1. Explore the Vegas Strip
It wouldn't be a Vegas vacation without experiencing the Las Vegas Strip. The accessible tourist destination has wide and fairly smooth sidewalks, allowing easy navigation around town with your mobility equipment. The resorts, casinos and main attractions are also generally accessible. You'll find many hotels on or near the Strip, such as the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Venetian, Excalibur, Westgate, Flamingo, Luxor, Harrah's and Planet Hollywood.
Plus, you can learn about local history and visit iconic museums along the way. The Strip can be quite crowded, especially during evenings and weekends, so the best times to visit are often during the weekdays.
2. Enjoy a Show at the Fountains of Bellagio
The Fountains of Bellagio is one of the most exciting and accessible Las Vegas attractions. The 8.5-acre lake showcases a light, music and water show every 30 minutes and has been dazzling visitors since 1998. More than a thousand feet of fountains sway and move along to music, with water soaring as high as 460 feet into the air.
The fountains have appeared in numerous films, making them a signature attraction of the city. Stages are occasionally built on the lake to host events, musical performances and other events that incorporate the fountain show.
While these shows are visible from the sidewalk along the Strip, a mobility scooter rental can help you enjoy them with ease. Experience the stunning fountain shows and the elegance of Bellagio's casino with a quick scooter delivery straight to the hotel, ready for your arrival.
