Places you should not miss while in Las Vegas
Las Vegas, located in the deserts of Nevada, shines like a dazzling jewel at night when illuminated by neon lights. What makes it a top tourist spot are the lasting memories that visitors take home with them.
A long time ago, Nevada had a deer town called Las Vegas. It was during 1931 that he obtained his first gambling license. Since then, Las Vegas has continued to attract herds of casinos and gamblers. Initial visitors were mostly post-war gangsters, and it later became a favorite hangout for the mid-’60s Rat Pack. Today, it presents a dazzling sight with massive hotels, incredible neon lights, and quirky personalities.
You will find many distinguished hotels in Las Vegas. Traveling along the journey is like traveling the world. The Caesars Palace Hotel takes you back to ancient Rome, while the Mirage has you marveling at an erupting volcano. You can enjoy champagne as you reach the top of the Eiffel Tower, Paris or watch the Big Apple skyline from the New York hotel.
Strip
Right in the heart of this city, a road four miles long is Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as ‘The Strip’. It gained popularity in the mid-1940s. Under the name of Bugsy Siegel, he opened it in 1946 and was named after his girlfriend’s nickname Flamingo. The strip has been featured in several Hollywood movies. Now, it is well known for many of its five-star casino resorts, swimming pools, day spas, and the glamorous nightlife it offers.
bellagio casino
Having had a grand opening in 1998, Bellagio is among the most celebrated resorts in the world and draws huge crowds. Its designer was inspired by an Italian city called Bellagio located on the shores of Lake Come. Its all-too-often-photographed lobby ceiling features an art illustration, Dale Chihuly’s “Fiori di Como.” It is made up of more than two thousand hand-blown colored glass flowers. It is famous for its huge lake and its incredible musical fountains that become functional at night. Ocean’s Eleven, a 2001 movie had Bellagio in the background and made it a memorable sight for moviegoers.
Mandalay Bay Shark Reef
Vegas makes it all possible for its visitors, offering them to experience many of the most dangerous and alien sea creatures by diving into deep water.
The Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino contains the Shark Reef Aquarium, which is home to more than two thousand animals, including a rare golden crocodile and land-dwellers like the Komodo dragon. Without traveling too far or getting your feet and legs wet, you can get an up-close look at endangered varieties of jellyfish, turtles, sharks, and piranhas at Las Vegas casinos.
