Holidaying In Las Vegas
Located within the arid Mojave Desert, Las Vegas is revered as the ‘entertainment capital of the world’. The city has a wide range of casino hotels, theatres that host some of the biggest acts on the entertainment circuit, including the world famous Cirque du Soleil. Las Vegas is an ideal destination for those who want to splash out and explore the world famous Las Vegas Strip, which has been included in many familiar Hollywood movies.
Las Vegas has a wide range of casinos and complexes that are known around the world – including Caesars’ Palace and the Stratosphere tower, home of the highest thrill rides in the world, with three to choose from at the top of the tower. Some of these hotels contain replicas of some familiar tourist attractions around the world – including smaller 
versions of the Eiffel Tower and the canal system of Venice.
Las Vegas hotels are built to be spectacular, and many include a defining feature, one example of which is the world famous Bellagio Fountain display outside the Bellagio resort – which puts on a spectacular display to music at certain times of the day.
travelsupermarket.com advises that there is “much more to Vegas than the gambling, although this is the main attraction; there are also the shows, from free shows to lavish Cirque de Soleil productions”. Holidays in Las Vegas are popular with those who want to experience the city, spend a little time in the casinos and to drink in the splendour of the bright lights and bustling city environment.
