Often called the Entertainment Capital of the World, this vibrant city in Nevada is famous for the Las Vegas Strip, lined with luxury hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues. Visitors can enjoy spectacular shows, lively nightlife, fine dining, and world-class shopping. We have visited the city several times, most recently in 2015, walking the Strip and enjoying some hotel hopping.

Encore and Wynn – Encore is a luxury, all-suite hotel located on the Las Vegas Strip and connected to its sister property, Wynn, by a walkway. Known for their upscale and sophisticated atmosphere, the property offers elegant rooms, fine dining, a relaxing spa, and pools.
Venetian Hotel – This hotel features an Italian-inspired design with replicas of Venice’s canals, gondolas, and St. Mark’s Square.
Inside, elaborately hand-painted ceilings—especially in the main lobby and Grand Canal Shoppes—show frescoes and realistic sky scenes that create the illusion of day or night. These grand ceilings make guests feel as if they are strolling through Venice while enjoying upscale shopping, dining, and the lively casino.
