Welcome to Vegas, where the dazzling neon maze of the Strip is only part of the story. At RADIUS, we love that spark, but we also believe the real heart of travel lies in unexpected detours, local flavour, and even the quiet moments between the lights. Especially when your adventures include strong coffee, late-night snacks, and lots of smiles. Here’s your guide to exploring Las Vegas beyond the glitz, plus a cheeky reminder that your teeth are along for the ride, so let’s keep them clean yet effortless.
1. Why Las Vegas Beyond the Strip?
Yes, the Strip is spectacular, but the surrounding neighborhoods, hidden hiking trails, cultural pockets, and culinary surprises bring depth, and a digestive dance that calls for oral care savvy.
-
Red Rock Canyon: Just a short drive, these fiery sandstone formations offer scenic trails, sunrise hikes, and sweeping views. You’ll want to smile wide (but don’t forget sunscreen and water).
-
Arts District & Downtown: Local galleries, murals, quirky cafés, murals, and vintage record stores: a true local’s playground with coffee, tacos, and community. (Floss handy!)
-
Neon Boneyard & Vintage Signs: A nostalgic flash of old Vegas, perfect for curious souls. Dry desert air pairs well with water, but keep those gums hydrated, too.
-
Local Eats: Beyond celebrity chefs, you’ll find off-strip taquerias, late-night spots, and hidden diners. Oral cleanup on the go? Totally doable with the right oral essentials.
-
Mount Charleston: A cool, pine scent escape in summer, where the altitude perks up your lungs and your smile.
2. Travel Smile Essentials for a Day Off Strip
When you swap slot machines for sunlit hikes or mural hunts, you'll need tools that move with you, minimally, mindfully. At RADIUS, we’ve made two products that are compact, eco-conscious, and perfect for Vegas’s mix of desert, dining, and distraction.
RADIUS Tour™ Travel Brush

RADIUS Vegan Sponge Floss
