Some Las Vegas hotels have pretty cool front yards. Bellagio has its iconic fountains and The Venetian has its faux canals. And while those sights are impressive, they don’t hold a candle to the original, free large-scale entertainment attraction—the fire-spewing volcano in front of The Mirage. For more than 30 years, the volcano has attracted children and adults alike with its booming explosions, fireballs, faux lava and flames that are so hot you can practically feel them across the boulevard. Suffice it to say, it’s a real blast! Catch it on the hour from 7-10 p.m. nightly.
