Holidays to Las Vegas

Las Vegas is widely regarded as the Entertainment Capital of the World, and Las Vegas remains one of the top holiday destinations for UK travellers. Set in the Mohave Desert, Las Vegas is famous for its opulent casino hotels, fantastic shows and of course its 24 hour entertainment and gambling. Since Steve Wynn opened the Mirage in 1989, heralding a revolution on the then-stagnating Strip, the city has moved at the speed of a neon light. The 1990's saw a flurry of construction projects, as the classic old casinos were demolished to make room for a new breed of resort and painstakingly lavish themed to target a wider audience and attract the family market such as Bellagio and the Venetian.

The result of this period of regeneration stands today, and the hotels on offer along Las Vegas Boulevard (known as the Strip) are truly awe inspiring as each hotel has become a self contained mini-resort.  Since its Rat Pack days, Las Vegas has been inextricably associated with legendary shows and entertainers. Say "Las Vegas Holidays" and it's likely that showgirls in elaborate headdresses and Elvis impersonators will come to mind.

Today, any holiday to Las Vegas still has plenty of glamour (think Elton John!), but has evolved to include so much more. In addition to the iconic Las Vegas entertainment staples, the destination offers a line-up of award-winning magicians, Broadway productions, world-renowned concert headliners and unique-to-Las Vegas production shows. From elaborately themed nightclubs that stay open until dawn to the new wave of trendy, ultra-chic lounges sweeping the Strip - visitors know when they step out in Las Vegas for the night, it will be an experience they won't forget and who knows which A list celebrities might be strutting their stuff in the same night club!

Once known for its all-you-can-eat buffets and bargain shrimp cocktails, Las Vegas has transformed itself into a top culinary destination. Within a decade, Las Vegas has redefined the culinary and wine experience by offering the most comprehensive collection of celebrity chefs and world-class restaurants, more Master Sommeliers than any other city in the world and more wine sold per capita than in any other destination. Las Vegas is a wonderful holiday destination that offers something for everyone and with the sheer number of hotel rooms available there are always fantastic deals to be had to provide great value holidays to one of the most exciting cities in the world.
