When it comes to Las Vegas sightseeing, Fremont Street is a must. On Fremont Street, you can gaze upon the world’s largest slot machine and launch out of it on a zip line. In true Vegas form, Slotzilla goes above and beyond when it comes to thrilling experiences. Guests can either choose to ride the Zip Line (in a seated position) or the Zoom Line (laying down). Either option is a once-in-a-lifetime ride down Fremont Street on one of the most famous Downtown Las Vegas attractions.

If you’re looking to experience the famous Blarney Castle in Ireland without leaving the states, look no further than the D Hotel and Casino. “Kissing the Blarney” is an Irish phrase that implies a kiss of the stone yields great fortune and luck. According to legend, people have risked their lives to be able to do so. Lucky for you, the Blarney Stone is readily available for good luck rubs (which is recommended over kisses for sanitary reasons).
