If you've been to a water park before, you'll need no persuading to spend a half-day at Wet'n'Wild , immediately south of the Sahara ; if you haven't, you're in for a real treat. The ideal place to cool off during the long hot Las Vegas summer, or release the tension you've accumulated at the gaming tables, it offers an exhilarating array of flumes and chutes, plus a huge wave pool. Having paid the hefty admission fee - look beforehand for discount coupons in local magazines - you're free to pad around in your swimsuit for the rest of the day, repeating your favorite rides until the novelty wears off. Stand-outs include the seven-story Der Stuka plummet; Bomb Bay , in which the floor suddenly gives way to drop you 76 feet; and the Black Hole , a flume ride through interstellar darkness that's reminiscent of Disney's Space Mountain . Lines are longest during school vacations.
