Your ideal holiday
If you are touring the West or the West Coast, Las Vegas is ideal for two to three nights. From Los Angeles, you can fly to the desert metropolis within an hour. Or you can get to know the surroundings of Las Vegas on your own during a road trip. Peppered with famous landmarks from around the world, one place becomes more than just a city. Walk through the southern streets and the first moment you're in front of the Eiffel Tower. Ten minutes later, you're already marvelling at the architecture of ancient Rome.
The Strip
One of the most famous sights is the Las Vegas Strip. Divided into a northern and southern part, the latter is definitely worth seeing with its Parisian monuments. The Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe make an unreal picture in the shimmering backdrop. From the tower you have a beautiful view over the city, the Bellagio Fountain Show or Mount Charleston in the distance. The Strip is also the perfect place to indulge in high-end shopping at the many luxury boutiques.
Chandelier Bar
Are you in the mood for good drinks, fine cuisine and classic gambling? Then why not sip first-class cocktails at a chic and fancy bar with a three-storey glass chandelier. The Chandelier bar is located in the Cosmopolitan and offers a unique view of Las Vegas with floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
Springs Preserve
Sparkling highlights and fun attractions are in abundance, but Las Vegas also offers quiet corners. To discover these, drive to the Springs Preserve five kilometres outside. In 1980, the city's water source dried up at this location. Four themed hiking trails await you on the grounds. The tranquillity will make you forget that you were just standing in a vibrant metropolis. You will learn more about the first Springs inhabitants and the history of the Mojave Desert.
The best time to visit Las Vegas is from March to May, or from September to November. Due to the desert location, the temperatures and climate change quickly, and it is either hot or cold. In spring and autumn, temperatures are pleasant without extreme outliers.
The United States has over 35,000 museums. The state with the most museums in California, with New York in second place, and Texas, with over 2000 museums, in 3rd place.
