See and Do
The main attraction here is the Strip, a four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is home to several casino mega-resorts, including the Bellagio Hotel, Caesars Palace and the Wynn. Only in Vegas can you scale up the Eiffel Tower, ride a gondola, watch a medieval jousting tournament and catch a Cirque du Soliel show all in one night. Vegas' allure has also extended to Hollywood, as it is the prime setting for several television shows and films such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Casino and Ocean's Eleven. Whether you are in the need to see a show, gamble, enjoy fabulous cuisine or to get married via drive thru, you can find it and do it all in Las Vegas.
