Billy Graham Library
Those interested in the phenomenon of Christian evangelism in America will be fascinated (or annoyed) by this multimedia 'library,' a tribute to the life of superstar evangelist and 'pastor to the presidents' Billy Graham, a Charlotte native. The 90-minute tour starts with a gospel-preaching animatronic cow and ends with a paper questionnaire asking whether or not you've been moved to accept Christ today.

Bellagio
Fans of eye-popping luxury, along with movie buffs who liked Ocean's Eleven (several key scenes were shot here) won't want to miss Steve Wynn's Vegas' original opulent pleasure palazzo. Inspired by a lakeside Italian village, the Bellagio is now a classic fixture of the strip, perhaps best known for its dazzling choreographed dancing fountain show that takes place every 15 to 30 minutes during the afternoon and evening. Other highlights include the dreamy pool area, a swish shopping concourse, a European-style casino and the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. Don't miss the hotel lobby's showpiece: a Dale Chihuly sculpture composed of 2000 hand-blown glass flowers in vibrant…

Basque Block
Unbeknownst to many, Boise harbors one of the largest Basque populations outside Spain. The European émigrés first arrived in Idaho in the 1910s to pursue jobs in shepherding and elements of their distinct culture can be glimpsed along Grove St between 6th St and Capitol Blvd. Sandwiched between the ethnic taverns, restaurants and bars is Basque Museum & Cultural Center a commendable effort to unveil the intricacies of Basque culture and how it was transposed 6000 miles west to Idaho. Language lessons in Euskara, Europe's oldest language, are held here, while next door in the Anduiza Fronton Building there's a Basque handball court where aficionados play the…

Art Deco Historic District
South Beach's heart is its Art Deco Historic District, from 18th St and south along Ocean Dr and Collins Ave. It's ironic that in a city built on speculative real estate, the main engine of urban renewal was the preservation of a unique architectural heritage. See, all those beautiful hotels, with their tropical-Americana facades, scream 'Miami.' They screamed it so loud when they were preserved they gave this city a brand, and this neighborhood a new lease on life. Back in the day, South Beach was a ghetto of vagrants, druggies and retirees. Then it became one of the largest areas in the USA on the National Register of Historic Places, and then it attracted models,…
