Overview
Many things come to mind when considering a vacation in Las Vegas – top-name celebrities, eclectic hotels, destination weddings, lounging poolside with a bunch of your friends, and mouthwatering cuisine created by masterful celebrity chefs. With its ongoing 24-hour gambling, world-class shopping and entertainment, this town caters to those hungry for excitement or the next magical Cirque show.
Escape to the desert and hide in plain sight. More than anywhere else, this real-life mirage in the Nevada desert can be whatever you choose. Bake in the sun, or bask in the glow of a neon slot machine. Life’s always a gamble, so why not vacation here?
Take a walk along the world-famous Las Vegas Strip or head out of town and take in some world-class red rock scenery. The choices are endless. Where else can you find an Egyptian pyramid, a Roman palace and a Parisian landmark on the same street? Vegas, baby – it’s where dreams are paved in gold.
