The City Of Las Vegas

The Las Vegas and Atlantic City locations have lost revenues in recent years. In addition to the economic slowdown, these gambling locations are also facing new competitors in the market that are providing attractive choices to the customers. Though there are some external forces beyond their control, it seems that attractiveness and accessibility are very important focus areas for these cities.

Las Vegas is one of the nation's favorite vacation destinations. Las Vegas, in Nevada’s Mojave Desert, is a resort town famed for its buzzing energy. It's a 24-hour city where gambling is a loved past-time and dreams of striking it rich can come true. Its focal point is the Strip, just over 4 miles long and lined with elaborate theme hotels such as the pyramid-shaped Luxor and the Venetian, complete with Grand Canal; luxury resorts including the Bellagio, set behind iconic dancing fountains; and innumerable casinos.

As I stepped out to the Las Vegas Strip for the first time, the first thing I came across was the massive water show at the Bellagio. With the calm music playing in the background finely tuned with every drop of water I fell in love. Along with the gigantic crowd of people that surrounded me I could feel the warmth of every light bulb that lit up the city that never sleeps. Comparing Las Vegas to my hometown Madrid, I find many differences that only I may be able to depict. Some of the differences include the food, the culture and the demographic of the people in the community. Out of the many differences I chose to compare three things that I found were the most interesting. Madrid and Las Vegas are very different in term of climate, economy,

So what exactly is there to do in Las Vegas? Well, first there's the obvious: the city's casinos are regarded as the world's best and attract people from all across the world. If you're planning to spend some time in the casinos, you may be eligible for complimentary items - for instance, discounts on luxury goods, a meal or even your room. You simply have to show the casino your player card (which each player is issued) and ask them if you're able to receive any comps.It's a great way to enjoy luxury Las Vegas pursuits for less.

Contextualizing history is heavily intertwined with the development and shaping of Los Angeles as a whole. Los Angeles has always been deemed to be one of the hardest cities to develop in being one of the greatest cities in the world. This comes as a result of all of the history behind the buildings in the city. In addition, many of the buildings in the great city (both historical structures and regular buildings) are being renovated and reshaped to keep up with modern trends. Throughout the course of the growth of the city of Los Angeles, the city has seen a lot of growth in terms of infrastructure and population. There has been a recent growth in the popularity and demand for mixed use development. Mixed use development is a very hot

You usually would not expect a seventeen year old to say that they love vacationing to Las Vegas, but in my case I absolutely love it. There are so many fun activities to do I just can not get enough.

San Diego is known for its beaches, numerous attractions, multiple eateries, and scenic views. Even though it is known as “America’s Finest City”, a large problem is occurring all throughout our neighborhoods. With 8,692 sheltered and unsheltered people calling the streets their home, as of January 29,2016, homelessness is one of the largest and most well-known issue throughout the city (Black et al, 1). Likewise, depending on which studies you are looking at, San Diego is ranked number 3 or 4 with the highest homeless population in the country (McElroy,2016). In downtown, where a majority of the homeless individuals reside, this problem not only effects the appearance of the city, but can also have an impact on the local businesses and hotels.

The city of Las Vegas is considered to be one of the best entertainment locations in the world. Only in Vegas can you find top notch travel amenities and luxurious resorts, accompanied by world class dining and entertainment. Recognized throughout the world, the Las Vegas Strip is the iconic image of dreams and possibilities dependent only on Lady Luck. Not all winning takes place on the craps tables or slot machines. Las Vegas continues to reinvent itself, seeking better and more glamorous ways to enrich the visitors’ experience and score a win for the travel industry. It is this reinvention, this type of guest winning that brings me to discuss and explore the success of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

The economy of Las Vegas as a whole contributes to the sustainability of the city and none of the industrial sectors can survive without the other. This is because everything in Las Vegas is interdependent. Vegas is located in the Nevada desert, the closest large city to Vegas, outside of Nevada, is San Bernardino, CA, which is about 187 miles away. For this reason people who visit Vegas rent rooms in hotels. This is an integral part

Is Las Vegas’ history “conventional,” like most other American cities? One might be tempted to dismiss that idea out of hand, however, a closer look at Las Vegas’ history may surprise the sceptic. Las Vegas’ beginnings was fairly conventional from it’s earliest infancy. Its start as a missionary outpost, to frontier ranch, to a railroad town was rather typical of the discovery and development of a new frontier town. The unsavory social faux pas of drinking, gambling, and prostitution was commonplace in railroad towns (and cities) throughout the country. As expected, Las Vegas too felt the effects of the Great Depression and benefited from Public Works Projects from the federal government--as did many of the cities and towns throughout the country--through the building of the Hoover Dam and

One would never guess that only minutes away from the exciting strip of Las Vegas is the serene community of Henderson. The quiet community is an oasis amid the Mojave Desert. One of Nevada's most popular residential communities, Henderson offers an abundance of attraction, cultural events, great shopping, delicious dining, bountiful trails and open space, and many fantastic recreational facilities. The city is nestled amid the trifecta of Nevada's most renowned man-made attractions, the Las Vegas sign, the Hoover Dam, and the beautiful Lake Mead.

Viva Las Vegas! I believe that growing up in the notorious “sin city” was a very rewarding experience. While some may believe that the gaming industry, which Las Vegas is based on, is an unhealthy habit that benefits the select few companies who own hotel-casinos and other popular venues, I recognize that the gaming industry has done a lot of good for the residents of the city and its suburbs. In fact, people fly in from all over the world to visit Las Vegas and they make our city more diverse. Therefore, I admire the diversity within my community. I love to study languages in school and in my spare time. As a student, I want to major in linguistics at a college of liberal arts. As a result, I appreciate the diversity in Las Vegas
