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.

Avi Resort and Casino, near Laughlin

Native American-owned resort with a large, sandy, riverside beach, video arcade, swimming pool, live entertainment, and 29 spa suites.
Baby’s

This hip club features top national and international DJs in a subterranean setting complete with a vast aquarium. Music ranges from funky hip-hop to California techno.
Bali Hai Golf Club

Just steps away from the Mandalay Bay and Four Seasons hotels, the course features thick stands of palm trees, large water hazards, tropical plants, and flowers in its South Seas design.
Bally’s

Relaxed atmosphere, an olympic-size swimming pool, and large, luxurious rooms, many with good views of the Strip.
Bally’s Avenue Shoppes

Shoppers enter Bally’s Avenue Shoppes by way of Bally’s Plaza, a space-age fantasy of palm trees, fountains, and neon columns. In between visiting the two dozen or so clothes shops and art galleries, you can keep tabs on the latest scores in sporting events around the world at The Race and Sports Book. The ice-cream parlor is a delight.
Baseball

Watch the Las Vegas 51s on their home ground.
Bears

Black bears are occasionally seen on the higher plateaus at Zion, but both they and grizzlies have long since disappeared from the Grand Canyon area, and no bears are known to live in the mountains surrounding Death Valley.
Beef Jerky Store

Smoked salmon, roasted soybeans, dried plums, glazed apricots, and biscotti are sold alongside dozens of varieties of jerky (sun-dried meat).
Bell, Book, & Candle

Talismans, crystal balls, tarot cards, and other soothsayers’ tools. Witchcraft lessons, too.
Bellagio

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