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!

Breakfast at Serendipity 3 Las Vegas
Ginormous. That is the best way to describe how big your entree will be at Serendipity 3. It's huge! Breakfast at Serendipity 3 Las Vegas at Caesars Palace will have you worried about the top 2 buttons on your pants and you'll consider walking around in sweat pants for the duration of the morning. The problem with the food at Serendipity 3 is that it's good. Essentially, if they served you junk it would not matter you would just stop when you became uncomfortable. That is the problem with Serendipity 3 Las Vegas, you don't stop because the food is really worth finishing. My advice is to share!
The Saints and Sinners French Toast Log might intimidate you with its sheer size but step back and examine what you get. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It is a dish that is meant to share with that special person in your life that does not like it the way you do. Two dishes in one, two forks, one plate and soon something magical happens and you are going to the other side. This dish could make a marriage. The french toast is all about compromise. I'll give you some chocolate if you give me some bacon. The French Toast Log at Serendipity 3 could bring together foes and friends alike. I"ll go out on a limb and say that the balance of flavors on this dish could in fact bring us closer to world peace. There I said it!
Have it before all the divorce lawyers get it yanked off the menu because it brings harmony to eating on the Las Vega strip.
