Travel to Las Vegas, Nevada
This famous gambling city in America is literally a bright spot in the vast Mojave desert. When you drive towards the city in your rental car, the flashing neon lights meet you from a great distance. Because of the succession of luxury hotels, bustling nightclubs and cozy casinos, the city is nicknamed ‘Sin City’.

But you’re selling yourself short if you don’t look beyond the dazzling pageantry and glamour. On the basis of this travel guide, we take you to Las Vegas and the state of Nevada, of course we take a look at all the splendor, but we also dive a little further into Vegas.
As soon as the plane lands at the Las Vegas airport, tensions begin to rise. Where to start your visit in the city? At the welcome sign ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’, of course. To do this, you must drive to the south end of The Strip, and the sign is about 500 meters south of the Mandalay Bay hotel.
Anyone who thinks that Las Vegas is only for couples or groups of friends is wrong. It is also a nice destination for families. Children will probably appreciate the High Roller: the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. It is 167.7 meters high and the views are spectacular.
One of the most famous fountains that you probably know from the movies are the Bellagio fountains. They stand in front of the luxury hotel of the same name on The Strip and bring a romantic atmosphere with their iconic (light) shows.
