Great Things to do this Memorial Day Weekend in Vegas

 

Wet n’ Wild Open this Memorial Day Weekend

The new, $50 million Wet 'n' Wild takes up 41 acres along Fort Apache Road in the southwest corner of the Vegas Valley and will offer 25 slides and rides. The Rattler will be a steep, coiled chute with crazy curves. There will be a wave pool, a lazy river, a toddler pool and a seven-story speed slide, all of which sound remarkably similar to that dear old Wet 'n Wild we loved so much.
