   Las Vegas Travel The allure of Las Vegas is like no other destination in the world – and travelling to the Neon City is guaranteed to live up to your dream expectations. It doesn’t matter if you want to travel to Las Vegas to play the casinos, or just to experience the city’s unique vibe – travelling to Sin City has it all. Travellers lucky enough to jet into Las Vegas at Dusk or during the night are greeted by miles upon miles of neon glory – but everyone’s sure of a dazzling welcome to the slot filled grandeur of the city’s airport. However, once you’ve arrived – you’ll want to get to your Casino Resort or hotel as soon as possible. Most tourists who travel to Las Vegas don’t bother with hire cars – they either hail a cab or hop on one of Vegas’ famous shuttles. Fortunately for visitors to Vegas, the transport system is cheap and runs as smoothly as the city’s slickest poker tables! Big operators such as Showtime run 24/7 shuttles all over Vegas – and a return ticket from the airport to the Strip or Downtown will only set you back less than $10. For Vegas travellers with a medium bankroll, hail a yellow cab and for $15 to $20 you be whisked away to paradise in no time (and you could soon win that back if you get lucky at the casino on your first night!). However, for those with jackpot budgets and who want to do Vegas travel in real style – hire a limo and have people wonder which celeb you are (definitely the most interesting option!). Hit Vegas and have fun The fame of Vegas is all about casino gaming – and that’s what tempts millions of travellers every year. However, you’ll want to do Vegas properly, and that means taking in everything it has to offer in terms of free entertainment. Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without an endless stream of free water, light and live performance shows. Kids and adults will adore the Fountain extravaganza at the front of the Bellagio, or the after dark splendour of the Volcano jets at the Mirage. Then, experience some of the most talented performers in Las Vegas as they treat Vegas travellers to an awesome bag of tricks and illusions over at St Mark’s Square. For a more refined experience, venture inside the delights of the Venetian casino and ride the famed gondolas over the Grand Canal Shoppes – it will set you back about $10 but can you resist it? Alternatively, opt for the magnificent Eiffel Tower at the Casino Paris Resort and get the best view of Vegas for $9. From the delights of the Downtown Freemont Street Experience with its millions of neon lights, to the grandeur of MGM Grand and Tropicana – Vegas delivers a 24/7 show that travellers will never forget. Vegas is the ultimate adults’ playground, but that doesn’t mean big kids and small kids will love the place in equal measure. If you’re travelling as a family, New York New York and Circus Circus are simply must visits, with endless theme parks, family shows, huge cinema screens and endless leisure activities.  Hit the Vegas casinos It’s not difficult to find some glorious casino adventures in Las Vegas – in fact any Vegas traveller who fails to do so, probably got on the wrong plane! However, most tourists pencil in a visit to a few of the big casino resorts such as MGM Las Vegas Grand. Even if you don’t game there, it’s worth seeing as a spectacle – especially at night. So, hail a cab or jump on shuttle and head off to the southern flank of the Strip. Vegas is famous for making random, lucky travellers to the city rich in an instant – and you may be fortunate enough to see someone land a massive progressive jackpot (ok, so if you’re really lucky it could be you!). The biggest thrill for most Vegas tourists is getting glammed-up for the night and feeling like a million dollars inside the most opulent casinos on the planet. So, pack your bags and feel the rush of travelling to Las Vegas!
