Visit Egypt, Paris, New York and Venice on the same day. Watch the circus, ride a roller-coaster, eat vast meals, play the slot machines, get married. Where else but Las Vegas? In barely more than a century, a way station on a railroad line has transformed itself into a holiday destination that attracts nearly 40 million visitors a year. Las Vegas is a 24-hour city with hotel accommodation in over-the-top themed fantasies with wall-to-wall slot machines. However, should you tire of playing the tables, snaffling the generous hotel buffets and gazing at the lavish floor shows, you can explore a wealth of natural wonders beyond the city limits on a holiday in Las Vegas. Red Rock Canyon has a landscape of ancient red sandstone formations and wild horses and is less than an hour from Las Vegas.
