Las Vegas, literally translated as "The Meadows", is also known as "Sin City" and is the most populous city in the state of Nevada, with the largest number of hotel rooms in the U.S. Las Vegas is famous for shopping, entertainment, dining, and ... gambling! Established in 1905 as a popular railroad town, today's Las Vegas, in particular Las Vegas Boulevard South - better known as "The Strip" - is home to enormous casino resorts and world-famous shows. Despite losing its status as the world's highest grossing gambling center to Macau in 2006 and the consequences of the 2008 world finance shock surely didn't help, the combined driving forces behind its economy - tourism, gaming, conventions, and most recently technology - are steady. Its most famous casino hotels include the MGM Grand, the Bellagio and the Mirage, to name but a few. Many hotels have contributed to making The Strip more pedestrian-friendly by installing new facades and footbridges, but with an arid desert climate of over 100F (38C) in the months of July and August, you might want to revert to a more temperate form of indoor entertainment.
