Every weekend the interstates, particularly the I-15 from Southern California, are full of cars coming across the desert into the city. The international airport is not far from the Strip and guests can access Las Vegas hotels by bus, airport shuttle, rental car, taxi or limousine. Transport along the Strip is easy with shuttle buses running up and down connecting the Strip to downtown. Many of the hotels are also linked by a bridge or underground which is particularly useful during the sweltering summer months. The Las Vegas monorail runs to the east of the strip connecting the University of Nevada and the convention center. Due to gridlocked traffic on the Strip, guests to the Las Vegas hotels are advised to make use of public transport where they can and avoid parking congestion.
Many of the city's best sights and attractions are part of Las Vegas mega hotels, where the words "hotel" and "casino" are used interchangeably. For example, the fountains at the Bellagio put on a magnificent display every 15 minutes during the evenings and the flower garden and art gallery inside are well worth a visit. The Mirage casino hotel has an erupting "volcano" accompanied by a fantastic light display and a fabulous aquarium. The world's largest gold nugget is on show at the Golden Nugget casino while the up-close viewing of lions is possible at the MGM Grand and beautiful flamingos and other exotic birds at the Flamingo casino-hotel. Across from the Mandalay Bay with its shark reef is Cloud Nine, the World's Largest Land Tethered Helium Balloon offering day and night flights over the city.
Las Vegas hotels are also synonymous with a wide variety of theatrical performances which include strictly adult shows with showgirls, family entertainment such as the Masquerade in the Sky with a carnival atmosphere, the international renowned Cirque du Soleil and fabulous extravaganzas such as the Follies Bergere. Headliner shows and tribute shows are always a great attraction attracting many guests to Las Vegas hotels as well. Nightclubs, bars, pubs and restaurants abound adding to the all-night experience.
The array of Las Vegas hotels is endless with something for everyone. Those on a tight budget would do better to book in during the week when there are big discounts on accommodation. From budget hotels and mid-range hotels to some of the most luxurious five star hotels and resorts in the world, the choice is endless. Located on the strip are famous hotels such as Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, Planet Hollywood and hundred's more. Some more modest hotels and bed and breakfasts are found in the suburbs.
So many other leisure opportunities are offered by Las Vegas hotels. Stunning indoor and outdoor swimming pools with swim-up bars provide entertainment for the whole family while tennis courts, squash courts, fitness centers and lavish spas are the order of the day. Dining options include famous buffets, bistros and gourmet restaurants serving American and exotic cuisine from around the world.
"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" as the famous saying goes and Las Vegas hotels provide guests with the means to let their hair down and escape into the fantasy world. Lavish and flashy, energetic and pulsating, these hotels will have guests returning time and time again.
