Las Vegas is a city in Clark County, Nevada.  It is the largest city in Nevada in terms of population, with an estimated 545,147 full-time residents.  It is a major vacation, entertainment, gambling and shopping destination for millions of tourists from all parts of the world.

Las Vegas or Vegas was established in 1905, but it was not until 1911 that it officially became a city.  It is referred to as The Entertainment Capitol of the World because of the multitude of things to do here from shopping, dining and gambling, to enjoying some of the best entertainment in the world and being pampered in one of the many exclusive spas.

Since Vegas reinvented itself in the seventies and eighties and became more family friendly, it has been more successful than ever.  Nowadays whole families can enjoy a night out on the Boulevard with entertainment and dining designed specifically for younger patrons and their chaperones.  It also plays host to thousands of conventions every year.

Las Vegas is more than just nightlife though.  There are five crystalline lakes and nine lush parks for those who prefer a day outdoors hiking, fishing, cycling or just relaxing.  There really is a little something for everyone in this desert oasis.
