Discover Las Vegas on Your Own Terms: Car Rental Guide and Tips
Las Vegas is the recognized capital of the world of gambling entertainment. However, it is a mistake to think that the only purpose for which a tourist can go there is to try to catch the player's capricious luck by the tail. In addition to the green cloth of roulette and slot machines, in the famous city of the US state of Nevada, there is a lot of entertainment, because Las Vegas is a holiday city.
During the industrial revolution, the station grew into a settlement, and in 1905 the geographical name of the city appeared in official documents, which translates as "fertile valleys".
Of course, compared to the uninhabitable desert lands, this area seemed fertile!
The grapes were grown on an educated ranch, but the appearance and development of a railway line changed the fate of the city. At first, a modest "technical" station was formed on a deserted half-station, then the business grew into a station serving steam locomotives. Of course there, like mushrooms after the rain, clubs and saloons began to appear. In the town, crime has grown to extraordinary proportions, and the authorities made a strong-willed decision to ban gambling.
The result was predictable: gambling houses went underground. This did not solve the problem of shooting and fights, and two years later the gambling business began to emerge from the shadows, and the law on gambling establishments adopted in 1931 finally determined the fate of the further development of the city.
During the "dry law" in USA Vegas has become one of the largest centers of alcohol turnover. Mafiosi gathered there for the smell of big money, and where they are, there is entertainment. The city grew and developed, concerts, shows, cancan and later striptease joined the roulette and slot machines. Quick wedding ceremonies have gained popularity and remain in demand to this day.
You need to fly to Vegas at least to touch the rampant free city, walk through the streets familiar from film frames, and of course see the beautiful desert of Nevada. McCarran International Airport (LAS) is located close to the city and car rental is available on site. Official city website - www.lasvegasnm.gov
What to see in Las Vegas.
Vegas museums surprise with their unusualness. For example, The Mob Museum. This museum tells about the history of organized crime in the United States, about the emergence and development of mafia clan systems. The current time is also affected: one of the many expositions highlights the activities of the mafia in FIFA, there is a hall of the Russian mafia.
The exhibits are displayed on three floors, some of them are interactive. A large number of authentic historical documents, photographs, many good reconstructions. Near the museum there is a small paid parking, and on the ground floor there is a stylized cafe that immerses guests in the atmosphere of the criminal world of the past.
The Strip. The central street of the city shows tourists an open-air miracle show. Hotels and casinos are built in the form of the main attractions of other countries of the world; fire shows are held on the street itself in the evenings. Unforgettable dancing fountains will fascinate people walking slowly for a long time.
The Strip is the soul of these places, it is unthinkable to fly to Sin City and not walk through its center in the evening. Due to the presence of a large number of police, this street is safe for visitors.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. The museum is located in the building of the Luxor Hotel, which is built in the form of an Egyptian pyramid. It contains everything that is currently known about the death of a huge pleasure liner and provides an opportunity to see items raised from the seabed related to the Titanic. Excursions are held in the form of an interactive show and provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a luxurious cruise on the most famous ocean liner. the set tables of restaurants and the front staircase famous from the film of the same name leave an indelible effect in the hearts of people. The more striking is the difference with the bright and festive street, which they go out after the tour.
Where to go for 1-2 days in Las Vegas.
When you get bored with the neon of Vegas, you should rent a car on the Bookingautos website and drive to the desert. Desert landscapes will not leave anyone indifferent, and sunsets and sunrises in the sands are completely different from the already bored views of the sun setting on the sea waves.
Aircraft graveyard is located on the vast territory of the Mojave (you can visit it only one day a month ), a ghost town and an old train station with a train station. In the days of steam locomotives, the station was built to help trains overcome the chest section of the road: a special pusher joined the steam locomotives, rolling out a heavy train onto a flat section of the road. With the development of technology, the need for pushers disappeared, the station closed, and after it the town became depopulated, adding to the list of cities abandoned by people in the American states.
The nature of the desert is heterogeneous, the plants of dry hot zones feel great there and bloom, despite the dry climate. The visitor center offers a choice of several quest routes of varying difficulty and length.
There are several campsites on the territory where it is convenient to stay for a rest or overnight.
Red Rocks Canyon.
A very picturesque place where movies and series are often filmed. The Nevada National Park is waiting for lovers of outdoor activities. The horse riding routes, rock climbing, hiking trails and viewpoints of the Red Rocks will be remembered forever.
Ancient petroglyphs, colorful island rocks, and rare wild plants have been preserved on the territory of this recreational zone. On the plain in the center of the park there is a tourist center and a small village where you can relax, dine in a cafe or rent an accommodation for the night.
The best restaurants in Las Vegas.
The cuisine of Las Vegas is as colorful and varied as the entertainment city itself. It presents all world cuisines, delicacies, haute cuisine and local specialties. There is a chic French restaurant on the 11th floor of the Eiffel Tower near the Paris Hotel, Mediterranean-style fish dishes are offered near Italian-style hotels, and vegans will love the Waldorva salad, which is prepared according to a special recipe in Vegas.

This restaurant serves authentic Asian Thai cuisine with free private parking. Fast and friendly service, the ability to adjust the degree of spiciness of the dish when ordering and large portions make the restaurant a popular place where you should definitely book a table: otherwise there is a big risk of not getting to dinner due to the fullness of the hall.
Las Vegas parking lots.
For obvious reasons, there are problems with parking in the city: there are free parking not in every hotel and casino.
Most shopping centers and restaurants also charge money for this service, although the price is significantly reduced with a guest card. The further the hotel is located from the Strip, the lower the cost of daily rent, at hotels outside the city limits you can find rooms with free use of parking for the duration of the guest's stay.
