In a nutshell
The new 21st-century Las Vegas is nothing like the Vegas of old. Amazing new hotels have sprung up in recent years setting new standards in service and facilities. The cheesy entertainers of yesteryear were shown the door, as permanent theatres show world-class entertainers such as Cirque du Soleil®, Blue Man Group and Celine Dion. The best magicians, singers, impressionists and tribute acts in the world are here too. There are brand new thrill rides, sumptuous pool complexes with wave machines, lots of golf courses and amazing shopping from designer boutiques to out-of-town factory outlet stores. The world's best restaurants have new branches here, and entertainment venues like the House of Blues are thrilling the crowds night after night. 24 hours a day, this really is the entertainment capital of the world. And if, after all that, you're still not satisfied, well, don't forget those casinos!
