City
of the Month – Las Vegas |
 Las Vegas, an ever-changing fantasy-land of a city, has seen unbelievable expansion since it emerged from the desert 100 years ago.
Thirty-seven million visitors enjoy the sights and sounds of Las Vegas every year. They stay in some of the most glamorous, unique hotels in the world. They eat at five-star restaurants and all-you-can-eat buffets. They play at casinos, pools, health spas and golf courses. Sometimes (many times, actually) they even marry each other.
You will be dazzled by Vegas, but the sheer number of things to see and do can seem overwhelming. A little advance planning will help you to enjoy your Vegas trip.

 Accommodation
in Las Vegas
Las Vegas offers many different styles of accommodations: from simple and cheap motels, that will serve as your home base to all your adventures, to elaborate and uniquely themed 5 star hotels on the famous “strip”, which supply all your needs to such a degree that you won’t even need to leave them to have fun.
You can check hotel availability and rates here. |
 Getting
Around in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a compact city with many attractions available in the central area around the Strip and downtown. Transportation options are numerous and varied, from renting to hopping on a city bus, taking a cab or riding the Las Vegas Monorail, one of the most modern transportation systems in the world.
With all of these transportation options, you will still cover a lot of the city on foot since parts of the Strip must be experienced on foot: where else in the world can you marvel at dancing fountains (the Bellagio Hotel), see an erupting volcano (the Mirage), or watch pirates and sirens entertain on ships nightly (Treasure Island)?
Not to mention downtown's Fremont Street Experience, which is a haven for pedestrians.

 Fremont Street Experience
There is always something going on at the Fremont Street Experience located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas on the historic street that started it all.
The world-famous, one-of-a-kind entertainment venue is home to Viva Vision, the biggest big screen on the planet. More than 12 million lights in the Viva Vision canopy and 550,000 watts of concert quality sound pumped to speakers throughout the venue produce an incredible array of eye-popping imagery and heart pounding music.
Viva Vision shows appear nightly on the hour beginning at dusk and are free and open to the public. The giant LED screen towers 90-feet above a pedestrian mall lined with unique retail shopping kiosks and two permanent performance stages. Ten legendary casinos line Fremont Street Experience with more than 60 restaurants and thousands of loose slots.
Free concerts, special events, and roaming street performers entertain the nearly 17 million visitors who come to experience the vintage Vegas attraction each year.

 The Neon Museum
Las Vegas has probably the largest collection of neon signs in the entire world, and the world’s largest mechanical neon sign: Vegas Vic, the enormous neon cowboy that towers over Fremont Street.
The Neon Museum's mission is to collect, preserve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of our international community.
The Neon Museum is active in researching the history of Las Vegas through its signs.
