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.

Les Folies Bergère

The longest running show in Las Vegas began in 1979, a century after the Paris production hit the stage. Like the original, the Vegas show is predicated upon glamorous showgirls wearing spangles, sequins, and little else. The production numbers are lavish, the music tuneful. While the first show each evening is suitable for families, the second is topless.
Liberace

Wladziu Valentino Liberace – aka Mr Show Business – opened at the Riviera in 1955 and never looked back.
Liberace Museum

A fittingly flamboyant tribute to the king of kitsch. Don’t miss the customized cars – including a red, white, and blue convertible Rolls Royce – and pianos. Also on display are the trademark capes and sequined jackets, plus collections of objects from around the world, including a piano-shaped ring set with 260 diamonds.
Lied Discovery Children’s Museum

With more than 100 hands-on exhibits, this is one of the finest children’s museums in the western USA. Children can skip along the Musical Pathway, toe-tapping out their favorite tunes on giant piano keys, and can learn about science through entertaining games. Little tots especially love the Bubble Pavilion and Toddler Towers.
Little Church of the West

The Little Church opened in 1942, making it one of the oldest wedding chapels in town. It is a favorite with the stars: Zsa Zsa Gabor and George Saunders, Betty Grable and band leader Harry James, and model Cindy Crawford and actor Richard Gere have all graced its portals.
Lizards

In Zion eastern fence lizards are among 13 local species, while chuckwallas, short-horned, and collared lizards all inhabit the Grand Canyon. Most common in Death Valley is the banded lizard.
Lord of the Dance

This show takes Irish dance to dizzying new heights. Michael Flatley’s variations on the traditional steps make the performances especially exhilarating.
Lost City Museum of Archeology, Overton

Artifacts salvaged from Pueblo Grande de Nevada – now known as the Lost City – before it was inundated by Lake Mead are displayed at this pueblo-style museum. Exhibits include a reconstruction of the village, hunting weapons, and pottery.
Luxor

Its 30-story pyramid and giant sphinx have been Vegas landmarks since 1993.
Luxor Hotel

Named after city of Luxor in Egypt, this beautiful hotel has a total of 4,407 rooms lining the interior walls of a pyramid style tower and contained within twin ziggurat towers.
