Las Vegas

Las Vegas Strip

The city of spectacle, Las Vegas is a sight to behold. Billing itself as ‘The Entertainment Capital of the World’, Las Vegas certainly doesn’t disappoint. A hub of shopping, gambling and dining, the city is nestled in the Nevada Desert and is internationally renowned for its casinos – you’re sure to have a whole lot of fun in Vegas!

With the booming world of online gaming these days, people have been flocking to Sin City to try their luck first hand after developing their skills on online gaming sites. This poker craze has made the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas a huge attraction, bringing in tens of thousands of people every year.

Start your holiday in Las Vegas with a stroll along the infamous Strip. The ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign sits at the start of it, so work your way down from there. Las Vegas is more than aware of its own excesses, so it’s key to lose your inhibitions and embrace the artificial. The Strip is home to all the famous hotels and casinos, including Caesar’s, Luxor and the Bellagio, where the outdoor fountains put on stunning displays to music all day, every day.

Exhausted by the infinite shopping opportunities of Las Vegas? Then take an excursion to the breathtaking Hoover Dam on the Arizona/Nevada border. It impounds Lake Mead, and is situated near Boulder City, Nevada, around 40km south east of Las Vegas.

Theatre is huge in Las Vegas, and no trip is complete without seeing a Las Vegas show. However, if you’re after something slightly more out of the ordinary, The Neon Museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying old neon signs. This quirky attraction is popular with visitors who enjoy all things retro.

Las Vegas is like nothing else in the world – you’ll have to see it to believe it!
