Las Vegas
Las Vegas continues to capture the world's imagination as the destination where anything is possible. With more than 133,000 guest rooms, 9.5 million square feet of convention and exhibit space, award-winning restaurants, luxurious spas, fantastic shopping and unique entertainment, Las Vegas remains one of the most exciting convention, meeting and incentive destinations in the world.
Though Las Vegas is known as the city of sin, in recent years, it has become one of the family-friendliest tourist destinations in the US, replete with theme parks, video arcades, flashy shows, and 24-hour buffets. There is now more to do in Vegas besides gambling: shows, clubs, water parks, roller coasters, and restaurants dot the strip and beyond.
Las Vegas is all about glamour. Crowds of people in polyester pantsuits, big hair and gold chains stare at neon signs and spinning lemons like deer hypnotized by headlights. If you ever tire of tugging on the slot machines, the surrounding area has some of the region's most beautiful scenery.
So sit back, wind down, and enjoy the unspoiled elegance of this natural island paradise.
