Las Vegas simply put, is a one of a kind entertainment spectacular, 24 hours a day! The water show in front of the Bellagio; St. Mark's Place and the canals within the Venetian; the Eiffel Tower replica at Paris Las Vegas; the lion habitat at MGM Grand Las Vegas; nightly volcano eruptions at the Mirage Las Vegas; the Luxor pyramid; the Roman streetscape at the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace Las Vegas; the Mardi Gras-style Show in the Sky at Rio's Masquerade Village; the view from the observation deck at the Las Vegas Stratosphere Tower; the Las Vegas Fremont Street Experience.

Historically, Fremont Street is where it all began, from a small railroad stop at the turn of the century to one of the brightest streets in the world. For decades, Fremont Street was one of the best places to cruise in a convertible car but now the street has been closed off to traffic and it is a pedestrian paradise lined with kiosks, souvenir shops and, of course, many, many casinos.

Downtown Las Vegas is located a few miles north of the northern end of the Strip. There the casinos are smaller, older and less lavish, but the area has its own theme attraction, the outdoor light show known as the Fremont Street Experience.

If you want to see what there is to do away from the casinos and bright lights, take a panoramic peek at nearby recreational areas such as the spectacular Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Mt. Charleston and the quaint little town of Boulder City, the only town in the state of Nevada where gambling remains illegal.

City residents and visitors alike say there is no place like Las Vegas, Nevada anywhere else in the world!
