Las Vegas

Las Vegas’ electrifying atmosphere is fueled by the fantastic luxury resorts along the Strip and the glittering Downtown district. The entertainment scene sizzles with the world’s top performers, concerts, musicians, Broadway shows, and Las Vegas’ famous signature entertainers. But that’s not all — in addition to its legendary gaming and headliner entertainment, Las Vegas is capturing the world’s attention with a new breed of shopping and dining.

Walk the longest fashion runway in the world — the Las Vegas Strip — where the “haute-est” designers and retailers are blended with unrivaled venues such as Desert Passage, The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, The Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, the Fashion Show Mall, and Le Boulevard at Paris Las Vegas.

Like shopping, the Las Vegas restaurant scene is stirring the pot with some of the top names in fine dining. Among the many celebrity chefs who have set up shop are Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Michael Mina, Julian Serrano, and the team of Mary Sue Miliken and Susan Feniger. The result? A culinary jackpot that includes: Delmonico, Spago, Nobhill, Picasso and the Mesa Grill.

Las Vegas is also the playing field for the biggest names in professional and college sports and the stage for special entertainment events. Annually, the city hosts: The PGA Tour’s Las Vegas Invitational, the Las Vegas Bowl, the National Finals Rodeo, Big League Weekend, the Billboard Music Awards and the PBR World Finals.

Outdoor adventurers can take a hike in Red Rock Canyon, rent a boat at Lake Mead, hop a helicopter and tour the Grand Canyon, or grab some clubs and spend a day at any of the area’s 60-plus public, private and semi-private courses.
