Experience Las Vegas: A unique travel destination
Wild Casino

When mentioning Las Vegas most people imagine flashing lights, neon signs, and luxurious casino hotels. Almost everyone has come across this notorious city, not necessarily through travel but through movies and popular culture. The saying ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’ might ring a bell. 

Las Vegas is Spanish for the Meadows, but it also goes by the name of Sin City. Probably because it is known for its decadence with various shows and glamourous casinos and gambling. It is the city where you elope to and get married, drunk and in the middle of the night, like Ross and Rachel in Friends. Located in the middle of the desert in the state of Nevada there are also great opportunities to enjoy nature. And even though the pandemic has left its mark on the city it seems like it is looking towards brighter days

The city of gambling and showbiz
Las Vega's biggest attraction must be the casinos and the glamourous showbiz vibe. Las Vegas offers a great number of glamorous and famous casinos. And it provides a very unique atmosphere surrounding gambling and games. Most hotels offer both rooms and casinos.

You can chase the exclusive feeling of settling in a luxurious hotel and spending your nights in their casinos. There is a lot to choose between casino hotels like the Cesar Palace, Hotel Bellagio, The Venetian, and MGM Grand – all offer a good amount of luxury. You will probably spend your evenings' gambling and watching extravagant shows. If the knock on wood, Las Vegas has to close down again due to the pandemic, you can always get your urge to gamble satisfied by visiting an online casino. These options of course also count if you are worried about getting infected with the virus due to the many people and filled casinos. You can also use this online option to practice before your trip to Vegas, which can be a good idea as you are going to be surrounded by people who know how to gamble. 

The desert wilderness
Las Vegas does not only offer the sprouting life of the casinos, but the area around the city also offers plenty of options in the desert wilderness. And if you need a break from the glitz and sparkles of the city’s lights and neon signs you have different breathtaking options. The most popular nature attraction in the area of Las Vegas is probably Red Rock Canyon, which is a beautiful red mountain and canyon in the dry land of the desert. You can enjoy a day trip to this gorgeous area where you can either hike around or you can get a horse ride around. Another great option to escape the decadence of the city and enjoy nature is to go swimming in Lake Mead. In the middle of the desert, it can get pretty hot so why not cool off in a lake with the beautiful scenic landscape surrounding it. Lake Mead is located only thirty minutes from Vegas and is one of the largest manmade lakes in the world.
