Skyline over Las Vegas strip
How far away is the Las Vegas of vice and sin, the one that at the beginning of the 20th century, driven by the great gold rush in the far west, emerged in the Nevada desert. A few years ago it was realized that they no longer had the monopoly of gambling: there were several competitors and in order to survive it was necessary to change skin once again. With the speed (and the availability of capital) of which only the American metropolises are capable, Las Vegas was able to reinvent itself completely, proposing itself as a gigantic amusement park equipped with science fiction technologies. Tailor-made for families with children, no longer just for adults, the project met with an extraordinary response beyond expectations, as evidenced by the large number of annual guests.
4 days in Las Vegas is the ideal amount of time to get a taste of what the city has to offer.
The best time to visit Las Vegas is from March to May and from September to November.

Las Vegas is an unreal city located in the desert void of Southern Nevada. It is surrounded only by sand and rocks, plus a few endless and absolutely straight roads leading to Los Angeles, Salt Lake City or Phoenix, hundreds of miles away.
It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world.
Las Vegas is often known simply as Vegas, is the 26th-most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.
It was officially founded on May 15,1905. William A. Clark, who owned the three railroads, auctioned off 1,200 lots in one day in the area known today as Glitter Gulch.
In the past, before the “conversion” of the city into a place for families, Las Vegas was considered the city of sin as gambling was legalized, alcohol was available at any time of day or night and there were shows for adults.
The city is also known as the Marriage Capital of the World in part due to the ease and low costs of acquiring a marriage license. Its wedding are legal and recognized around the world, making it a perfect wedding destination even for foreigners. In Las Vegas you have the opportunity to get married with a few bureaucratic formalities, it is a real business, so much that all large hotels offer a wedding package, in line with the theme and setting of the hotel.
The city, which now lives mainly during the day and no longer at night, is made up of colossal and ultra-modern buildings gathered along the 5 miles of asphalt of the boulevard known as The Strip. The area represents the most characteristic that can be observed; all the large hotels that follow one another both to the right and to the left of the main road have been conceived according to a very specific theme (the Middle Ages, the Circus, the Ancient Egypt, etc.) according to the best rules of Hollywood gigantism.
