Las Vegas Attractions
The answer to what to see in Las Vegas completely depends on who you ask. Many people would say that, beyond the strip, there is not much to see in Las Vegas, while others believe that every corner of the city has something to offer.
The first thing that any visitor to Las Vegas should do is tour the most famous hotels and casinos. Just visiting these could take several days due to their colossal size.
Rather than specific places, we will talk about the two main areas that divide the city – the Strip and Fremont Street. Within these, there are different zones with their own names such as The Linq.
