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.

Fiber-Optic Signs

An increasing number of supersize signs like the one at MGM are appearing on the Strip. Look up at one of these to gain a new perspective on your fellow men.
Fiesta

The decor is unmemorable, but the slot and video-poker machines are considered the most liberal in town. There’s a drive-up sports book – gamblers can place bets without getting out of their cars. Eateries are close to the casino floor, so non-stop gamblers don’t have to take much time out for eating.
Fiesta

From cocktail waitresses in jewel-toned satin outfits to the gaily patterned carpets on the floor, the casino evokes party time.
Film Locations

Do some detective work on where the stars are each day by calling 702 486 2727. This number will tell you the daily casting calls and where filming is taking place.
Flamingo Hilton, Laughlin

The hotel features a large pool deck overlooking the river and Arizona hills, three lighted tennis courts, a wedding chapel, and Laughlin’s largest tour boat, the Celebration.
Flanigan’s Café, Zion

Among the house specialties are salads, pasta, red trout, chicken, Utah lamb, and Black Angus beef.
Fontana Bar in the Bellagio

If you arrive early in the evening, you should be able to grab one of the coveted outdoor seats on the terrace overlooking the lake. It's a perfect location to sip a pre-dinner drink (or 2!) and a front row seat for the stunning fountain display which runs every 15 minutes from 7pm onwards!
Forum Shops at Caesars

The cafés, benches, and slot-machine seats within the shopping complex are good for relaxation and people-watching (see The Forum Shops at Caesars).
Fountains at Bellagio

More than 1,000 fountains perform a water ballet above Lake Bellagio, in defiance of the parched, baking desert that surrounds the city. Soaring as high as 240 ft (73 m) in the air, the cascading water is choreographed to classical music. Bellagio and the other properties in the Mirage group use incandescent lighting rather than neon, which helps make the Italian village surrounding the lake a lovely backdrop for the dancing waters.

The breathtaking choreography of the fountain displays at Bellagio offers some of the best free entertainment in Las Vegas.
