Las Vegas Travel Guide
Las Vegas, Nevada, is always reinventing
itself. As older Las Vegas hotels remodel (which they seem
to do every five years or so) and newer resorts are built,
expect more luxury, including high-end linens, top-notch
culinary experiences and spectacular shows.
Gambling is—of course—still a big draw, but fewer than half
of current visitors go for gaming. Entertainment, including
shopping, night-clubbing, dining, shows and the fabulous
outdoor opportunities available within a short drive, makes
Las Vegas one of the most-visited destinations in the world.
The Las Vegas Strip is fascinating. The only designated
Nighttime Scenic American Byway, neon lights are being
replaced with giant LED screens, but it still may have more
lights per mile/kilometer than any other destination on
earth. The resorts are full of lavish stage shows, big-name
performers and restaurants owned by celebrity chefs.
Bowling, golfing, arcade games and even indoor equestrian
shows can certainly fill a dance card for the typical
three-day visitor. Add in a heightened awareness of outdoor
activities such as bikRead More ... ing, hiking, rock
climbing and horseback riding, and most visitors have plenty
of reasons to return.
Of course, the gaming tables and slot machines accompany
(and underwrite) the Las Vegas spectacles. For many
visitors, the thrill of winning and losing makes the casinos
the most exciting show in town.
Outside of the Las Vegas Strip area, casinos are spread out
around the valley. These neighborhood joints, which attract
Las Vegans in droves, boast some of the best odds, greatest
meal deals, least expensive entertainment and best service
you'll find on a visit to Las Vegas. Community destinations
have had an increasing sense of style and sophistication.
