Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, is an electrifying city where glitz and glamour meet entertainment and excitement. Known as "The Entertainment Capital of the World," Las Vegas offers an unparalleled array of attractions, from its iconic casinos and luxurious hotels to its world-class dining and live shows. The famed Las Vegas Strip is home to lavish resorts like the Bellagio, with its breathtaking Fountains of Bellagio, and Caesars Palace, which hosts a range of high-profile performances and events. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, the Fremont Street Experience provides an exhilarating array of street performances and light shows in a vibrant outdoor setting.
The city's entertainment scene is second to none, featuring legendary headliners, cutting-edge performances, and an array of themed attractions. Catch a Cirque du Soleil show or a concert by top artists at venues like The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. For a unique experience, visit the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel, for stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding desert. Additionally, Las Vegas is home to a myriad of dining options, from celebrity-chef restaurants to buffets that offer a smorgasbord of international cuisines.
Beyond the Strip, Las Vegas offers natural beauty and outdoor adventures. A short drive takes you to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, where you can explore scenic hiking trails and striking rock formations. The nearby Hoover Dam is another marvel, providing a fascinating glimpse into American engineering and offering breathtaking views of Lake Mead.
A fun fact about Las Vegas is that the city’s name, Spanish for “The Meadows,” was derived from the lush springs and meadows that once dotted the area. Today, while the natural meadows have been replaced by neon lights and bustling crowds, Las Vegas remains a dazzling destination that promises unforgettable experiences at every turn.

Getting Around
The Vegas strip covers a wide area, so walking the whole thing isn't quite realistic, though you may easily walk between casinos close to each other. Ridesharing (Lyft and Uber) is quite popular here, though be mindful of their high-demand times and surge pricing.
Taxis, generally waiting outside casino entrances and hotels in a taxi line, are a good option if you want to go from one casino property to another, or to/from the airport. Please note, riders cannot simply hail a taxi, but must get cabs at a physical address.
The Deuce is a public transportation option, as well. Deuce on the Strip makes stops at each major hotel/casino property. Two-hour passes are $6, while 24-hour passes are $8. Riders may purchase tickets right on the bus.
