The City of Las Vegas

Las Vegas is located in the Nevada desert, but its many world-famous hotels and casinos mark it as one of the busiest tourist destinations in the world. In Vegas, you can eat a fine meal, attend an excellent show and gamble the night away every day, enjoying a city that truly never sleeps.

Experiencing Vegas

Flying into Vegas, you'll land at the McCarran International Airport. The airport is only 5 miles from the central business district of the city. Transportation to the city from the airport is therefore quick and easy. You can take a taxi right to the Las Vegas Strip, where many of the city's hotels are located, for between $10 and $15.

Even though it's located in a desert, the climate in Las Vegas is a seasonal one. The summers can be scorching hot, with average highs that reach 40°C. During the spring and fall temperatures usually drop into more comfortable ranges, reaching only about 20 to 25 degrees. The winters can get chilly though, with highs in the teens and lows in the single digits.

Most of the action occurs indoors in Vegas. The casinos are split between two primary areas. The older hotels are located downtown and include Binion's Horseshoe and the Golden Nugget. The second area, the Las Vegas Strip, is located just outside the city limits and contains the newer hotels and casinos. Along with gambling, Las Vegas is well known for its shows, featuring musicians, showgirls and world-famous musical performers.
