Las Vegas remains one of the most-visited destinations in the world, with gambling, shops, nightclubs, dayclubs, dining, shows and fabulous outdoor opportunities all available within a short drive.
The resorts are full of lavish stage shows, big-name performers and restaurants by celebrity chefs.
Racing exotic cars, golfing, arcade games and even machine gun lessons can certainly fill a dance card for the typical three-day visitor. Add outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, rock climbing and horseback riding, and most visitors have plenty of reasons to return.
The Vegas Strip is a wonderland of entertainment, casinos, and dining options. See superstar headliners and leading electronic dance music DJs. Catch a Cirque du Soleil performance, or a magic show. The strip also boasts more celebrity chefs per capita than most any other city. See the Bellagio Fountains, ride a gondola or the High Roller Observation Wheel, and snap a photo at the “Eiffel Tower.” Get married in Vegas, one of the country’s leading destination wedding cities, or enjoy an indulgent spa break.
