Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time! Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!
First . . . Las Vegas . . . and the strip
One of the magnificent trips that I will never forget was my recent visit to the city of lights and entertainment - Las Vegas! It is the most densely inhabited city in the United States of America.
Las Vegas is known for its gambling places and games; for unusually shaped large hotels, casinos, restaurants, resorts, properties and spacious houses.
Most of the first class hotels, casinos and entertainments are laid out over a mere 3.8 miles.
The most extraordinary hotel I have ever seen was the Paris Hotel . . . in Las Vegas! It?s not only a hotel . . . it?s like an amusement city! This hotel was arranged, decorated and designed just as if a slice of Paris had been pulled out and put down in Las Vegas!
I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas . . .
I work in a travel ...

Advantages: Good food, an experience Disadvantages: Depressing, desert heat
Why is there such hype surrounding Las Vegas? I don't see the attraction myself. Having stayed there in the summer of 2003, I hope to never return. Here's why.
Vegas is in its own little bubble. It's a heaven for consumerism, obesity, greed, and tack.
First of all, the heat overwhelmed me. It made it impossible to go outside for any longer than a few minutes at a time. The air is thick, heavy with the desert heat.

Sunglasses are an absolute necessity, without them you will be squinting constantly (day and night!)
I didn't hate everything about the city. I'll get the positives out ...

Advantages: A holiday you will never forget Disadvantages: Too much to do, too little time....
We decided to have one of those 'blow-out' holidays for 2004 and the Boyf had his heart set on Vegas. I wasn't too sure so we bought a few guide books that completely changed my mind. Boyf searched the internet for the best hotel casinos and after a while booked us into a 'Love Tub' suite at the Imperial Palace for a week. Quite perturbed at the name, I insisted we check out the website www.imperialpalace.com and we were able to see a picture of the room and it didn't look a sleazy as the name suggested (phew!). Time flew and before we knew it, we were on an 11hr flight going to Vegas.
We flew with Virgin Airways in Economy and through the Boyf's many connections, managed to get return flights for £320 each which was quite a bargain. We got through passport control, took our seats and settled down to watch the numerous in ...
