Never known for its restraint, Las Vegas is rapidly evolving from its Sin City heritage into a world-class travel destination. The new Las Vegas appeals to a variety of travellers ranging from families to adventurers to Southwest aficionados. The second edition of Ultimate Las Vegas and Beyond has been expanded far beyond its comprehensive coverage of the casino scene. In addition to touring new theme parks, high-tech resorts, and interactive museums, this practical guidebook uncovers a little-known side of this fabled community: its unique shopping districts and unusual restaurants, local arts and crafts shops, and spectacular areas of natural beauty.
