When the glittering lights of Las Vegas come into view, whether you approach by plane or by car, it’s hard not to feel your pulse quicken. In little more than 100 years, Vegas transformed from a dusty desert railroad depot into one of the world’s most celebrated vacation and convention destinations. Call it Sin City, the City of Lost Wages, or the Neon Jungle, but don’t ever, ever call it dull. These days, it’s even difficult to call it tacky or trashy, not when some of the city’s mega-resorts are offering the finest of everything people flock to New York and Paris for – often for a bit less than what you’d pay in those storied cities.
Sure, vice and debauchery can be found in spades if that’s your thing – but so can signature restaurants by the world’s top chefs, posh suites appointed with state-of-the-art technology, thrilling entertainment from Cirque du Soleil and a parade of exclusive headliners, and a shopping experience hard to replicate this side of Fifth Avenue. Oh, and we almost forgot the casinos!
