Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) Travel Guide – Sightseeing, Hotel, Restaurant & Shopping Highlights (Illustrated) by Katherine Higgins

Description

In the arid, unforgiving Mojave Desert lies an epic city that shines like gold against the radiant horizon. This extraordinary oasis is Las Vegas, Spanish for “The Meadows.” It is an international mecca of entertainment located in the western United States. Since the 1950s and before it has heralded itself as the world's premiere resort for shopping, gambling, nightlife, and letting loose. Famously, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” (or it is supposed to, Prince Harry may not agree!) and the spectacular city has been a place to escape from the humdrum of everyday life. It is home to nineteen of the world's twenty-five largest hotels, and sees an annual influx of 37 million visitors per year on average.

The city is ultimately a theme park for adults, and the skyline alone is worthy of recognition, with a mosaic of lifelike replicas of international sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and the Statue of Liberty blending into one. It's a glittering metropolis of casinos, concert venues, and ostentatious luxury that you'll have to see to believe. Also, except for the most popular spots like Caesar's Palace and the MGM Grand, the scenery is constantly changing. In Las Vegas it's out with the old, in with the new.

Las Vegas is a place where anything goes, where you can lose yourself to the lights, the sounds, the fun of the famous strip. You can be dazzled by tigers, mesmerized by dancers, or lose too much of your money then to win it back again. With all this excitement, it's no wonder Las Vegas is one of the most visited places on earth.
