Las Vegas

---

There’s no place on earth, or any place in the universe, like Las Vegas! Long known as a gaming, entertainment and nightlife mecca made famous by the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada’s largest city has blossomed into an amazingly diverse tourist and business-traveler destination. Las Vegas—or simply “Vegas”—is known the world over for hot gaming action and world-class entertainers and shows. And who could forget about the lavish hotels and casinos (The Venetian, Harrah’s, Caesars Palace, Bellagio, and Circus Circus—just to name a few). With numerous (and novel!) wedding chapels and venues, Las Vegas is also a highly popular destination for the famous—and not so famous—to tie the knot.

Yet, there’s so much more to Las Vegas. The entertainment capital of the world boasts exceptional restaurants with world-class chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Mark Miller, Eberhar Muller, and Charlie Miller (and, of course, those same wonderful buffets), theme parks, fabulous resorts and unbeatable shopping. It’s also home to a major university and an exploding arts and culture scene.

Surrounded by a stunning mountain range, Las Vegas is situated in an arid basin on the Mojave Desert near the southern tip of Nevada. Sunny, dry and mild winter temperatures make Las Vegas and the surrounding area a year-round playground for an endless array of outdoor activities and adventure. Come experience the sights, sounds and sensations of the city where the world comes to play!
