City & Place Guide

Where neon dreams, world-class entertainment, and indulgence never sleep.

Las Vegas is a dazzling desert city in southern Nevada, renowned worldwide for its mega-resort casinos, electrifying nightlife, and headline entertainment. The famous Las Vegas Strip stretches roughly 4.2 miles and is lined with iconic hotels, theaters, and restaurants that draw over 40 million visitors annually.

Beyond the glittering casinos, Las Vegas offers surprising depth — from Michelin-starred dining and world-class art installations to natural escapes like Red Rock Canyon just 20 minutes from the Strip. Downtown's Fremont Street provides a grittier, old-school Vegas experience complete with a massive LED canopy light show overhead.

•The Las Vegas Strip — iconic boulevard of mega-resorts and dazzling neon spectacle
•Fremont Street Experience — free nightly LED light shows in historic downtown Vegas
•The Bellagio Fountains — choreographed water-and-music show visible from the Strip
•High Roller Observation Wheel — panoramic 550-foot Ferris wheel above the LINQ Promenade
•Red Rock Canyon — stunning desert hiking and scenery just 20 miles from the city
•The Mob Museum — engaging, world-class exhibits on organized crime history in America

Getting around: The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip connecting major resorts, while the free trams link select properties like Bellagio, Aria, and Vdara. RTC buses, including the 24-hour Deuce line along the Strip, are affordable options. Rideshares such as Uber and Lyft are widely available and typically the most convenient choice for reaching areas off the Strip or heading downtown.

Best time: The best time to visit Las Vegas is spring (March–May) or fall (September–November), when desert temperatures are pleasantly mild and crowds are smaller than peak summer.

Local food: Don't miss an authentic all-you-can-eat casino buffet, a prime dry-aged steak at a Strip steakhouse, shrimp cocktail at Fremont's Golden Gate Hotel, and the city's surprisingly vibrant off-Strip taco and dim sum scenes.
