The Entertainment Capitol of the World

Las Vegas will be the perfect venue to host this exciting new program. Gaming, golf, nightlife, shows, and the Strip...all at your doorstep after an energizing and inspiring day of education.

The Strip – shines most brilliantly at night.

Magnificent hotels glow green and gold. Pink, red, yellow, blue and white neon pulsates all around. Lights flash. Music plays. Fountains soar. People in the thousands walk up, down and over the Strip. A laser beam, visible from space, penetrates the night sky and invites the whole universe to come and play...and that’s only outside - step into any of the iconic casino resorts along the Strip, and you’ll enter a world of pure imagination.

Shows & Events

The possibilities are endless in Las Vegas—with more than 100 shows in town, there is something for everyone! From classic showgirls and magicians, up-and-coming punk bands or legendary crooners, to cirque-style acrobats and trapeze artists, Las Vegas offers shows that will amaze and delight young and old alike.

Dining

Once known for its all-you-can-eat buffets, huge coffee-shop breakfasts and classic steak joints, Vegas has enjoyed a culinary revolution. As talented chefs continue to flock to Vegas, the city reinforces its reputation as the world’s premier dining destination.

Shopping

Vegas has become a global shopping destination. Huge outlet malls vie with exclusive boutiques in exquisite casino resorts. On the Strip, shoppers will find everything from haute couture to traditional Vegas souvenirs - dice clocks and playing cards.

The Fashion Show Mall put Las Vegas on the retail map. Since then many major Strip resorts have opened spectacular shopping areas featuring some of the world’s best brands and most exclusive designers, while a number of outlet malls have proven popular with shoppers.

Gaming

There’s always a chance. Anything is possible. Playing the odds has been part of Vegas since the first casino opened in this desert town.

Someone always wins. Any time is the right time to pull up to a blackjack table, roulette wheel or craps table. Casinos are open 24 hours a day. If there’s a game to be played, you can play it in Las Vegas.

Many casinos even offer gaming lessons for those who would like to learn a little more before hitting the floor.

Golf

Vegas has been a favored golf destination since the early '50s and '60s, with championship-caliber 18-hole courses right on the Strip.

Mild weather, clear blue skies, spectacular views of the Strip and the surrounding mountains make Las Vegas the ideal choice for a golfing holiday.

Attractions

There’s never a moment’s rest in Las Vegas, where an endless array of attractions vie for your attention. Circus performers fly overhead in one casino, while singing cowgirls entertain customers in another. In need of a thrill or two? Why not ride a roller coaster a thousand feet in the sky. Or, for a change of pace, enter the sanctuary of a gallery for some of the world’s finest works of art. Everywhere you turn, you’ll find something extraordinary to see or do.
