The unofficial party city of the world, Las Vegas is synonymous with fun. Fine dining, nightlife and shopping combine with the city’s famous gambling institutions to make Las Vegas a mecca resort for people who want to enjoy themselves.
The Las Vegas Strip is the centre of all the action the city has to offer. It is part of the infamous Las Vegas Boulevard and has the highest concentration of hotels and casinos in the city. These huge venues come to life at night-time with lights and purpose built displays. Some of the largest hotels in the world are in Las Vegas and the Strip is home to approximately 62,000 hotel rooms.
The hotels and casinos are the main attractions, with many of them boasting elaborate entertainment venues where the biggest stars perform. Other activities in Las Vegas include golf and numerous amusement parks and rides.
Shopping is also a popular activity away from the gaming tables and Las Vegas can boast some impressive shopping malls including the Grand Canal Shoppes and Crystals at CityCenter. Las Vegas also has the world’s largest gift shop, the Bonanza Gift Shop is 40,000 square feet of space.
Natural attractions in Las Vegas are few and far between but it is the hub for short trips to see the Grand Canyon, if you want a break from the lights and noise for a little while.
