Las Vegas is world renown for its casinos and its gaudy super-lighted Strip, Las Vegas Blvd. Suffice to say, if you’re looking to gamble, you’re in the right spot. If you play your cards right, the least you should manage is a plentiful supply of free drinks and cheap eats like you’ve never seen before. But Vegas is not all about gambling - its got amusement parks, spectacular casino shows and a quite an amazing amount of natural beauty within a stone’s throw of the city. You can get tours to Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National parks from here too.
