Adventuredome at Circus Circus
Compared to some of the more extreme thrills in Vegas, Adventuredome can seem a bit tame but their Canyon Blaster Roller Coaster and other twisty, turning, and whirling rides are a great way to get your heart rate up without needing to call an ambulance later.

Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix
Located in the northwest part of town, this kid-focused facility has some true grown-up thrills in their high-powered go-karts that allow you to work out your inner Kurt Busch.

Manhattan Express at New York-New York
Winding its way around the outside of the Gotham themed hotel, this wild roller coaster was one of the first in the world to feature the barrel roll drop, where you turn upside down and then dive toward the ground. Yikes!

Richard Petty Driving Experience
If the faux racers at the Mini Gran Prix don’t offer enough horsepower for your tastes, try slipping behind the wheel of the real thing at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Speed the Ride at Sahara
First you blast out of the hotel, do a full loop, pass through the marquee, and then go (more or less) straight up. Then you do it backward. Eat afterward.

Stratosphere Tower Thrill Rides
The three extreme rides atop the 100-plus story tower are for true thrill seekers only. The jolting teeter-totter X-Scream, the sling-shot action of the Big Shot, and the twirling in mid-air contraption aptly named Insanity should require mental health check-ups as a pre-requisite for riding.

$100 Denomination Slot Machines
To heck with the roller coasters; you want a true thrill? Put a hundred dollar bill in a slot machine good for one pull of the reels. Now that’s crazy!

One of the most stunning spas here or anywhere else, The Bathhouse has a fascinating maze-like layout that hides peaceful nooks and soaring lighted spaces to enhance the experience.

Canyon Ranch Spa Club at the Venetian and Palazzo
The largest spa facility in Las Vegas at over 130,000 feet, this one is as complete as they come with luxurious treatment rooms, a rock climbing wall, a full-service salon, and much more.

Qua Baths at Caesars Palace
This luxurious facility offering everything you can dream of including an ice room where "snow" falls on the lounging attendees. I guess that's supposed to be relaxing.

Red Rock Resort Adventure Spa
Yeah, you can get a facial but why not go horseback riding, river rafting, rock climbing, or kayaking first? The Red Rock Resort spa offers a bunch of unique outdoor “treatments” that will probably leave you in need of a good massage afterward.

Ritz-Carlton Spa
Widely considered to be not only one of the best spas in town but one of the spas in the country, the Ritz does it right with a serene, Zen-garden like feel to the treatment areas offering a full line of services.

Spa at Encore
Encompassing nearly 70,000 square-feet and taking up most of the second floor footprint above the casino, the facility is stunning, eschewing the typical spa-minimalist décor and going for something much grander with a gorgeous Moroccan design scheme and peaceful treatment rooms.

Spa at Bellagio
A complete renovation in 2005 turned what was already a beautiful spa into a stunning and huge one at more than 40,000-square-feet. It's got a full line of services including massage, treatments of all types, salon, sauna, and much more.
