Las Vegas OverviewWhere else but Las Vegas, Nevada would you find a 50-story Eiffel Tower, a pyramid with a reproduction of King Tut's tomb, a roller coaster, a King Arthur-style castle, a pirate's village, and a working volcano all within a few short blocks? Las Vegas is certainly a fantasyland for adults as well as children."The City of Lights" does light up the night sky with so many neon lights that it often seems surreal. Las Vegas is also known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World" for good reason. The nightlife is second to none with the great variety of celebrity headliners like Wayne Newton or Gladys Knight, or variety production shows like Folies Bergere, which is a Las Vegas tradition and has been playing at the Tropicana since 1959. The dining options are as numerous as the entertainment with choices ranging from inexpensive buffets to haute cuisine by celebrity chefs, often in the same mega-resort. Las Vegas Nevada Neighborhoods The Las Vegas Strip and Downtown are the two hotspots in Las Vegas where most of the larger resorts, hotels, casinos, stage shows and nightlife are found. For those who like it a little quieter, there are still hotels and casinos to be found in the north, southeast and southwest areas of town and Decatur Boulevard in Southwest Las Vegas has become a thriving shopping district. Downtown Most of the major hotels and casinos are located either downtown or on the Las Vegas Strip. The main downtown thoroughfare in the heart of "Glitter Gulch" is Fremont Street, five blocks of which is closed to traffic and covered by a spectacular 1,400 foot-long, 90 foot-high canopy. During the day, the canopy provides shade during the hot summer months for pedestrians walking through the open-air mall; At night, the same canopy is the screen for a dazzling show of lights, lasers and music known as the Fremont Street Experience. The Las Vegas Strip When visitors think of Las Vegas, they usually think of the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip runs north to south about four miles, from southwest of the airport to downtown. Most of the showroom entertainment, and many of the major hotels and casinos, are located on the Strip. Written by Carolyn Cagle for Travel USA®, Copyright © 2003
