Rent a Condo in Las Vegas

Have a Feast
The city draws elite chefs from all over the world. You can find restaurants owned by Gordon Ramsay and Joel Robuchon in addition to well-known American talents like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay.
If you're more interested in eating massive amounts rather than having a five-star experience, you can eat your heart out at any one of the buffets in town. Most casinos feature a buffet, where you'll find fresh seafood, international dishes, American favorites, and a wide selection of desserts.
Give Yourself a Chance to Win Big
The casinos are a main part of the glitter in Las Vegas. They're conveniently located together on or near Las Vegas Boulevard, otherwise known as The Strip. There are over 30 casinos that have slot machines, poker rooms, card tables, sports betting, and keno. They never close, so anytime can be a good time for gambling.
The Las Vegas Strip
Each hotel and casino along The Strip has its own theme, ranging from Egyptian to Parisian. They provide non-stop entertainment and all have restaurants, bars, theaters, clubs, and shops, in addition to gaming options.
Hoover Dam
The dam is 30 miles away from the city. It was largest concrete structure in the world upon its completion in 1936. You can stop by the visitor's center to learn more, and you can take a tour to get a glimpse of the dam's interior.
Weather
Most days in Las Vegas are dry and sunny, as it sits in the Mojave Desert. Highs vary from the upper 50s in the winter to the 100s in the summer. Lows fall to the upper 30s in the colder months, and in the summer, they only drop to about 80 degrees. Since the summer is so hot, a lot of people like to visit during the other seasons. New Year's Eve is a huge celebration, with fireworks going off at midnight and thousands of people filling the streets.
How to Get There
Las Vegas is located along Interstate 15, connecting it with Los Angeles to the southwest and Salt Lake City to the northeast. If you drive your private car or rental car to the city, you'll find plenty of parking along the Strip and near other major attractions. You can fly into McCarran International Airport and pick up a rental there or rent from an agency in adjacent Henderson.
