Las Vegas, or the meadows in Spanish, is the brightest metropolitan area on Earth seen from space. There is a good reason for that. The famous Las Vegas Strip offers tourists a wild array of activities and accommodations. It is home to the largest hotel, resort and casino properties in the world. Nineteen of the world's twenty-five largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 67,000 rooms.
One of the most visually impressive aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and residential high-rises on the Strip has made the city one of the most popular destinations for tourists.
Nicknamed Sin City and the Entertainment Capital of the World, it is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city has giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke romance, mystery, and far-away destinations.
Las Vegas embellishes in the concept that "nothing succeeds like excess." Everything about this city is built around that phrase. You can fly right into town in a private jet. You can stay in a penthouse so luxuriant that would make the biggest Hollywood start flinch. You can have a private video poker machine or get your adrenaline running with five-hundred-dollar chips and a craps table. You can live at a hundred miles per second in this town.
