Arriving in Las Vegas you can be forgiven for thinking you have landed on another planet. A shimmering oasis of flashing neon lights in the middle of the desert, this is the mecca of the gambling world. The main tourist area in Las Vegas is The Strip. Along here you'll find the ever-increasing number of fantasy hotels that the city is now famous for. Each hotel has its own huge casino open 24 hours a day and once you enter, it's virtually impossible to find your way out. With no clocks and no windows, it's easy to lose track of time. To get a perspective of this amazing city from above, a trip to the top of the Stratosphere Tower is well worth a visit.

Whilst in Las Vegas you should try and catch a live show. Ever since the 1950's in the days of Frank Sinatra the stars have been performing at Las Vegas. Today huge names such as Elton John take to Las Vegas to perform. Away from the glitz and glamour of the strip, why not take a day trip to the incredible Grand Canyon. The best way to encounter this breath-taking sight is via one of the many helicopter tours on offer. Las Vegas really is a place like no other!
