Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada. As of 2005, its population was estimated as 545,147.
Las Vegas is internationally known as a vacation destination, thanks to the lavish resorts, and extensive shopping and entertainment facilities. Because of this, Las Vegas is sometimes known as "The Entertainment Capital of the World", however its most famous area, the "Las Vegas Strip", is actually largely in the unincorporated town of Paradise.
Some of the attractions in the Las Vegas area include:

Here is some more information about the area:
