What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!
Welcome to Vegas baby! Sin City is a year-round destination for gamblers, convention attendees, bachelors and bachelorettes, and families who want to relax and enjoy their time in one of 62,000 hotel rooms lined along the city's infamous Strip.
Nothing can prepare you for your first trip to Las Vegas. It is the one place on Earth where the city never sleeps as it is commonly known as "sin city." And that rings true each time one returns to the city that's constantly reinventing itself.
Vegas is often known for its flashing neon lights, luxury casinos and gambling. And it's likely the number one reason most people come to Vegas. Truth be told, there's so much more to see and do that even for non-gamblers and those with families, Vegas is well worth the trip.
There is more to Vegas than just Las Vegas Boulevard, a section known to many as "The Strip." Stretching 4.5 miles from Mandalay Bay to the Stratosphere, it is quite a spectacle to see at day and night. Due to the length, location is very important. It is highly recommended to resort in the middle along the 50-yard line of this stretch of real estate.
Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations features studios to four-bedroom grand villas. Luxor provides an Egyptian-themed pyramid styled hotel that reminds you of the remnants from ancient Egypt. The Paris Hotel offers luxurious stunning bedroom suites with king size or double queen sized beds and electric views of its magnificent Eiffel Tower.
Entertainment is plentiful. From a variety of free shows to Cirque du Soleil spectacles and entertainers like Boyz II Men, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Gain access to free shows and events from boosters along the Strip or visit Tix4 Tonight for same day deals and half-price tickets.
Visit the Bellagio's Conservatory and Botanical Garden. Or take a stop at its most popular attraction - the Fountains at Bellagio, a perfectly choreographed shoot of 1,000 fountains that majestically air dances to lights and songs by musical greats.
The Volcano at the Mirage is also a top sight to witness. It erupts every evening after dark spewing smoke and fire 100-feet into the air. It is set in a tropical lagoon surrounded by palm trees and cascading waterfalls.
In Vegas, there is fun for all - gamblers, non-gamblers, party animals and even families.
Shop the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian and Palazzo resorts, or the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace to find world-class retailers like Versace and Armani.
Visit the Fall of Atlantis fountain show located near the 50,000 gallon aquarium in the forum.
Get that "Old Vegas" feel at the Fremont Street Experience located in the heart of downtown. Just one mile north is the Neon Museum and Boneyard that boasts an extensive collection of neon signs from the glory days.
Drive 25 minutes west and you'll stumble upon the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and experience the natural beauty of the Mojave Desert. Visitors can hike, rock climb or enjoy the scenery of this awe-inspiring 13-mile scenic drive to see rock formations.
Another fascinating must-see site is the Hoover Dam, located just 35 miles south of Vegas. One of the greatest engineering marvels of modern architecture, the dam never ceases to impress.
No other city perhaps gets a more deserving moniker than Sin City for Las Vegas. As the city is known for its casinos, nightlife, and wild parties, the whole experience can be overwhelming and if you're not careful, you might just learn the bad side to the saying "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
