Groupon’s Guide To Las Vegas
Situated in the Mojave Desert of Southern Nevada, the entertainment capital of the world mesmerises travellers with its mega hotels, casino complexes and fantasy-like environment.
Four decades after its opening, the icon of classic Sin City, Caesar’s Palace, still manages to beckon visitors with miles of gold decor, marble columns and copies of Greek and Roman statuary. Between W Sahara Avenue and Desert Inn Road, the Adventuredome allures thrill seekers with its five acres of climate-controlled parkland where waterfalls, animated dinosaurs and rides keep spirits high. Vegas breaks are accompanied by live music and entertainment and the Strip is the place where popular theatres and bars make for a night to remember.
