Viva Las Vegas

For over 100 years, Las Vegas has been "the meadows" in the Nevada desert, but it was in 1931 that the city began its quest to be the "entertainment capital of the world." Today, you can visit New York, Paris, and Venice in a day's walk, or ride a rollercoaster 100 stories above the ground. For those of you more grounded by your stomach, Las Vegas is a world class culinary destination with chefs like Wolfgang Puck, Thomas Keller, and Emeril Lagasse all showcasing their fare. Or if you fancy pure spectacle, Las Vegas has an array of shows like nowhere else. Enjoy the nightlife "Only Vegas" can provide!
