Las Vegas is an internationally-renowned, iconic city that comes with breathtaking hotels, resorts and casinos. In fact, 14 of the world’s 25 largest hotels (by room number) are all located in Las Vegas Strip, a street that goes through Paradise, Winchester and Las Vegas. The only problem for those who want to visit Las Vegas is that it is located in a remote place, amid a large desert.
