Often referred to as "The Jewel of the Desert," Las Vegas has long been recognized as the entertainment vacation capital of the country. At its heart, the Las Vegas Strip sparkles like no other place on earth. Millions of visitors from around the world are drawn to the lights of the Strip each year to experience its unique blend of lavishly landscaped resorts, world-class entertainment, and exciting nightlife. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll find an ideal adventure along the Las Vegas Strip.
Enjoy the byway from the driver’s seat, or experience the Strip firsthand. While you can see the bright colors of the Strip during the day, the real magic happens when the sun sets and thousands of lights bring this stretch of road to life. The Las Vegas Strip is the only byway that’s more scenic at night than during the day, so you just might want to make your trip at night. In fact, you can travel the “Neon Trail” 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, for a fascinating foray past spectacular resorts featuring a variety of visual delights.
See what life is like under the sea at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on the south end of the byway. The resort features a 1.6-million-gallon aquarium where you can see sharks, jellyfish, golden crocodiles, and other fascinating water-dwellers. For more awe-inspiring sights, take the free air-conditioned tram from Mandalay Bay to the Castle at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Travel back to the Middle Ages and become a spectator in the “Tournament of Kings” show. Eat dinner with your fingers while watching hand-to-hand combat, jousting, and more. Cross Tropicana Avenue and take a heart-stopping ride on the rollercoaster at Las Vegas’ “Greatest Little City” -- the New York New York™ Hotel & Casino Resort. For something a little more relaxed, travel a mile north and enjoy a carefully choreographed ballet of water from the fountains of the Bellagio®. If you prefer fire to water, stop by the Mirage and marvel at a volcano that spews fireballs 16 feet into the night! Right next door, watch as pirates are lured into a cove by haunting melodies at the “Sirens of TI®” show at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
Haven’t had your fill of thrills? Then don’t miss “Insanity – The Ride” at the top of the Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Grab onto your seat restraints as you spin at speeds up to 3 ‘G’s, suspended by a mechanical arm 900 feet over the city. Other thrills await you at the top of the Stratosphere – if you dare. If you’d like to see a gorgeous city panorama and not risk losing your dinner, dine on Dinner in the Sky. This astounding attraction has dazzled audiences in many locations all over the world and now you can experience it in Vegas. Sit safely secured on a platform as a crane lifts you, your table, chefs, and entertainers 160 feet into the air. Enjoy a scrumptious dinner and take in 360 degrees of the scenic splendor of Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Strip is truly a one-of-a kind destination, famous for fantastic sights and sounds and out-of-this-world activities. From glamour to glitz, excitement to relaxation, and everything in between, you’ll find the adventure of a lifetime on this dazzling road.
