Las Vegas

Sightseeing

Sightseeing Overview

While most cities have particular entertainment districts for tourists to visit among other attractions, Las Vegas is one giant entertainment district. Las Vegas Boulevard (the central attraction for this 24-hour city) runs through the heart of Downtown, in the north of the city, and turns into the Strip, in the south.

The city is divided into two halves - Downtown and the Strip. Downtown (known as ‘Glitter Gulch' for the bright neon signs and millions of flashing lights) is the living embodiment of old Las Vegas. Here, the vintage-style hotels, casinos, stage shows and strip joints are joined by the new Fremont Street Experience Mall.

Further south, the Strip is home to the latest, biggest and most ambitious casinos, many of which verge on being mini theme parks.
