Before this day ends with the bright lights of Las Vegas, we'll first pay short visits to other Nevada ghost towns such as Goldfield and Rhyolite. There isn't much left of towns like these, but then again maybe there is. It's fun trying to imagine these towns, in their heydey, and thinking about what brought people there, and then again, why they left. We do end the day with an opportunity to see the bright lights of Las Vegas casinos along the so-called 'strip'. The Stratosphere, Fremont Street, the MGM Grand, the Luxor and Exalibur are popular entertainment and gambling spots in the big city. There is varied sightseeing too, such as the Liberace Museum and the Old Mormon Fort.
