00:10 Las Vegas is situated in the United States in the western state of Nevada.
00:15 Rising like an oasis from the Mojave Desert,
00:17 this city of over 1,000,000 people enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.
00:22 “Hey buddy, would ya pass me the suntan lotion?”
00:25 If ever there was a city that shouldn’t be, it’s Las Vegas.
00:29 Starting life as a windswept watering hole on the Pioneer Trail,
00:33 this is a city that continually beat the odds. Over the decades,
00:38 Las Vegas grew into a kinda neon Camelot, whose casinos and Rat Pack style
00:43 has become almost legendary;
00:45 but if your ideas about Las Vegas look like an old Super 8 movie,
00:49 prepare to be blown away.
00:51 And I mean really blown away.
00:53 This is not just a city.
00:56 The Las Vegas of the 21st century is like visiting another planet –
01:00 A Pleasure Planet!
01:01 It’s a total escapist fantasy.
01:04 Everyone is here for a good time, from Grandma Joe to movie stars – “hey! isn’t that…?”.
01:12 Whatever you want, you can have it here.
01:15 Looking for a taste of classic Vegas, Daddy O?
01:17 Head Downtown to Fremont Street and into a world of old school cocktail lounges,
01:23 piano bars and classic casinos.
01:26 Okay. Now it’s time to hit The Strip.
01:30 If everything’s big in Vegas, it’s a hundred times bigger here.
01:34 We’re not talking casinos anymore, we’re talkin’ mythical cities –
01:38 whole worlds geared around you having the time of your life.
01:44 Whatever mood floats your boat, you’ll find it here.
01:47 Fancy three days of unbelievable indulgence?
01:50 Say “buongiorno” to the Bellagio and her incredible dancing fountains.
01:57 Step back in time at the Luxor or Caesars Palace.
02:00 This is what Ancient Egypt and Rome might have been like
02:03 if they’d discovered electricity and cocktails (or happy hours) a little sooner.
02:08 Feeling more tropically inclined?
02:10 Kick off those heels and feel the sand between your toes
02:13 at The Mirage and Mandalay Bay resorts.
02:17 The resorts on the Strip are so vast and self-contained,
02:21 it’s possible to land in one and not step outside again for the rest of your stay.
02:25 But you will step out and explore the unique themes of at least a few others,
02:30 sampling the incredible shows, dining, and shopping experiences each one has to offer.
02:35 If this neon paradise still ain’t enough for you,
02:38 Mother Nature has a few surprises of her own.
02:40 That is, if you can find your way out!
02:42 The Valley of Fire is just 50 miles out of town,
02:45 and the Grand Canyon is a half-a-day drive away.
02:48 But as nighttime descends,
02:52 Vegas calls like an incredible cluster of neon jewels under the desert sky.
02:58 Las Vegas dazzles like no other city.
03:00 She’s here to remind us that we’re here on Earth, not for a long time,
03:05 but for a good time!
03:07 And Las Vegas will be the best time you ever had.
