Las Vegas Travel Guide

las vegas

Not only is Las Vegas one of the country's top tourist destinations, it's also one of the most popular cities for conventions. Las Vegas was recently named one of the five most romantic cities in the United States Honeymoon Magazine, so an even greater number of couples are coming to Las Vegas to get married, while others are coming to the world-class mega-resorts to spend their honeymoon. Las Vegas is also a choice destination for couples celebrating an anniversary or other special occasion.


The Las Vegas Strip Hotels

From a visitor's perspective, Las Vegas is more or less a small town that's fairly easy to get around. Most of the major hotels and casinos are in two areas: downtown and on Las Vegas Boulevard, known as the Strip. The downtown hotels and casinos are often characterized as older and smaller than those on the Strip. While this is true in a general sense, there are both large and elegant hotels downtown. What really differentiates downtown is the incredible concentration of casinos and hotels in a relatively small area. Along Fremont Street, downtown's main thoroughfare, the casinos present a continuous, dazzling galaxy of neon and twinkling lights for more than four city blocks.
