For the hottest summer holiday, Las Vegas (also known as the Sun City) promises an average of 300 days of sunshine per year with very little rain. Perfect weather, ample shops, open parties, superior cuisine are all on offer at inexpensive rates. This makes Las Vegas the ideal destination for locals, foreigners, corporates, and families alike.
Because Las Vegas is positioned in arid desert within Clark County, visitors are advised to pack lightweight cotton clothes and comfortable shoes. Traffic to Hoover Dam is often backed up because of the strict security, so day trippers should ensure that they have sufficient water to drink as well as games to distract the children. The region is one of the fastest growing in the United States!
The city serves as world headquarters for the world's two largest Fortune 500 gaming companies, Harrah's Entertainment and MGM Mirage, so trying your luck at gambling may profit if you know when to stop. Enjoying yourself is key ;)
Las Vegas is, without doubt, the city of sights and sounds so, when leaving your hotel room, make sure that you are armed with your camera, as well as batteries or chargers as a back up. This will guarantee lifelong memories of what is sure to be one of the most exciting, fun and even-filled holidays of a lifetime.
Hoover Dam enjoys optimal viewing from the Arizona Lookout Point, from which visitors are able to take photographs for a full 20 minutes. This is followed by a walk through the Joshua Tree Forest and, from here, to the West Rim of the Canyon.
Omnimax theater located within Caesars Palace shows entertaining and educational films on a 6 story high screen. Call for current shows 702-731-7900 (Admission Fee)
Circus-Circus is a Five acre theme park features a roller coaster kiddie rides, water flume and an arcade. Entry is free with ride tickets or unlimited passes available.
The Grand Canyon is located approximately 300 miles from Las Vegas in Arizona, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open to year round to visitors. Formed by the erosion from the mighty Colorado River, The Grand Canyon is a mile deep and just over 280 miles long. Many tours are available including mule trips to the bottom of the canyon and flights over the canyon by helicopter or plane.

We can assist you in finding a tour that is right for you, with 16 tours available including bus, helicopter or plane and overnighters, there is sure to be one that suits your taste and budget.
Not forgetting Boulder City. Boulder City offers small town charm with craft shops and boutiques and is close to Lake Mead. A perfect spot to get away from the excitement of Las Vegas!
