Viva Las Vegas!

PDF Guide

Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the world with the largest casinos and brightest lights you will ever see. Your first late night flight into Las Vegas can be quite an exciting experience. When booking your flights try and get a window seat on the plane.

Las Vegas offers great cuisine, excellent assorted nightlife, fashion outlets and varied shows from world-class performers. You can experience a taste of Europe courtesy of multi-million dollar replicas. Whether it’s ancient Rome you’re after or the famous architecture of Paris, you will find it all on the Vegas Strip.

Visitors can spend hours just walking from one resort to another, each one with its own theme. A little word of advice - make sure you take comfortable shoes with you as you'll be doing a lot of walking and try and stay in the centre of the Strip, also known as Las Vegas Boulevard. For those of you who don’t enjoy excessive walking you’ll be happy to hear that the resorts on the Strip are joined by a monorail system. When exploring the strip be sure to catch a gondola ride at the Venetian or step back in time to ancient Egypt at the Luxor. Other attractions on the strip include the Lion’s Den at the MGM Grand, the aquarium at the Mandalay Bay, the water fountain show at the Bellagio, and the famous pirate show at Treasure Island.

Las Vegas is also becoming well known for its gourmet dining. Try and experience some of the finer dining in the city while you’re there. This is especially helpful for those of us who get carried away at buffets. Make reservations for the restaurants and shows early to avoid lineups and crowds. And for those of you who like to gamble, yes it’s true, Vegas is open twenty-four hours a day as the casinos never close. It is gambling on a magnitude not seen anywhere else in the world.

Las Vegas is an experience that you should not miss and offers something for everyone including you high rollers!

When to Travel to Las Vegas:
Best time to travel is spring due to cooler temperatures or anytime if you plan to stay indoors. Worst time is definitely July and August as it’s overcrowded and too hot to walk around.

Suggested Length of stay not including flights:
Minimum: 3 days to absorb the spectacular exteriors and see some attractions. Recommended: 5 days. 3 days for attractions and shows at a relaxed pace with 2 days exploring the desert surroundings.

Nightlife:
Lounge lizards will love the extensive choice of bars and nightclubs. Keep in mind that prices are similar to any big city.

Other Activities
Golfing: there are over 30 golf courses within 10 miles of The Strip. Hiking: Try Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead or head for the big one, The Grand Canyon.

Quick Tip:
Don't miss downtown Vegas' free Fremont Street Experience: Part futuristic mall, part urban theater, after dark the canopy of the 5 block street becomes a gigantic audio-visual overhead screen powered by a 540,000 watt sound system – and it’s all for free.
