Why Las Vegas
Resort hotels, shows and dining on the Strip, with canyons and desert close by.
Las Vegas is built around the Strip, a long boulevard of resort hotels, shows and restaurants. Beyond the city, the Mojave Desert offers some striking day trips, from Red Rock Canyon on the edge of town to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon further away.

Getting around
Arriving in Las Vegas.
Harry Reid International (LAS) sits just east of the southern end of the Strip, so transfers to most hotels are short. Taxis, shuttles and pre-arranged cars wait outside both terminals.
Walking along the Strip, the monorail, and taxis beyond it.
When planning matters
Worth sorting out before you go.
- Check entry requirements early
- Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and change over time. Please confirm with the official guidance for your route.
- Travel dates make a difference
- School holidays, festivals and peak seasons affect what's available. If your dates are flexible, tell us — it gives us more to work with.
- Plan the arrival, not just the flight
- Late-night and early-morning arrivals are much easier with a transfer arranged in advance.
- Match the stay to the plan
- Choose the area around what you'll actually do each day, not only the hotel itself.
