Las Vegas Visitors Guide
From sizzling steaks charred to your perfection, to an invigorating swim in the pool at Mandalay Beach, with waves crashing at your feet, Las Vegas has round the clock entertainment to leave you screaming Elvis's "Viva Las Vegas." Don't plan on sleeping here, there's too much to soak in, from the sun to the spas which cater to mind, body and spirit. Lounge beside French gardens, manicured with citrus and cypress trees and crystalline pools or tour the Grand Canyon, admiring the stratified rock groups in shades of copper, mahogany and burnt sienna. Or, for something to change the pace, visit Lake Mead and stop off at Hoover Dam. Peer over a vertical cliff and watch the foam of spray cascade down years of rock formations. Take a leisurely walk along the Grand Canyon West Rim and witness an image of the Great Thunderbird carved into the cliff of the Canyon by nature. Then, enjoy a BBQ lunch on the reservation at Guano Point.
When it comes to resorts, you'll find everything from Disney-like medieval castles including a moat and fire breathing dragons, to the noblesse oblige feeling of a Tuscan luxury hotel. Or, you may even find yourself in a whole other city within Las Vegas with New York-New York Resort & Casino or the Venetian. Drop a quarter in the slots and feel the surge of adrenalin as the wheels spin, and when you can't pull yourself away until you get one more spin on the Wheel of Fortune, remember, this is Las Vegas too. If you don't leap when the roulette wheel lands on your number, then try your hand at blackjack while in your swimsuit and they even take wet money. You'll find everything from discounts to special offers here, so "let luck be a lady," and blow on those dice.
From the Arc de Triomphe to Cirque du Soleil, you'll discover a visual playground and if you suddenly feel the childlike wonderment of those celestial clusters of chasing lights, don't be surprised. It's all in the magic of Las Vegas. Even the mouth-watering cuisine will leave you recalling that bottle of Pinot Noir served with Chef Michael Mina's exquisite caviar parfait or light truffle cream, and sea bass marinated in Japanese miso.
You like shopping? You won't be disappointed here. Las Vegas has everything from Fendi to Prada. You'll find everything from estate jewelry to the latest Hermès collection of luggage.
If you imagine it, you'll find it in Las Vegas. Walk through Shark Reef, an underwater tunnel aquarium or enjoy a seasonal Botanical Garden.
When it comes to weddings, you can choose from the beau monde to drive-in "wedding chapels." Elvis impersonators are always on hand.
