Las Vegas is one of the most popular travel destinations in
America. About 1/3 of US citizens have once been in this city. What
allows a city in the desert, with the total lack of any historical
attractions, be such an important tourist centre?
The answer lies in Las Vegas reputation as a gambling capital of
the world. The most of the tourists come here to test their fortune
in casinos. That income puts Las Vegas in American top 5 of the
cities according to the amount of the
money spent by tourists.
The history of the rise of Las Vegas began in 1930-s when American
government allowed opening
gambling establishments. This
business made Las Vegas one the
most rapidly developing cities in the United States. It's still
not a very big city with its population of about 250 thousands,
but it receives up to 30 millions tourists a year. It's no
surprise that the most of Las Vegas population works in gambling
or tourism industries.
Gambling industry development demanded the increase of the amount
of the hotels. Now Las Vegas overcomes New York, avowed tourism
center, in the number of hotel rooms. Hotels have become the focus
of the gambling life too. Almost every hotel has a casino or, at
least, a couple of gambling automats.
Casinos are open 24 hours a day, but you hardly see a clock
inside. It's common practice - you don't see how late it is and
continue to play and spend you money. The most hazardous players
can spend several days in casino without a break.
Las Vegas is also known for its breathtaking shows - Siegfrei and
Roy with
white tigers in the hotel
Мiгаgе, knight's tournament in the hotel Escalibure,
illusionists' show "Magic empire of Caesar" in the Caesar's
Palace, Paris cancan show Folies Bergere in Tropicana
hotel.
All shows are performed twice a day and your supper or cocktail is
included in the price of the ticket.
Caesar's Palace is one of the most famous and interesting places
in Las Vegas. It's the most luxury and magnificent hotel in the
city. Triumph Arc in front of the entrance is decorated with
columns and sculptures. Roman
gardens and merchant district
within the hotel area are also among the hotel's attractions.
The architects of the other casinos and hotels have also shown
their outstanding fantasy. Enormous aquariums and winter
gardens with waterfalls adorn
casino "Mirage", ancient frigates with cannons stand right in front
of the casino "Treasure island". The list is not full, of course,
the beauty seemed to be a motto for those, who built the city. Here
you dreams come true - that's what they are trying to tell
us.
The most of the casinos and hotels in Las Vegas are concentrated
in the centre, along the main thoroughfare - The Strip.
