Las Vegas - The Entertainment Capital

<h1>Las Vegas - The Entertainment Capital</h1>

<p align=right>by Eric Madsen</p>

<div align=justify><DIV>In my opinion, the Las Vegas area is one of the nicest places</DIV>
<DIV>in the Western US and falling in love with Las Vegas is easy to</DIV>
<DIV>do. This town is "The Entertainment Capital of the World" the</DIV>
<DIV>city welcomes 37.5 million people a year. Visitors love to</DIV>
<DIV>enjoy dazzling shows, five star hotels, first rate nightclubs,</DIV>
<DIV>unique shopping experiences, world class gaming, and plenty of</DIV>
<DIV>Las Vegas coupons. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a lot to see and do besides gambling: You can rent a</DIV>
<DIV>car and visit the desert sights, such as Red Rock Canyon and</DIV>
<DIV>Valley of Fire. A drive from Vegas to Valley of Fire is about 1</DIV>
<DIV>hour and you can return via Hoover Dam. This makes for a nice</DIV>
<DIV>1/2 to 1 day trip, depending on how long you want to spend in</DIV>
<DIV>the Valley or at the Dam. There's Lake Mead, with boat rentals,</DIV>
<DIV>picnic areas, etc. They also offer raft trips down the Colorado</DIV>
<DIV>River. Mt. Charleston offers cooler weather, horseback riding,</DIV>
<DIV>picnic areas, camping, etc. As far as shopping, there are three</DIV>
<DIV>discount outlet malls in Vegas plus several shopping malls. The</DIV>
<DIV>Fashion Place Mall is huge, and is on the strip as well as the</DIV>
<DIV>shopping at Caesars Palace and the huge shopping at Aladdin's</DIV>
<DIV>mall. Las Vegas has excellent restaurants, golf, hot air</DIV>
<DIV>balloon rides and other outdoor activities. And if you're into</DIV>
<DIV>theme parks, some great rides are available right on the Strip.</DIV>
<DIV>If you want to stay at hotels with limited gambling, try Lake</DIV>
<DIV>Las Vegas... just 20 minutes from the Strip but worlds apart. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is also a lot of cheap entertainment. Look in the local</DIV>
<DIV>newspaper ads for two for one coupons and also go to the</DIV>
<DIV>promotion desks at the hotels, ask if they are giving any comp</DIV>
<DIV>tickets. Rio does all the time! Have a great time!</DIV></div>
