Las Vegas is the gambling capital of the world, no question about it. The Strip is the largest, densest, most magnificent concentration of gambling and entertainment in the world. Throw in the headliner shows, the celebrity chef eateries, the huge, luxury hotels catering to every taste, and the shopping, and you have a scene unparalleled anywhere else. This is why people come to Las Vegas.
The gambling scene started in downtown Las Vegas, long referred to as "Glitter Gulch," and more recently as the Fremont Street Experience. Five blocks of Fremont Street have been reserved as a pedestrian way and covered with an electronic canopy of LED's. This "light show" is a must-see attraction.
Yet, there is much more to this desert city. Golfers know Las Vegas as one of the best destinations for their sport. Convention planners know that Las Vegas is home to three of the largest convention centers in the country. The combination of endless exhibit space and over 100,000 nearby hotel rooms is reason enough to hold conventions and events here.
