Las Vegas is home to thousands of gaming pavilions, dozens of casinos and hotels. And it is safe to say that Las Vegas is home to the largest hotels in the United States, and maybe even the largest hotels in the world. Most of the newer, most prestigious hotels and casinos are located in the southern part of the city centre, near the airport. And even the smallest of the hotels has over two thousand rooms, and a first-class holiday awaits in every hotel room.
No other city can match Las Vegas when it comes to the brightness and luxury of the hotels. Las Vegas can be justifiably proud of its hotels, as it has the most incredible collection of hotels and casinos imaginable. The scale and variety of these monumental buildings, which combine a casino with a hotel, bar and restaurant, will dazzle the most satiated imagination. All the hotels literally compete with each other in luxury, brightness and richness of decorations. For example, on Las Vegas Boulevard, a hotel and casino in the form of a pyramid made of black glass rises, and in front of the entrance of the hotel guests are met by the Sphinx.
On the opposite side of the street, another casino and hotel is a small replica of New York City, with its skyscrapers, Brooklyn Bridge and even a miniature Statue of Liberty. In front of other casinos and hotels, Las Vegas guests can see a scaled-down replica of the Eiffel Tower and Venetian Piazza San Marco. And there is a hotel with an artificial volcano that erupts every half hour! In short, in Las Vegas you can find the most beautiful sights of the world, walking along only one street Strip!
Travellers who find themselves in the vicinity of Las Vegas may have the impression that the city is surrounded by a boring desert. However, it's worth exploring the area to see how beautiful it is! This is where Red Rock Canyon and the famous Hoover Dam with the blue waters of Lake Mead are located. Amidst the golden-sand landscapes, it seems like a true miracle - an oasis of paradise. Also not far from the city you will find the Valley of Fire, striking with intricate patterns of volcanic rocks and huge lava fields. A little further from Las Vegas are the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park, which will also leave no one indifferent.
For those who want to drive around the Las Vegas area and visit these places, there are plenty of tours available. The options of tours can be very diverse: you can get to the most beautiful places by bus, jeep, plane or helicopter. Most often such tours are one-day and not tiring: in the morning you will be picked up from your hotel for a tour and brought back in the evening. The picturesque scenery of the southwestern United States is a great way to switch from the glittering and bustling city centre to the quiet tranquil beauty of the surrounding countryside.
