Las Vegas is the city of all superlatives. Nowhere else in the world can you travel from Egypt to Venice via Paris within a few minutes! And if gambling in luxurious casinos isn’t your thing, you can always enjoy the natural sights of Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam nearby or explore the Death Valley a little bit further.
Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!
