Billed as The Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas is where the fun never stops and the tourists never sleep. While the town is known for its flashy casinos, flamboyant night clubs and lavish resorts, the city's rapid growth is quickly attracting growing families and young professionals alike. Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert and sees little rainfall throughout the year.
As one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, Las Vegas real estate continues to expand with new developments and communities. Residents living in Las Vegas can frequent the popular Las Vegas Strip, which includes many popular megaresorts located on the south side of the city and actually extends into the neighboring town of Paradise. Some of these popular megaresorts include the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, the Mirage, Caesars Palace and the Bellagio, to name a few.
Downtown Las Vegas is entirely another story. Inside these resorts, many different artists and inventors are featured daily. The Bellagio has the Gallery of Fine Art and Caesars Palace has Exotic Cars exhibit. Other attractions near the Las Vegas Strip and around the city include over 20 world-class golf courses, the Las Vegas Art Museum and the Nevada State Museum. In a strategic effort to bring tourism back to the downtown area, builders and architects alike created the Freemont Street Experience, a pedestrian mall and attraction with a neon light show underneath a giant canopy.
