Enjoy the glitz and glamour of one of the world's largest playgrounds. The Las Vegas Strip is completely fascinating. The Strip, a 3.5-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South between Russell Road and Sahara Avenue, is the heart of Las Vegas. The city's soul is the downtown area north of the Strip, whose core is Fremont Street. The south Strip has been the beneficiary of the lion's share of Las Vegas's most recent boom, with the opening of such blockbusters as New York-New York, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, Paris and the Venetian. A miniature New York City stands across the street from a giant castle; a naval battle takes place beside a busy city street; Venetian-style gondolas sail along indoor canals.

The resorts are full of lavish stage shows and big-name performers and restaurants owned by every celebrity chef to pick up a spoon. Of course, the gaming tables and slot machines accompany the spectacles. For many, the thrill of winning and losing makes the casinos the most exciting show in town.
