Las Vegas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Las Vegas (/lɑːs ˈveɪɡəs/) is the most populous city in the U.S. state ofNevada and the county seat of Clark County.[4] Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city for gambling, shopping, and fine dining. The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its consolidated casino–hotels and associated entertainment. A growing retirement and family city, Las Vegas is the 28th-most populous city in the United States, with a population at the 2010 census of 583,756. The 2010 population of the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 1,951,269.[3]
Established in 1905, Las Vegas was incorporated as a city in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, Las Vegas was the most populous American city founded in that century (a distinction held by Chicago in the 19th century). The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs. There are numerous outdoor lighting displays on Fremont Street, as well as elsewhere in the city.
Las Vegas often refers to the city plus some areas beyond the city limits, especially the resort areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip, and sometimes the entire Las Vegas Valley. The 4.2 mi (6.8 km) stretch of South Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip is mainly in the unincorporated communities ofParadise, Winchester, and Enterprise

See what the Las Vegas strip is all about with this gallery of photos of the sights up and down Las Vegas Blvd. The action is never ending on the Las Vegas strip so take a photo tour of the most exciting city on the planet. The Las Vegas strip is where all the hotels and casinos are found.
Need a Las Vegas vacation? You don’t have a lot of time and you probably don’t have as much money as you would like. I know the problem. Is it also a last minute idea? Don’t worry.
