Hundreds of years ago they came for water at a desert oasis. But green
felt tables rumbling with ruby red dice have replaced bucolic meadows
that gave the town its name. The thirst of today’s Las Vegas visitor is for
gambling, intoxicating glitter, sexy entertainment, dining and shopping.
It’s all here in this fantasyland escape where fun, all kinds of it, is the
name of the game.
In Glitter Gulch and on the Strip of casino-
encrusted megaresorts bursting with four-
and five-diamond restaurants, the night is
always aglow. Experience this spectacle of
illumination in a walk past dancing fountains;
a culmination of music, lights and water. Only
in Las Vegas can you see the Statue of
Liberty, the Sphinx, the Eiffel Tower, pirate
ships and Venetian canals all on one street.
Continual events mean that you won’t have to
veer very far for entertainment, and in many
cases it’s free. During the day, attractions abound and you need only look
to the themed hotels; each more opulent or extravagant than the next.
Want a quickie wedding and with Elvis officiating? No problem. You can
do it all in “Sin City.†So dine alfresco, catch a show, go antiquing or
make a date with Lady Luck. Whatever your predilections, the town
assures you: “What happens here stays here.†Viva Las Vegas!
