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
