For many, Las Vegas is the top of the kitsch. But it is a wonderful place, proving that with a good will, any place can become a small paradise. Overall Vegas is Disneyland for adults. There is everything and it offers a huge variety of entertainment.

Except trying your luck at the casinos, which in fact is wasting money most of the time , you can take the tours.

The Las Vegas tours are maybe the most valuable thing you can do. The city is a starting point for bus and helicopter tours to many beautiful and unique places.

Las Vegas at nightLas Vegas has always been a magnet for adventurers. Colorful, surprising as real pieces of multicolored mosaic.

But why is it so popular? What happens there? Why people prefer it for vacations? Lets peek behind the facts and figures and to build a better idea of Las Vegas.

16 of the 20 largest hotels in the world are located in Las Vegas. The most impressive with its size is the MGM-Hotel, which has 5 000 beds. The most expensive is the hotel “Wynn”, built for $ 2.7 billion USD. There are 800,000 jobs in the city and by the end of 2011 we have to add another 200 000. Turnover from the casinos is average 8.7 billion dollars, and the average amount by which a player participates is 545 dollars. The highest ever profit was in 2001 made by 25-year-old engineer from Los Angeles in hotel “Excalibur”, which hits the jackpot and gets the amount of 39,713,982.25 dollars. In 2004, 128,250 couples were married there, and the city established itself as the largest metropolis in the marital world.

Also interesting are the records in the world history of Las Vegas. The highest roller coaster (located on “Stratosphere Tower”), the largest artificial volcano (in the Hotel “Mirage”), the largest glass sculpture and the world’s largest fountain (both in the hotel “Bellagio “), the most powerful laser beam (at the Hotel “Luxor” and one of the three objects created by human hands, which can be distinguished from space with the naked eye). In few words – Las Vegas has everything!

In people’s minds this city is associated primarily with casinos, gambling and show business. But Las Vegas has many different faces. There you can recognize Paris, Venice, Roman times, Egypt, bits of the whole human history and civilization, music and lots of fun.
