inducing, and the view from atop is dizzying and awesome. Stand and gawk, ride the are-you-crazy rides, or, our best bet: Sit down for a drink and a bite and enjoy the rotating view of the valley as the whole place slowly spins the complete 360.Also: ditto for the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las VegasEat the grilled pork belly at Honey Pig in ChinatownAttend the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko Courtesy of Golden NuggetSwim with sharks at Golden Nugget pool. Sure, you’ve got a Strip full of pool parties to pick from, but nothing is quite as Sharknado as water-sliding in a tube through the huge aquarium of sea creatures and landing in the water, where, for a split second, you wonder: Am I in the aquarium with the sharks? Good food-chain reminder, that. Adrenalin doubled; kitsch factor quintupled. Stroll through Broadacres Swap Meet. A north valley staple and usually full of shoppers and revelers, Broadacres is a bonanza of low-priced new and used stuff, upbeat live Latin music, snacks and row upon row of items you didn’t know you needed but somehow can’t leave without. A leather cowboy hat? Check. A 10-pack of tube socks? Check. A couple of 1970s Barbie dolls someone recently found in their garage? Check. Jewelry? Linens? Toiletries? Shirts? A bicycle? A sofa? Check ’em all. Fun exploring.Staycation at a Strip hotel. Which one? Pick one.Ditto Downtown, though here the El Cortez Cabana Suites readily suggests itselfSee Lonnie Hammargren’s collection of collectiblesTake the day-long bus tour of the Nevada Test Site. You need to make reservations through the Department of Energy, and it’s well worth the wait. You’ll ride right into the otherwise inaccessible site on a charter bus, get an amazing set of stories from tour guides while black-and-white videos of the test bombs play in the bus. See Frenchman Flat, Sedan Crater and the Apple II Houses, along with the bunker where the media “hid” from the blasts. Eat your packed lunch crater-side.Navel gaze: Get a lap dance. No? At least check out a strip, er, gentleman’s club. No? Well then at least take in a classic showgirl revue.See a Troy Heard production. The man is the mad genius of local theater, with a flair for wringing demented fun out of weird premises, often musicalized takes on pop-culture favorites — say, the show Full House — that simultaneously honor and implode our nostalgia for the originals. Lovers of creativity, you wanna mind-meld with this guy.Photo by Christopher Smith and Brent HolmesStand at the corner of Grand Central Parkway and Bonneville and contemplate this city’s other architecture: Gehry’s Lou Ruvo Brain Center, the Clark County Government Center, World Market, The Smith Center. There’s something cool and energetic about the disjunctive energy of all those clashing styles that echoes, sans casinos, the essential visual dynamic of the Strip itself.Sit in the Kefauver courtroom at the Mob Museum. You don’t get to get this close to mobster history just anywhere, and you don’t get this close to nationally historically significant buildings often in Las Vegas. (The exhibits are pretty good, too.)Also: The Neon Museum is very coolSo is the Barrick MuseumDon’t forget the Lost City Museum in MoapaEat late-night breakfast at The PeppermillChug a cold one in two iconic bars beyond Las Vegas: the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings and Mountain Springs Saloon near Pahrump.Take it to the mountain. Ski, snowboard, sled, or sit at the Mount Charleston Lodge and remember what trees and snow look like.Pick your numbers. Drive to Arizona for a lottery ticket. At least once, you’ve got to know what it’s like to stand in line for a chance at a $30 million Powerball pot at Rosie’s Den, 60 miles southeast of Vegas. Ticket bought, stay for a stick-to-your-ribs meal and a biker band. Survive the Springs Preserve flash-flood exhibitVolunteer to help a Las Vegan in need: Donate food (Three Square), or jackets (HELP of Southern Nevada), work at a shelter serving food (Shade Tree, Catholic Charities, Las Vegas Rescue Mission), drive an older person to an appointment (Helping Hands of Vegas Valley), or pitch in at any of the countless other community-oriented nonprofits.Watch night plane landings while stretched out on the hood of your car, parked in the observation pullout off Sunset and Gillespie.Read. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, of course — outdated, but still a load of fun. We’ll let you off the hook with Learning From Las Vegas; unless you geek out on architecture theory, life’s just too short. Otherwise, zigzag through the Vegas canon without feeling you need to hit every one: but don’t miss Resort City in the Sunbelt by Eugene Moehring, Sun, Sin & Suburbia by Geoff Schumacher, The Lucky, by H. Lee Barnes, The Death of Frank Sinatra by Michael Ventura and Beautiful Children, by Charles Bock.Watch the Super Bowl in the plush splendor of sports book in Lagasse’s Stadium at Palazzo.Try Slotzilla. Sure, it’s ugly. But it’s also a 1,750-foot zipline that’ll shoot you beneath the world’s largest video screen and above the ma
