About the destination: Las Vegas is the biggest city in the U.S. state of Nevada. Often referred to as the Entertainment Capital of the World or Sin City, it is located in the Mojave Desert and is encircled by arid mountains. Las Vegas is globally renowned for its combined casino-hotels and related entertainment. The city is home to numerous mega-hotel complexes, each meticulously decorated to create a fantastical atmosphere. Every hotel has a unique style, with special sights everywhere, and each hotel has its own casino. The majority of the hotel casinos are located in the city's downtown area, along The Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is a world unto itself. Where else can you visit Egypt, New York, Venice, Disneyland, Hollywood, and more all on one street? The truth is that all the action Las Vegas is known for happens on this single street. The Bellagio could be considered the unofficial center of the Strip, partly due to the free musical fountain shows that occur every half hour with varying choreography and music. The Bellagio is one of the more elegant venues with a beautiful flower garden and, for food lovers, it arguably offers one of the best buffets in town. The Venetian is another spot where one might spend more time due to its impressive attempt to recreate Venice in the desert. The main square of Venice is filled with gondolas navigating the water channels and opera singers entertaining their captive audience on board. The opposite end of the Strip, closest to the airport, begins with a humorous depiction of Egypt with its Luxor casino, despite the fact that there are no pyramids in Luxor. But in Las Vegas, anything is possible.
