Las Vegas Vacation Rentals

Flying into Vegas

The city is primarily served by the McCarran International Airport (LAS). To get to the city center, take airport bus lines, such as the Westcliff Airport Express (WAX), Centennial Express (CX), or RTC Bus Route 108 and 109. A number of shuttle bus companies also take passengers across to the Strip, or you could take a limousine or taxi to get to your Vegas vacation rental quickly.

Tickle Your Tastebuds, Vegas-style

Las Vegas's culinary establishments go all out to meet the tastes of its global visitors. For a calorie-laden affair, dine at Heart Attack Grill that offers decadent menu items. Seafood fans have a lot to cheer about with plenty of clam, lobster, prawn, and crab dishes. The city offers it all, from Michelin-starred French restaurants to local steakhouses, English pubs, themed lounges, Irish bars, Asian takeaway, and more.

A Good Time to Visit

The best time to visit is in spring and fall when it's not too cold or hot. Summertime can get particularly busy, so you'll want to book your Vegas accommodation well in advance when visiting in the summer. During winters, it's possible to go skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding mountains (such as in Lee Canyon and on Mt. Charleston), and you can also enjoy the magical year-end festivities on the Strip.

The Sights and Sounds of Vegas

The Aquarium at The Mirage with its dolphin habitat is a good place to start, followed by the fascinating Bodies exhibition at the Luxor. Not for the faint-hearted, it displays thirteen human body specimens and over 260 organs and partial body parts, all carefully dissected and preserved. The Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio are definitely worth exploring along with the 15-acre Flamingo Garden. The Las Vegas Chinatown Plaza has some fabulous shopping and food options, as do the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.

There's much to do in action-packed Las Vegas: a gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel, some climbing at the Red Rock Canyon at the city limits, or perhaps a night-time helicopter ride over the neon lights and dazzling resorts of the Las Vegas Strip. How about a controlled free-fall from the 108th floor? Do it at SkyJump at the Stratosphere Hotel.

There's Art and Culture, Too

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is where the world's greatest film stars, politicians, and athletes await. Next, you can get acquainted with gangsters and cops at the Mob Museum, known for its theater presentations and interactive exhibits. History buffs, how about rummaging through the luggage and ship whistles of the Titanic at the 25,000-square-foot exhibit at Luxor?

Las Vegas tickles with its vibrant improv, stand-up, and celebrity impressions scene. There are also the tribute shows to legends such as the Bee Gees, The Beatles, Abba, Prince, and Frank Sinatra, among others. For a dash of intrigue and magic, choose between shows like The Mentalist at V Theater, David Copperfield at MGM Grand, and many more.

Activities with Children

The family fun begins with the Adventuredome at Circus Circus, the country's largest indoor theme park. The spine-chilling roller coaster at the New York-New York Hotel will leave you screaming for more. Another terrific family option is the Shark Reef Aquarium, which entices kids with its glassy tunnel where sharks, sea turtles, and fish swim overhead. These are only a few options from a multitude available to children and families in and around Vegas. Nature-lovers should check out the national and state parks in the area, such as Lake Mead.

Las Vegas oozes magic, mystery and a certain sensualism. Consider a Las Vegas vacation rental, and come on over!

City of the Night

How does one speak of Las Vegas without mentioning its nightlife? Don't miss the Fremont Street Experience, where free nightly shows dazzle spectators. In the vicinity is the Neon Museum (actually an outdoor lot) with vintage hotel neon signs - watch out for the iconic giant horseshoe made of a thousand golden lights.

Las Vegas is home to seven renowned Cirque du Soleil shows, as well as burlesque and vaudeville productions, such as Absinthe at Caesars Palace, often called "the world's sexiest adult-themed circus." Sensual dance performances, roulette, blackjack, and poker are part of the quintessential Vegas experience, not forgetting the weddings that can be organized!
