Las Vegas, nicknamed "Sin City" for its tolerance of vice, is one of the world's most famous destinations. Made famous by films and popular culture, its images of opulence and bad taste have been beamed around the planet and have become something of a self-referential joke. It is portrayed as larger than life, brash and out-of-control.

The reality isn't far off. The Las Vegas Strip is one of the main attractions. Designated an All-American-Road - a road boasting scenery found nowhere else in America - it is thought to be the brightest place on earth on account of the lights and displays outside the hotels and casinos, the cumulative effect of which is visible from space. The Las Vegas Strip runs from the Hard Rock Casino to the Sahara Casino. The boulevard in total is over four miles long and has to be the first destination for any traveler to Las Vegas. There is plenty of public transport but it would be more traditional to savor the delights of Las Vegas in a car -all the casinos have valet parking.
