Las Vegas NV, United States of America

Las Vegas NV United States of America

Las Vegas is the largest city in the U.S. state of Nevada. Known as the Entertainment Capital of the World or Sin City, it is located in the Mojave Desert and is surrounded by dry mountains. Las Vegas is famous worldwide for its consolidated casino-hotels and associated entertainment. The city is home to many mega-hotel complexes, each decorated with lavish care and attention to detail, creating a fantasy-like environment. Each hotel has a unique style, there are special sights everywhere, and every hotel has its own casino. Most of the hotel casinos are in the city's downtown area, along The Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is a world of its own. Where else could you go to visit Egypt, New York, Venice, Disneyland, Hollywood, and much more all on one street? The fact is that all the action that Las Vegas is famous for is happening on this one and only street. Bellagio could be considered the unofficial centre of the Strip, one of the reasons being the free displays of musical fountains which go off every half an hour with different choreography accompanied by different music. Bellagio is one of the more stylish venues with a superb flower garden and for those with gourmet inclinations, it offers arguably one of the best buffets in town. The Venetian is another point where one might linger longer due to its fabulous attempt at recreating Venice in the desert. The main square of Venice is filled with gondolas ply the water channels and opera singers entertain their captive audience on board. The opposite end of the Strip is closest to the airport starting with the funny rendition of Egypt with its Luxor casino despite the fact that there are no pyramids in Luxor, but everything is possible in Las Vegas.
