Las Vegas & Grand Canyon

Located in the heart of the Nevada desert, Las Vegas is the 24-hour party city that deserves its title as the Entertainment Capital of the World. With famous casino hotels including Mandalay Bay, Wynn, Caesar’s Palace, Bellagio and The Palazzo to be marvelled at, Las Vegas may be famous for gambling, but it also offers ample opportunity to experience excitement beyond the roulette and poker tables.

With glamorous stage shows, exuberant clubbing, exquisite dining and endless shopping opportunities available around the clock, Vegas has a party atmosphere that is second to none. And if you fancy a change in pace from the hedonistic leisure pursuits of the Strip, you can visit one of America’s greatest natural wonders at the nearby Grand Canyon.
