Las Vegas travel guide
United States · Top sights · trending spots
Las Vegas was a railway water stop until Nevada legalised gambling in 1931, and the Strip that followed is now four miles of themed hotels in the desert.
The Bellagio fountains run every half hour, the Sphere has turned a whole building into a screen, and Cirque du Soleil holds several permanent shows. It is also the base for the Grand Canyon's west rim and for Death Valley.
