Las Vegas

This world-famous centre of entertainment is one of the most dynamic cities in the world, a sparkling oasis of neon lights in the desert landscape of Nevada. It promises sheer excitement for all who visit, with amazing new themed hotels, star-studded shows and non-stop gambling in the world’s largest casinos. You can win a fortune at the roll of the dice, and then spend the lot in its boutique shopping malls, state-of-the-art nightclubs and bewildering array of places to eat! Las Vegas is also an ideal gateway to America’s national parks, most notably the awesome depths of the Grand Canyon which can be enjoyed on a thrilling flightseeing excursion by light aircraft or helicopter from Las Vegas. The Mormon state of Utah has the biggest concentration of national parks in the country, from the freaky rock formations of Bryce to the pristine beauty of Zion. Elsewhere, there's ancient Native American cliff dwellings to explore, plus the magnificent Rocky Mountains and the geothermal wonderland of Yellowstone, the first national park in America.
