Beyond the Casinos: Unexpected Hidden Gems in Las Vegas

27. Explore the Arts District (Any Day)

Even outside the buzzy First Friday event, the 18b Arts District itself is a hidden gem worth exploring. Spend an afternoon wandering through its eclectic mix of independent art galleries, vintage clothing boutiques, antique shops, and quirky bars and cafes. Discover stunning large-scale murals adorning building walls around every corner. This neighborhood offers a glimpse into Vegas's creative soul, providing a much more bohemian and locally driven experience compared to the curated art found in Strip resorts. Check gallery hours as they vary.
