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.

Adventure Photo Tours

First stop on this 10-hour tour is the ghost town of Grafton, where segments of the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were filmed. Then it’s on to the east entrance, the most spectacular entry way into Zion National Park.
Aguereberry Point, Death Valley

High in the Panamint Mountains, the point offers panoramic views across most of Death Valley, taking in Furnace Creek, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, Devil’s Golf Course, and other landmarks. The point is accessible by mountain bike, but you’ll need excellent bike-handling skills to make the climb; there is a 13-mile (21-km) loop ride for those who want to try it.
Aladdin

Fans of the Thousand and One Nights will enjoy the new Aladdin. The adjacent Desert Passage shopping area extends the theme to ancient Arabian trade routes.
Aladdin

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

Hoover Dam day trips are offered, along with tours of the Grand Canyon and Red Rock Canyon.
André Agassi

Born in Las Vegas in 1970, Agassi rose to become one of the world’s greatest (and most popular) tennis players.
Andre’s

Quintessentially French restaurant in a converted house. Coquilles St. Jacques, magret of duck, lobster sausage, and smoked goose breast are classics. Service is gracious, and Andre Rochat presides over the kitchen.
Angel Park Golf Clubs

The Palm and the Mountain, this club’s two 18-hole championship layouts designed by legendary American golfer Arnold Palmer, have been described as the “world’s most complete golf experience.” A night-lighted driving range, 18-hole putting course, and golf school form part of the complex.
Antique Slot Machines

Machines that date back to a little after 1895 – when Charles Fey invented the very first slot machine, The Liberty Bell – occasionally appear on the auction block. Designs range from high Victoriana to Art Deco, and the rarer antique models can cost several thousand dollars.
Aquae Sulis Health Spa

Named for the Roman baths and settlement at what is now Bath, England, this luxurious spa’s traditions are rooted in the benefits of ritual bathing and body treatments. Choose simply to “take the waters” or indulge in a Southwestern hot-stone massage. East Indian Siddha Vaidya therapies are also offered.
