Las Vegas is the most extreme and allegorical of American cities: bizarre and beautiful. Top entertainment, fine dining and gambling abound. Neon and light shows dazzle. The wonders of the world—both ancient and modern—are re-created for guests’ enjoyment and convenience. Visitors can see Paris’ Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids and Venice’s canals without leaving the city.
