Welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada.
Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, United States, and a major tourist, shopping, vacation and gambling destination. Las Vegas is the Gambling Capital of the World. What more can be said about the real city that never sleeps, that treats millions of visitors a year, and can cook a good steak at a good price? Only in Vegas, baby! The city has about 480,000 people and the metropolitan area of about 1.5 million people is growing about as steady as the ever-changing skyline. Las Vegas is located in the southern corner of Nevada and is centered between a winter ski mountain resort and a large lake used mostly for boating, jet skiing and camping. The vast open deserts surrounding the Las Vegas area bring high thrills to any off road lover. Too many casinos to name, too many places to see, too much fun. Las Vegas is a treat for all.
Nowhere else can you find a city that has all the amenities that only a complete resort destination can offer: luxurious hotels, fine dining, wonderful live entertainment and state-of-the art convention facilities. Las Vegas is a spectacular city, incomparable to any other. Everything that you would expect from a world-class metropolis, and more, is right here for your pleasure. Las Vegas is a city that has something for everyone. While you are here, make sure to see all the great attractions the city of Las Vegas has to offer. Recognized all over the world, our famous Strip is where tourists can enjoy a walk in the warm desert evening, or take a stroll downtown and view a dazzling light show that spans an entire street - the Fremont Street Experience. You can also get a glimpse of amazing world famous re-creations like erupting volcanoes, the Eiffel Tower and the Sphinx of Egypt.
Las Vegas offers top quality entertainment, attractions, shopping and world-renowned resorts. Las Vegas nightlife will keep you up until dawn and art displays, music and museums take you on a journey from the classic to the contemporary. Downtown Las Vegas offers an energetic display of color with a bit of nostalgia and a glimpse of the future. If you are looking to enjoy the Wild West and our great outdoor recreation, beyond the glamour and glitter of our neon lights, we have plenty to see. There are enchanting panoramas in the Red Rock National Conservation area, Lake Mead National Recreation area and at Mount Charleston. All are only minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.
Although Las Vegas is the largest gaming city in the world, tourism is centered around the casinos (in the center of town ) leaving the surrounding residential neighborhoods virtually untouched by its presence. Have a great time in our wonderful city!

The Vegas Strip Dog at Pink's Hot Dogs Las Vegas
I know what you are thinking. I do. You are saying to yourself, "I wish I was in Las Vegas and able to enjoy such a masterpiece." You are craving a hot dog that packs so much flavor that you instantly believe you can have two more. The Vegas Strip Dog at Pink's Hot Dogs at the Planet Hollywood is that hot dog. It's calling your name and there is very little you can do about it.
Pink's Hot Dogs is a Los Angeles hot dog joint that has opened up shop at the Planet Hollywood Hotel right on the Las Vegas Strip. While you won't run into Vince Vaughn or Scarlett Johansson at Pink's Las Vegas you will get to indulge your arteries with some of the best calorie laden dogs anywhere.
You get choices from a simple naked dog (boring) to a Polish Bacon Burrito Dog (defibrillator needed). Pastrami on a dog, chili on a dog, guacamole on a dog, you name it, they will most likely top your hot dog with it. If you love good junk food that makes you smile, Pink's is where you will find your pleasure. On a diet? Don't show up.
Love tasty, inexpensive, fast food with a great view of the Las Vegas strip? Pink's Hot Dogs at the Planet Hollywood will satisfy you.

Where Will You Watch the Super Bowl in Las Vegas?
Where are you going to sit and watch the game. The Super Bowl is huge and the fact of the matter is that you need a place where the drinks are easy to get to, the food is good and the amount of screens allow you to watch from any angle. The Super Bowl in Las Vegas is an event that you cannot miss and it's not too late to find a Super Bowl Party in Las Vegas.
The art of spending an entire day at the sports book is a finely crafted talent. You have to gauge your consumption of alcohol, time your restroom breaks and keep yourself fed. It's not easy so you need some resources to aid in your quest to watch every game and Las Vegas sports books can do that for you.
This time of year all we really need is a place to sit around and watch sports all day long. A few big screens, some good food, a few beers and some friends. Take that simple formula and add Las Vegas excitement, add in the ability to put a few bucks on the game, add in a server who smiles as she delivers your beer and snacks. Now toss in a room full of people all looking for the same experience and you have Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas.
Sports book, sports bar, lounge and restaurant all combined into one central location where the fanatic can truly enjoy the big games. College football, pro football, baseball and hockey all at once!
What are you doing? There is very little reason for you to be watching any game on that tiny 19 inch box sitting in your living room. Put on some pants, check your t-shirt for stains and then get to the Las Vegas strip for a day long journey into watching sports and having fun.
Do you need to know what is on the menu, I almost forgot, Emeril Lagasse will keep the game day celebration going with the New Orleans inspired cuisine that is perfect for all sports fans. Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas is Heaven for the sports fanatic.
Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Expedia.com and Southwest Airlines Vacations. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.
