Overview
Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world — a neon oasis in the Mojave Desert built on casinos, world-class shows, fine dining, and round-the-clock energy. Beyond the Strip lie red-rock canyons and the Grand Canyon.
Top attractions
The Strip, Bellagio Fountains, Fremont Street Experience, High Roller observation wheel, day trips to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam
Getting around
The Strip is walkable but deceptively long. The Deuce bus and the Las Vegas Monorail connect major resorts. Rideshare is widely available.
