Las Vegas: The Sparkling OasisSince first being established as a city, in the middle of the Nevada Desert in 1911, Las Vegas has gone on to become a nationally and internationally renowned resort for gambling, live shows and shopping. The seemingly in-exhaustive number of themed hotels and resorts draw thousands of visitors every year, earning the city its reputation of being 'The Entertainment Capital of the World'. The first image that comes to most people’s mind when thinking of the city are the dazzling lights along the Las Vegas Strip, highlighting the eye-catching themed hotels, such as Treasure Island, Caesars Palace and The Mirage. There is, however, so much more to Las Vegas and its surrounding areas. Information can be found on a large number of online websites, such as onlinevegas.info . As well as information on the vast number of casinos, hotels and designer stores in the city, these websites also offer information on the forthcoming live shows taking place. These live shows have attracted a large number of internationally renowned artists in the past. World famous icons, such as Celine Dion, Elton John and even Elvis Presley have performed to packed audiences for weeks or even months at a time. This highlights the large number of people who have passed through and had fun in this fabulous city over the years. |
