Las Vegas Strip
In downtown
Need an energy drink? Take a sip of the Strip instead! A street of non-stop decadence and indulgence, this hub is why Vegas is dubbed the Entertainment Capital of the World. Put on your dancing shoes at The Cosmopolitan clubs, try your hand at the tables at Caesars Palace, and feast on Michelin-star dining. Do it all in a day if you dare.

East of the Las Vegas Strip
1.2 miles from downtown
East of the Las Vegas Strip are more tees and greens. "Tea" off at the Wynn Golf & Country Club, followed by an event at the Thomas & Mack Center. Craving a bird’s-eye view? Take a helicopter to see the Grand Canyon from the sky. Or you can descend into debauchery at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s infamous Rehab pool party.

South of the Las Vegas Strip
6.4 miles from downtown
For a break from the tables, discover the subtleties down south. You can bounce around at the Trampoline Park or treat yourself to some retail therapy at the Town Square Mall and Las Vegas Premium Outlets South.

Henderson

Who doesn’t want to follow in Celine Dion’s footsteps? Head to Henderson, where the diva owned a house on Lake Las Vegas.

Kick up some dust in its maze of hiking trails.

About Las Vegas
Including tips for the best time to visit Las Vegas
Awash with bright lights and neon signs, Las Vegas is a city of fun, freedom and fabulousness – as its iconic welcome sign promises.
Most of the Sin City’s action is concentrated in the Las Vegas Strip – a stretch of road lined with upscale casinos, Michelin-starred restaurants and legendary hotels. You can try your luck at the fabled casinos or check out a show from Vegas’ enviable lineup – from enchanting Cirque du Soleil acts to top musicians performing at its pulsing clubs.
Vegas resorts are designed as entire worlds of their own, complete with casinos, restaurants, spas, shopping centres and activities unique to their theme. Take a gondola ride on the canals of the Venetian, live like Roman royalty at Caesars Palace or experience mythical Egyptian grandeur at the Luxor Hotel. While it’s tempting to spend the entire holiday exploring your resort, make some time for Bellagio’s dancing fountains and botanical gardens, and head to the Neon Museum for an artsy display of retro signage lit up anew. A spin on the 550-feet tall High Roller will give you a glimpse of the world’s wonders, with replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Giza Pyramid and New York’s skyline dotting the glittering city below.
A fluorescent oasis amidst the Mojave Desert, Vegas is surrounded by mountains and dramatic landscapes offering exhilarating activities and stunning views. Hike up Mount Charleston, zipline over the Bootleg Canyon or simply drive through Red Rock Canyon for a respite from the city’s heady energy.

December 9, 2024
We hadn't been to Las Vegas in several years and it has grown even more! We visited during a week that included a holiday weekend and it was very crowded, more than usual. The Blue Man Group at the Luxor was great! It's a good option for anyone visiting. On day 3, we discovered the Deuce Bus which turned out to be a great alternative transportation to taxis along the Strip and to the Fremont Street / Arts district. The Mob Museum (National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement) was interesting and a trip highlight. We did the Distillery tasting and it was great, too! The restaurants we visited were so good - Gordon Ramsay's Steakhouse, and Guy Fieri's Flavortown were the best. We also enjoyed other restaurats at the Paris Hotel, where we stayed. Fremont Street is definitely an experience - a little more like Bourbon Street than the Strip, haha The law enforcement presence was top notch. It was a good trip and we really enjoyed it!

Disneyland for adults and apparently also children since a lot of families chose to go there. Primarily dedicated to party people or people who want to party, huge events, corporate events and the sheer luxury of some hotels is mind blowing. I reckon the monorail should be free and extended.

I love seeing the hustle and bustle of a big city and that's what Las Vegas has! I also love the architecture of certain hotels, like the Venetian and Caesar's Forum. There's also great shopping and lots to take photos of!

December 2, 2024
The Tuscany Suites & Casino was excellent -- large, comfortable room with amenities, very friendly and attentive staff, nice pool (which I didn't use), just two floors (so I could enter and leave quickly), an excellent cafe off the casino floor that was not noisy, and a casino that was adequate in size but not huge or intensively noisy.
We really liked the Jockey Club.
November 25, 2024
We really liked the Jockey Club. We don't come to gamble but to visit a relative, and we liked that Jockey Club had no resort fee. (Although, someone who did want to gamble could go to the casino at the Cosmopolitan without leaving the building. Jockey Club had the best room we've stayed at in Las Vegas at a significantly lower price, and we had no complaints. The central location was also great. There were so many interesting things to visit within just a few blocks, including the Bellagio fountains and Botanical Gardens!
Everything was fantastic.
November 24, 2024
Everything was fantastic. It’s one of the very few places we would definitely go back to. From the car hire at the airport, to the hotel on the strip to the amazing casinos, to the amazing vibe of the place, everyone is out to have fun (on the strip). My wife and I had an amazing time.
