If you're looking for a dance (but not that kind of dance), then the biggest and easily the best
nightclubs are in the hotels - try Rain at Palms, Studio54 at the MGM Grand or Ra at the Luxor. On busy

Sightseeing |
While most cities have particular entertainment districts for tourists to visit among other attractions, Las Vegas is one giant entertainment district. Las Vegas Boulevard (the central attraction for this 24-hour city) runs through the heart of Downtown, in the north of the city, and turns into the Strip, in the south. The city is divided into two halves - Downtown and the Strip. Downtown (also known as ‘Glitter Gulch’ for the bright neon signs and millions of flashing lights) is the living embo…
