Las Vegas

In August I took an impromptu trip to Las Vegas to see what all the hype is about. Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. The boulevard's cityscape is highlighted by its use of contemporary architecture, lights, and a wide variety of attractions. Its hotels, casinos, restaurants, residential high-rises, entertainment offerings, and skyline have established the Strip as one of the most popular and iconic tourist destinations in the world. Most of the Strip has also been designated as an All-American Road, and is considered a scenic route at night. The trip was a nice getaway from everyday life in Alberta.
