Las Vegas Information Center

About Vegas

Welcome to Las Vegas, the city of decadent paradox. A city that renders its hotels obsolete, as you will never want to sleep, and yet, makes them so luxurious, that you will never want to leave your room. In this Vegas information center we bring you everything you need to know about Las Vegas - a bounty of the best hotels, shows, attractions, casino games, events and nightlife venues for you to experience the city to its fullest.

Let's begin with a little background info. While Las Vegas is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, the city first started out as a pioneer stopover and quickly became a railroad town in the 1900’s. With the completion of the Hoover Dam in 1935, the city got its first major tourist attraction.

The legalization of gambling opened a whole new industry as America's organized crime groups realized the opportunity to make money, (and took advantage of it in style). Many of the original Vegas hotels were managed and funded by infamous mob personas such as Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Meyer Lansky. In the late 1960’s, billionaire Howard Hughes took over the city by purchasing numerous hotels, opening the doors for other legitimate investors to follow suit. Today, Vegas’s only true rival in gambling revenues is the Chinese city of Macau.

The major sources of revenue in present day Vegas are gaming, tourism and conventions. Our Vegas information center covers them all with up-to-date Las Vegas information.

Some 37.5 million tourists come to Vegas every year. The best thing about Vegas is that the city offers its visitors an enormous variety of entertainment options and some of the most luxurious hotels in the world. With such an abundance of things to do and see, some advance planning is highly recommended. You can arrange your visit around a specific theme or event such as a bachelor party, a wedding, food tasting, a night on the town, rolling the dice, or a family week of fun. Whichever you choose, the city has all the attractions to help you celebrate in style, with lots of Kodak moments for you to remember, and maybe even some to forget. As the saying goes: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
