Visiting Hollywood From Vegas

If you are visiting Las Vegas then you will get the opportunity to go on a Las Vegas to Hollywood tour. As Las Vegas is only around four hours from Hollywood, a Las Vegas to Hollywood tour makes perfect sense and is a great way to see another famous place that has just as much to do and provides many perfect photo opportunities. Here we will look at some of the amazing things to do in Hollywood that make such tours such a good idea.

Seeing the sign: The Hollywood sign is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, not least because of its inclusion in so many Hollywood films. There's a famous point from within Hollywood where you can see the sign, but by travelling up into the hills it's possible to get a slightly closer view and some better photographs.

The Star Walk: The Star Walk is also a highly famous sight that you're likely to be shown on any Las Vegas to Hollywood tour. Here you will get to see all of the celebrities who have been immortalised with their names in stone – from Marilyn Munroe, Elvis and the Beatles to Johnny Depp and Arnold Schwarzenegger. A great place to get some photographs and to bask in the fame of some of these famous stars.

The Chinese Theatre: The Chinese Theatre is itself a great landmark and one that is home to many premiers and other events. At the same time though outside you can also see where all of the celebrities have made their impressions in the ground and can go around finding out if perhaps you have the same shaped hands as Robert Downey Junior or Sylvester Stallone.

Planet Hollywood: There are plenty of places to eat in Hollywood, but Planet Hollywood has to be one of the most LA of them all and a great place to enjoy the feeling of being in Hollywood while you eat.

Celebrity homes: On top of that many Las Vegas tours to Hollywood will also give you the opportunity to drive past the homes of some of the stars – both in Hollywood itself and the surrounding areas such as Beverly Hills. You might for instance drive past the Playboy Mansion or past Michael Jackson's old home, and either are a great place to get photos and to enjoy living vicariously and imagine you had such an impressive home.

Madame Tussauds: There are many museums in Hollywood, but Madame Tussauds has to beat them all with some of the most realistic wax works of famous celebrities you're likely to come across. So convincing are they that you can take a photo on your camera phone and tell a friend that you met one of the celebrities and they would likely believe you.

Rippley's: One of the other great museums though is Rippley's which features many strange and unexplained phenomena and is a must for any fan of forteana and strange facts. It's possible to get a pass that will get you discounted access along with the Hollywood Wax Museum and the Guinness Book of Records Museum.
