Las Vegas travel and Las Vegas entertainment

Known as one of the world’s top travel markets, Las Vegas entertainment draws some 40 million visitors annually. The city has long been known for its beautiful showgirls, its flashy stage shows, top name entertainers and the world’s most luxurious casinos. The city is constantly changing, with construction of multi-billion dollar resort projects to be found along the glitzy Las Vegas Strip. Another major change taking place is the addition of  luxurious nightclubs in most of the leading resorts. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a stop on the NASCAR racing circuit. Las Vegas is home to the USAF Thunderbirds, the world-famous aviation demonstration squadron. The city is also host to numerous major events, including the Miss America and Miss USA Pageants. Hoover Dam is a 30-minute drive from the Strip.  Robert and Melinda Macy have been covering Las Vegas for 28 years and their book, “Las Vegas Dimensions,” Las Vegas travel in attractive print and online versions, can be found on www.americadimensions.com -- the online travel book series.
