Viva Las Vegas … you can’t resist the excitement of the neon lights, the unbridled cheers and shrieks of delight from jackpot winners, and the glitz and glamour of the new hotels on the strip. A Disneyland for adults? You bet … and Las Vegas is so much more! Now home to the world’s greatest collection of chefs, Las Vegas boasts restaurants from Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay and Thomas Keller, just to name a few. Show-biz entertainment is tops here too, including several world-famous Cirque du Soleil shows, the Blue Man Group, Mama Mia, The Producers and Menopause the Musical. Bette Midler, Elton John, David Copperfield and Penn & Teller are just a few of the well-known headliners performing from the worlds of music, comedy and magic.
There’s never a dull moment in Las Vegas. Watch the volcano erupt at the Mirage, don’t miss the rousing pirate battle at Treasure Island, marvel at the dancing waters display at the Bellagio, take a romantic gondola ride through the canals of the Venetian or dine at the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. For a break from The Strip, take a day trip to Hoover Dam where you’ll be impressed with the power of the mighty Colorado River.
The Las Vegas Hilton offers gambling at the hotel Casino, dancing at The NightClub, big-name entertainment at The Hilton Theater and a chance to relax on the eight-acre rooftop recreation deck and indoor health club (fee required). Take part in Star Trek: The Experience, a personalized interactive journey where you are beamed aboard the bridge of the USS Enterprise. And you’ll never go hungry with the variety of restaurants offering culinary treats from the traditional to the exotic.
Getting around Vegas is easy on the Las Vegas Monorail, a high-speed transportation system that operates daily, making numerous stops along the Las Vegas Strip, including the Las Vegas Hilton. (Visit www.lvmonorail.com).
