The Las Vegas Strip Is Still Second To None
From the early days when it featured a scattering of themed motor lodges, to the neon canyon of the 1906's and 70's, to opulence and grandeur of today's mammoth resorts, the Las Vegas Strip has stood the test of time as one of the world's premier pleasure destinations.
From economy to luxury, almost everyone can find a good time on the Strip at a price they can afford.
Of course, if Las Vegas is known for anything, gaming is first on the list.
From acres of slot machines to keno in the coffee shop, it's all but impossible to go anywhere on the Strip where a wager can't be made. Whether someone wants to spend a few dollars on video poker, try their hand at craps, or play for big stakes at high limit blackjack, the Strip has it all.
And, if sports and race betting is preferred, the Las Vegas Strip is home to more race and sports books than anywhere else in the world.
If there is a game being played or a race being run in the United States, most likely a sports book on the strip is taking bets on it.
Oh, but even the most dedicated gamblers need to take a break now and then, and the Las Vegas Strip offers something for everyone there, too.
Along with clean and comfortable budget lodging at many of the older hotels, those who want to be pampered can also find world class accommodations at some of the new palaces on the Strip such as the Bellagio and the Wynn.
And when it's time to dine, the Strip also shines with fare ranging from simple pizza by the slice to five star cuisine that's second to none. After dinner, those wanting to wrap up their evening with a show will find they can choose from well known singers and comedians, to breathtaking theatrical performances by Cirque Du Soleil, which currently puts on six different shows at various hotels on the Strip.
If you want world class entertainment to fit almost any budget, the Las Vegas Strip is still the place to find it all.
