Las Vegas is known across
the globe as a paradise for gamblers, so
much so that all its other attractions (not
mean by any standards) find themselves
pushed into the background. The most
populous city in Nevada, Las Vegas was
founded in the first decade of the last
century, and is a major vacation, shopping,
and gambling center. The name Las Vegas is
often applied to the unincorporated areas of
Clark County, especially the resort areas on
and near the Las Vegas Strip.
It is also known as "Sin City" because of
the huge popularity of legal gambling,
availability of alcoholic drinks any time,
different forms of adult entertainment, and
legalized prostitution in nearby counties.
Mind you, Nevada does not allow prostitution
in counties having populations of over
400,000, and it is illegal in Las Vegas and
Clark County. No wonder that the local
government and promoters of tourism wanted
the city to be nicknamed "The Entertainment
Capital of the World."
At a time when it appeared that Las Vegas
was losing its importance, the construction
of the Hoover Dam gave a boost to the city,
and it has never looked back. The spurt in
tourism and the legalization of gambling
encouraged the setting up of numerous
casino-hotels for which Las Vegas is now
famous throughout the world. The economy of
Las Vegas is mainly based on tourism,
including gambling.
The dazzling Strip, from Mandalay Bay up to
the Stratosphere, is the heart of Las Vegas,
and you will find yourself in the thick of
action at the Flamingo Road intersection.
Here's where you will discover some hot and
happening destinations like Paris, Bellagio,
Caesars' Palace, and the Flamingo. From here
you can walk to the Mirage, Treasure Island,
and the Venetian. If you venture north of
Wynn you will find the New Frontier,
Stardust, Westward Ho, Circus Circus, and
the Stratosphere. A journey southwards will
take you to Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur,
New York-New York, and MGM Grand, where the
activities are much more hectic.
You won't be disappointed if you somehow
stay off the Strip as well. It has its own
treasures in the shape of Hard Rock, the
Palms, and Rio. To keep you away from the
Strip they offer you great restaurants and
nightlife, player-friendly rules and good
payouts in the casinos. But, all said and
done, the action is where the Strip is. The
choice is yours!
