Las Vegas

The Entertainment Capital of the World offers just about everything: the world’s largest hotels; the brightest stars in show business; shops and restaurants that rival any on earth. It’s true, too, that the lights are brighter in Las Vegas. Yet you don’t have to go far from the glamour and glitter to find the natural beauty of lakes and the desert as well.

  • The neon artery of gambling pulses with excitement. Imaginatively themed resorts make it a street that never sleeps.

  • An engineering marvel, the dam not only tamed the raging Colorado River but also created the enormous Lake Mead, providing myriad aquatic pursuits, just minutes from the Las Vegas city limits.

  • The heart of Las Vegas in its early days, downtown’s centerpiece, Glitter Gulch, experienced a rebirth in the late 1990s.

  • Bellagio

    The hotel that upped the ante as far as Las Vegas luxury is concerned. It is well located, too.

  • The ultimate excursion from Las Vegas. Whether their trip is by airplane, bus, or automobile, most visitors say the experience is unforgettable.

  • The Venetian

    The Italian Renaissance revisited. Minstrels and nobility stroll among the Venetian landmarks; gondoliers glide by.

  • Visions of magic lamps and genies in bottles shimmer amid the hotel’s minarets.

  • Not far from the city lights, this escarpment shimmers in the setting sun.

  • The Forum Shops at Caesars

    The glory that was Rome provides the backdrop for the city’s best upscale shops and restaurants.

  • Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum

    Rub shoulders with the stars of the entertainment and sporting worlds, and learn how wax reproductions look so very real.
