• Attractions

  The main attraction in Vegas is the Strip, a four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is home to several casino megaresorts, including the Bellagio, 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. 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.

• Sin City for Minors

  The legal drinking and gambling age in Vegas is 21. Although casinos allow minors to walk through them to shops, restaurants and shows, nobody under 21 is allowed to touch a machine. For the Bellagio in particular, nobody younger than 18 is allowed in the hotel or casino unless he/she is a registered guest. All other hotels on the Strip, however, have arcades and other attractions for minors to enjoy.

• Culture

  The city is practically a culture unto itself, which is why its allure has also extended to Hollywood. Vegas is the prime setting for several television shows and films such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Casino and Ocean's Eleven.
