Las Vegas is much more than jangling one arm bandits, and noisy
casinos. Seriously, there is so much more to do than gamble and
eat from mile-long buffet tables. Las Vegas is home to the some
of the finest nightlife, shopping, attractions, and golf courses
in the world.
Your entertainment options are unlimited in this city known as
"America's Playground". There are thrilling roller coasters,
dolphin and magic shows, and street shows such as Treasure
Island's life-like pirate battle. You can even tour Egypt in a
simulated ride. There are places to bowl, enjoy a leisurely spa,
shop 'til you drop, and even get married. The possibilities are
almost overwhelming, so make sure to plan, or have some sort of
idea what you would like to see and do while you are there.
You will definitely want to put a trip to Fremont Street on your
itinerary. Fremont Street is located in the heart of downtown
Las Vegas and is a short stroll from many hotels or you can ride
the public transportation which is extremely clean and passenger
friendly. Look overhead as you walk the 4 block long Fremont
Street Experience and you will be awed by the over 2.1 million
lights and the state-of-the-art sound system in the canopy
constructed 90 feet over street level.
If you are vacationing and wanting to spoil yourself, then you
have come to the perfect place. Many of the spas offer fitness
centers. In addition you can treat yourself to facials,
massages, body wraps, saunas, heated whirlpools, steam rooms and
other treatments, including tanning.
Don't dare miss the fountains at Bellagio. It is one of the most
spectacular and memorable sights in Las Vegas or maybe even the
world! You will be mesmerized as the water takes on a life all
it's own and dances in perfect synchronization to broadway
favorites and opera and everything thing else in between. Best
of all this show is also free.
While you are at Bellagio, make time to tour their gardens. You
will feel yourself relax, as you enter this tranquil oasis. With
over 85,000 square foot of space the conservatory has 1,200
exotic plants and flowers such as orchids and lilies. Every
month, the fragrant displays are changed to keep the scenery
fresh.
On May 15, 2005, Las Vegas will be celebrating its 100th
Birthday! It's an historic event that has something to offer
everyone. The Centennial Celebration Committee has promised to
commemorate the 100th birthday by hosting a birthday party
that’s bigger and brighter than the neon lights on the Las Vegas
Strip! The party actually started on December 31, 2004 and will
last for more than a year.
With all the resorts competing for your business, you will be
able to find cheap or at least heavy discounts on rooms and
meals. Seniors and students can find special airfare and
accomodations to suit their budgets. Las Vegas is resort whereby
you can spend as much or as little as you want and have a great
experience.
Daytime or nightime, Las Vegas is a wonderful place to bring the
whole family to vacation or just get away with someone special.
And with the BIG Centennnial planned, what better time than the
present?
