L.V. Preps to Celebrate Centennial Birthday With More Than Gambling

Las Vegas turns one-hundred years old Sunday, May 15, 2005, and the State Commission on Tourism is doing all it can to help kick the centennial celebration into motion.  The official website for Las Vegas is www.visitlasvegas.com, where information about all the latest happenings can be found.  Right now there are special offers available at several hotels and casino resorts, which the website will help prospective visitors book in advance.

Entertainment is always a major agenda in Sin City.  Right now Celine Dion is still on, with Kenny Chesney and Reba McEntire performing in June, and Elton John doing shows in July.  In addition, there are always the jaw-dropping Cirque du Soleil shows playing everyday.  The new Wynn Resort is starting up its own circus show, produced by the same group that created the Cirque shows.

The Las Vegas Commission is also trying to promote some of the lesser known – but just as exciting – activities other than casino gambling and night-life. Breath-taking, scenic tours of the Grand Canyon, Death Valley National Park, as well as the Hoover Dam, which supplies the seemingly endless output of electricity to the city, are always available for sight seers. 

If you are still not satisfied, visitors can set up helicopter tours (on the Grand Canyon), attend sporting events, participate in sporting events (Las Vegas has some of the best golfing in the  world) and of course, get married.  The Las Vegas website even has information for wedding engagements, including links to planners, churches and photographers.

If you have ever thought about visiting Las Vegas, now is one of the best times.  With newly opened casino resorts, recently refurbished older resorts, and a centennial birthday party, all of Las Vegas guarantees non-stop fun and excitement.
