DK Travel : 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.

Elvis-A-Rama

This huge collection of Elvis memorabilia is said to be worth between $3 million and $5 million. “The King’s” guitars and his 1955 Cadillac are on display, as are such memorable artifacts as his blue suede shoes. Don’t miss one of the five-times-a-day complimentary live performances – but is it Elvis?
Emerald Springs Holiday Inn

The attractive 150-room motor hotel is a favorite with visitors who want to be near the bright lights without overdoing the gaming atmosphere.
Ethel M's Chocolate Factory & Botanical Garden

Fabulous FREE to enter attraction for everyone. See the chocolates being made, meet the chocolatiers and best of all sample! There is also a cactus maze outside. A fabulous and scrumptious morning out in Las Vegas
Ethel M. Chocolate Factory

Take a free tour to view the glass-enclosed, spotless, white kitchens where the diligent candy-makers concoct their sweet creations. Find out what the large stainless steel machines do, and admire the finished confections wrapped in their foil of emerald, ruby, sapphire, and other jewel colors. Every tour participant receives a free chocolate at the end of the tour. Outside the factory is a lovely cactus garden, with plants clearly identified.
Excalibur

One of the first theme hotels (built in 1990), this is still a favorite with children. The legend of King Arthur and his Knights is the theme through the games arcade and on into the wedding chapel on the “Fantasy Faire” floor.
Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet

The Swap Meet is the American equivalent of the European flea market: vintage kitchen appliances, tire chains, home-baked bread, mismatched chairs, etc.
Fantasy Faire

Traditional carnival attractions take on a new excitement with medieval knights racing around on their steeds.
Fashion Show Mall

This upscale shoppers’ paradise is currently being renovated and expanded and will incorporate a venue for fashion shows and other events.
Fatburger

Big, handmade burgers, hearty fries, and a classic 1950s atmosphere make Fatburger Las Vegas’s Number 1 hamburger destination. A rock ‘n’ roll jukebox adds a note of authenticity and old-fashioned charm to the decor.
Festival of Trees and Lights

Opportunity Village, an organization that helps the mentally challenged, raises funds by creating a Magical Forest with 50 decorated Christmas trees. The centerpiece is Santa’s Castle, fashioned by the toy wizards FAO Schwarz.
