It’s adventure. It’s romance. It’s fine dining. It’s dazzling shows. It’s nonstop casino action. It’s heart–pounding thrill rides. It’s Las Vegas.

On the northern rim of the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas once was an oasis for parched wagon trains. Today, more than 30 million visitors from all over the world come to quench their thirst for fun and excitement.

That’s because there’s more to see and do here than any other vacation destination. Only in Las Vegas can you eat in the world’s tallest revolving restaurant, explore the great pyramids of Egypt and win big – all in the same day. Only here will you find first–class entertainers performing within a shooter’s throw of an erupting volcano, a bustling pirate’s den and the Eiffel Tower. Only here can you choose to rest your head in a medieval castle, or ancient Rome, or New York City, or any place in between.

Want to be amazed, astounded, entertained and enchanted by the biggest, the brightest, the most overwhelming conglomeration of recreational activities anywhere? Welcome to Las Vegas.

From the cool waters of Lake Mead in the east to the towering peaks of Red Rock Canyon to the west, the Las Vegas Valley is also surrounded by scenic wonders. In the middle of it all, you’ll find the neon lights of a city that is one of the top vacation – and business – destinations in the world.

Because only Las Vegas combines first–class exhibit and meeting areas with equally impressive resorts, gaming excitement, world-class entertainment and year–round outdoor recreation, more than 3 million convention and meeting attendees gather here each year.
