Las Vegas Travel Guide |

|
Las Vegas offers many activities for the entire family. Mostly famous for its casinos with gambling and exotic shows, Vegas has no shortage of other activities, including some for children and many that are free. Although visitors can spend (and lose) a lot of money, the area can also be a cheap place to visit.
The city is divided into 2 main areas: The Strip and Downtown. The Strip surrounds S. Las Vegas Blvd., roughly between McCarran International Airport and Sahara Ave. It contains the city's largest and most extravagant themed casinos and resorts. This is THE place to be and gets very crowded at night, especially during weekends and holidays. Not surprisingly, it also tends to be the most expensive area to stay. You can save quite a bit by finding a hotel just a few blocks off The Strip.
The Downtown area, north of The Strip, represents the "old" Vegas, where some of the original casinos were located. Some of them still remain and offer a marked contrast to the extravagance of the huge casinos down the street. But not to be outdone, the area has the Fremont Street Experience, which combines the world's largest big screen with 12.5 million lights and an incredible 550,000 watts of sound to produce an unforgettable experience (for free!).
The city can also be used as a base for exploring nearby areas such as Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Atomic Testing Museum, and Red Rock Canyon. Farther away destinations that can still be visited in one day include the Extraterrestrial Highway (near the infamous Area 51), the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and even Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. Several operators arrange tours to all these areas.
