Since springing from the desert more than a half-century ago, Las Vegas has been the gambling mecca of the United States, if not the planet. But just because Vegas is synonymous with casinos, poker chips and slot machines doesn’t mean it can’t entertain those visitors with no interest in pressing their luck.

Las Vegas is among the most eclectic—and electric—getaway spots in the United States, with activities to accommodate the interests of every tourist, including those preferring not to gamble. In fact, there’s so much to do in Vegas, one trip isn’t enough. A return engagement will be necessary to experience it all.

Foodies for Las Vegas

Las Vegas has emerged in recent years as a can’t-miss eating city for foodies or anyone looking to tantalize their taste buds.

The region is an outdoors paradise, steeped in breathtaking landscapes and gardens of eye-popping plant life that touch every possibility on the color wheel. Bellagio’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens abounds with floral extravagance to match each season of the year.

Then rise high above the city at the Eiffel Tower Experience or enjoy a romantic, Venice-inspired gondola ride at the Venetian.
