We see a lot of beautiful pictures of the Las Vegas Strip at night with all the bright lights and colors, and not so many taken during daylight hours. It almost looks like a regular city!

Lavo (latin for “to bathe or cleanse”) is a “bi-level restaurant and club that balances Mediterranean dining against Vegas-style performance art — most notably, in both stairwell wall nooks and […]

We’re in the last several weeks of (official) summer and while I’ve written about public pools in Vegas for families and kids, several hotels on the Strip (or just off) also offer deals and specific swim times for adults only:

If you’re tired of walking up and down the Strip and need a break and a pick-me-up, stop by the New York New York’s Roller Coaster!
Formerly called the Manhattan Express, The Roller Coaster is nearly 5000 feet of drops, lifts and a “heartline” twist, shuttling you along in taxicab-themed cars at 67 miles per […]

The Luxor Sphinx, photographed by flickr user g-hat, towers over visitors to the Strip hotel and casino. The smaller statue under the sphinx’s chin is about 25 feet tall!

The Las Vegas Monorail (technically the Robert N. Broadbent Las Vegas Monorail) was finally completed and opened to the public in July 2004.

You have to admit it takes some talent to make construction, of which Vegas has in abundance, look beautiful!
The above shot of the Strip this past January is from flickr user http2007.

The Citizens Area Transit, or CAT bus (no, not that one!), of Las Vegas and Henderson is one of the most affordable ways to make your way around the city!
The route that runs the Strip features a double decker (pictured above) called The Deuce, and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week and […]

We had a wonderful break in our weather last week - it actually got pretty chilly again! But now we’re back up where we’re supposed to be this time of year and many locals and visitors are starting to think of ways to keep cool.
One popular destination is Lake Mead, located just 30 miles southeast […]
