| The true attraction of Las
Vegas lies in its amazing contrasts- the ones that God intended, and the one that
man created. It's amazing to see how the two have come to coexist. On
the strip you will find thousands of acres of tropical rainforest, lions and tigers,
dolphins and sharks, gigantic fountains, huge throngs of people in a city that
never sleeps. But over 40 miles away, beyond the gigantic man-made Lake Mead ,
a strange world miraculously appears- a stark, rugged, desolate landscape where
only the toughest can survive. We start our tour of Las
Vegas attractions amid the glitz and glamour of the Strip. Nowhere else on earth
will you find the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge ( New
York , New York ), the majestic Sphinx and King Tut's tomb ( Luxor ), the
gondolas of Venice (Venetian)
and 'ancient' Roman villages (The Forum) within just a few miles from each other.

Conservatory and Botanical Gardens , which undergoes dramatic seasonal changes
four times a year. You will also enjoy the Bellagio
Gallery of Fine Art , which has showcased the works of van Gogh, Renoir, Matisse
and Cézanne. Head down the strip to the non-profit
