What\u2019s the first thing that comes to mind when the subject is Las Vegas? Land of luxury resorts, casinos, home to great sports events, unusual weddings, and lots of buzz. The clich\u00e9s are trustworthy, and there are two things you can be sure of about the most densely populated city in the state of Nevada, USA: it is definitely the land of luxury and of buzz. The famous saying is that \u201cwhat happens in Vegas stays in Vegas\u201d, but we\u2019ll keep no secrets when talking about the main attractions of the fastest growing city in North America. That\u2019s why it\u2019s the home of the residency shows of the music industry\u2019s greatest icons \u2013 especially POP \u2013 and of the UFC\u2019s super fights.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But there\u2019s no way to start a text about las Vegas without highlighting its casinos, situated on the Strip \u2013 the Las Vegas Boulevard \u2013 or in the region of Old Town Las Vegas, birthplaces for some of the planet\u2019s most imposing hotels and casinos: Bellagio, Caesar\u2019s Palace, Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Monte Carlo, New York New York, Paris, Stratosphere, The Venetian, Treasure island, among many others. It\u2019s there that the Las Vegas tourism is born, grows every year, and is reproduced by those who disobey the popular saying of hiding everything that happens there, and go back to their hometowns full of stories to tell.<\/span><\/p>\n Nowadays touristic and legalized, the famous Las Vegas casinos began illicitly, and multiplied with a strong link to American organized crime, with members of the Mafia, such as Benjamin \u201cBugsy\u201d Siegal and Meyer Lansky, among others, leading the business. And you\u2019re mistaken if you think the city is ashamed of its past. On the contrary, there\u2019s a certain pride in its citizens\u2019 tone of voice when talking about the Mafia, which strengthened the city economically, as can be seen in the Mob Museum, which tells the story of the American Mafia.<\/span><\/p>\n With relation to the shows, don\u2019t miss the Cirque du Soleil show called ONE, in honor of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, at the Mandalay Bay. Other musical icons celebrated in a big show are the Beatles, in the musical Love, at the Mirage. If you want extra fun, don\u2019t miss hot parties such as the XS, at the Wynne, the live shows at the Brooklyn Bowl Vegas, and, of course, the lively pool parties, such as the Nite Tours.<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, Las Vegas also surprises with other attractions not typical of its fame. Just walk along Las Vegas Boulevard and you\u2019ll see that there are attractions for the whole family, opposed to what you thought was a dream for the single. The great demand from families that visit the town forced the big hotels to adapt, building imposing restaurants and the Linq, simply the biggest Ferris Wheel in the world, with no less than 550 meters in height. The MGM has The Park Vegas, inspired by New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What\u2019s the first thing that comes to mind when the subject is Las Vegas?
