The Best Places to Have Your Photo Taken in Las Vegas

From Las Vegas’ most iconic attractions to statues and art you can’t miss, your photo album will be complete after you pose for pictures at these photogenic spots. Say cheese!

Bellagio Fountains

Britney Spears has danced atop the fountains at Bellagio Las Vegas, and they’ve been the background for numerous awards shows. Search out a spot among the many nooks that provide an unobstructed of Lake Bellagio, or, for the best selfie ever, head to the patio at Spago or Lago and snap a shot from the balcony that seems to put you in the center of Lake Bellagio.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Roark Gourley’s Pink Lace-Up Pump is bold and glam—it’ll be one of the most unusual photos you bring home. Take and hour and explore the common areas of this cool property and its many statues, wall and ceiling centerpieces, displays (such as a coffee table made of Scrabble tiles) and more.

Hoover Dam

This wonder of engineering lets you put one foot in Nevada and one in Arizona. Make sure you have plenty of photos to document your visit.

Lion Habitat Ranch

Who wouldn’t want a sweet photo with a lion cub? This ranch, which is home to the lions previously showcased at MGM Grand’s habitat, features lions from three weeks to 20 years old. You can even feed them and be a lion trainer for the day—be sure to get documentation!

Madame Tussauds

Strike a pose with your favorite celebrity—in the music world with Beyoncé, Katy Perry or Lenny Kravitz, with sports superstars such as Joe Montana, Shaq or Muhammad Ali, or with Las Vegas favorites such as the Rat Pack, Elvis, Debbie Reynolds and Siegfried & Roy. There are many interactive experiences along the way, so be sure to leave plenty of time to see them all!

Neon Boneyard

Home to more than 150 neon signs dating back to the 1930s, the two-acre Neon Boneyard features not only iconic signs from the most recognizable defunct properties on the Strip and downtown (such as the Sahara, Moulin Rouge and Stardust), but from businesses from a bygone era. It’s a true look at the history of Las Vegas. Day and night tours are available.

The MSG Sphere

The MSG Sphere is one of the newest venues/attractions in town, and since it first lit up, it’s been attracting crowds in droves. You can catch a great view from anywhere near the Strip, but especially from the road behind the employee parking area off Koval Lane. East facing rooms at

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and Palazzo also have some of the most epic views you’ll find.

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

Installed in 1959, this iconic attraction has since become a beacon for visitors. It’s located on the Strip just south of Russell Road. It was created by a legend in her own right, Las Vegas’ own graphics designer Betty Willis. This is one spot you do NOT want to miss. For bragging rights, have your picture taken on the opposite sign as well, which reads “Drive Carefully, Come Back Soon.”

The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign is one of the stops on the Big Bus double-decker tours, a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour that takes you along the Strip and downtown Las Vegas.
