Las Vegas in the Nevada Desert is a vibrant, pulsating city and the largest playground in the world. It is a community that was created from the wastelands of the Mojave Desert in Nevada specifically to provide a gambling and entertainment oasis. Everything in Las Vegas has been done (or overdone) on a grand and spectacular scale. The Strip or the city centre has some of the largest and most extravagant hotels and resorts in the world. Be it the Venetian, Bellagio, Luxor, Caesars Palace, or Wynn, each is a sightseeing destination in its own right. A must-do is to watch the many shows in Vegas. Our picks include Mystère at the Treasure Island hotel, the “O” show at the Bellagio, and many more. Also not to be missed is a trip to the Grand Canyon.
