About Las Vegas

A neon oasis in the Nevada desert, Las Vegas is famous for themed resorts, shows and nightlife, with canyons and national parks within reach.

The Strip, a long boulevard of resorts, is the heart of the action, with replicas of Paris, Venice and ancient Egypt, dancing fountains, and observation decks and thrill rides high above the street. Shows range from acrobatic circus spectaculars and magic to concert residencies, and restaurants run by star chefs sit beside lavish buffets.
