The

and the entertainment or sports venues. You may want a hotel that can offer luxury

Las Vegas (Spanish:
The Meadows) is the most populous city in the state of Nevada, the seat of Clark
County, and an internationally renowned major resort city for the gaming industry,
shopping, and entertainment.
The
city is located in an arid basin surrounded by mountains varying in color from
pink to rust to gray. City elevation is around 2030 feet above sea level. The
Spring Mountains lie to the west. As befits a desert, much of the landscape is
rocky and dusty. Within the city, however, there are a great deal of lawns, trees,
and other greenery. Due to water resource issues, there is now a movement to encourage
xeriscapes instead of lawns.
The Las Vegas Strip (also known as The Strip) is an approximately 4 mile section of Las Vegas Boulevard South in the Paradise and Winchester areas unincorporated Clark County, Nevada, United States, south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of The Strip has been designated an All American Road. Many large hotel, casino and resort properties are on the strip.
The primary drivers of the Las Vegas economy have been the confluence of tourism, gaming, and conventions which in turn feed the retail and dining industries. Several companies involved in the manufacture of electronic gaming machines, such as slot machines, are located in the Las Vegas area.
Las Vegas Boulevard is a major road in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, best known for the Las Vegas Strip and its casinos.
Tourism
The
major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos. The most famous hotels are located
on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these hotels
carry thousands of rooms. There are, of course, large casino areas in these hotels
as well. There are many hotel casinos in the city's downtown area as well, which
was the original focal point of the city's gaming industry in its early days.
Several large hotels and casinos are also located somewhat off the Strip but adjacent
to it, as well as in the county around the city.
Some of the most notable casinos located downtown are on the Fremont Street Experience and include:
Golden Nugget, Four Queens, Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, Fremont Casino,
Plaza Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas Club, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, Golden Gate Hotel
and Casino, California Hotel and Casino
