Las Vegas has been associated with glamorous entertainment for decades, and earned its designation as the Entertainment Capital of the World long
ago. Today, visitors are still dazzled by sequin-clad showgirls and sophisticated lounge acts, but also enjoy an unparalleled variety of production shows, comedy revues, magic acts, superstar concert headliners and
traveling Broadway performances. With nightclubs and hotel lounges in abundance, it's possible to be entertained until dawn.
Nevada law permits a wide variety of gaming, including traditional card and dice games, race and sports books, slot machines,
cashless slot machines, high-tech electronic gambling devices and international games of chance that originated in Europe and Asia.
From thrilling roller coasters to virtual-reality simulator rides, from white tigers to wax museums, Las Vegas' attractions appeal to all
ages and interests.
Las Vegas' pleasant climate makes playing golf enjoyable throughout most of the year. Oddly, many still consider golf an
emerging attraction in this destination known more for indoor games involving greenbacks than outdoor ones played on greens. Today, more than 60 public courses
are available for play in southern Nevada. Las Vegas offers challenging, beautifully sculptured courses developed by world-renowned golfers and designers such as Jack Nicklaus, Rees Jones, Billy Casper
and Arnold Palmer.
Whatever your preferred method of matrimony, Las Vegas offers you the ultimate freedom of choice,
from a no-frills ceremony at a 24-hour drive-through chapel to nuptials aboard a Colorado River champagne cruise, to a service atop a 171-foot-high bungee jumping platform or a traditional formal
wedding with a church full of guests. With more than 120,000 marriage licenses issued annually, Las Vegas is recognized as the world's wedding capital.
