October 25 marks the start of the Nevada Wild Fest in Las Vegas! This fun music festival and fair lasts all weekend and has something that the whole family will enjoy. The kids will love the carnival rides. Everyone will love the Dock Dogs event where specially trained dogs will be vying for the prize of “Iron Dog” as they leap off the dock into a pool. Hollywood stars, Kyle Masesey, Ashley Argota, and Kenton Duty, will be there to sign autographs. Celebrity chefs from renowned restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip will be cooking up food. Wear your Halloween costume to participate in a safe trick-or-treating atmosphere that the kids will love. The festival is four days of Las Vegas fun that should not be missed!
Spend the afternoon with your favorite celebrities at Madame Tussauds. The famous wax museum features life-like replicas of rockin’ pop stars, dramatic Hollywood actors and actresses, the legends of Las Vegas, political world leaders, signature cultural icons, amazing athletes, and much more! The history of the museum dates back to Paris in 1770. It was there that Madame Tussaud learned to model wax likenesses from her mentor, Dr Philippe Curtius. In the early 1800s, she went to England with a traveling exhibition of her figures. At that time, news was passed by mouth so her wax figures helped carry news all over the country. In 1835, Madame Tussauds established a permanent base in London. Two hundred years later, Madame Tussauds tradition has remained the same. This is definitely a can’t miss destination in Las Vegas!

No trip to Las Vegas is complete without tickets to a show! The Magic and Mayhem Show starring Michael Turco from the 2011 season of America’s Got Talent and Lacey Schwimmer a choreographer from Dancing With The Stars. Turco received recognition due to his unique ability to perform the classic magician illusion of making women disappear and reappear. He also performs up-close box illusions using sleight-of-hand. He doesn’t many fancy production elements aside from the spectacular performances directed by Schwimmer. Throughout the show, Turco shares stories of how he learned simple card tricks and turned them into the fantastic illusions that you will see on stage. This show is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
