Welcome to Las Vegas
THE Entertainment Capital of the World. The Sin City. The Capital of Second Chances. The Marriage Capital of the World.
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!
Officially became a city in 1911, the name Las Vegas was coined in the 19th century because of the widespread meadows (which translated in Spanish means “Vegas”) that filled the valley.
The city is blessed with abundant sunshine all year long. It possesses a subtropical desert climate which is typical of the Mojave Desert.
Las Vegas is known for countless side-by-side hotels and casinos which are mostly found in The Strip making the area the focal point of the city’s gambling and entertainment industry.
True to its being the marriage capital of the world, it holds the record for the highest marriage rates within the United States. Since wedding licenses can be easily facilitated, many people come from other cities and states to get married. Remarkably, the city has a high divorce rate since divorce can be easily obtained as well.
While Las Vegas is famous for gaming, adult entertainment, quick marriages, and vibrant nightlife, it is also home to world-class hotels, topnotch shows, historical museums, parks and unparalleled dining culture.
