LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

What a place, never a dull moment. People do not know what sleep means. You just go until you drop!!

Bally's was where I stayed one time when I went. It was great, it has 2820 newly remodeled rooms and suites. Five Superby Restaurants with 56,000 sq. ft of Casino gambling available. Entertainment in the Celebrity Room with Superstars from Liza Minnelli to George Carlin.

Less than a decade ago, Las Vegas was strictly a 24-hour adult gambling mecca, with budget rooms, cheap buttets, lounge acts and 99-cent shrimp cocktails. Remnants of old "Sin City" are there - you can still gamble and eat at all hours of the day and night. but more diversified forms of amusement have flourished in this desert landscape: an exploding volcano, a resinkable pirate ship, roller coasters and theme parks. The Entertainment Capital of the World now offers something for both young and not-so-young players. To attract not only gamblers but everyone to their casino resorts, developers have imploded hotel after hotel, obliterating Las Vegas' short history to make way for newer, bolder and more lavish creations.

What to do: The Strip at night, the Femont Street Experience, Treasure Island's live pirate show, nightly volcano eruptions at the Mirage, MGM Grand Advertures Theme Park, the Luxor Pyramid, the Mardi Gras-style Show and more...

Shopping: After getting lucky at the gaming tables, there's no shortage of souvenir shops and other stores to help you spend your winnings

Sightseeing: Tourists find themselves so awed by the spectacular Strip and downtown sights, many forget there is life, culture and a strong sense of community just minutes away, such as the Hoover Dam.

The Luxor, The Flamingo Hilton, and New York-New York are just a few names of great hotels to stay at Las Vegas, Nevada
