Las Vegas

Las Vegas has consistently been one of the top United States vacation destinations since the late 1970s. It is one of the main convention locations in the U.S.; for several years Las Vegas has had more large trade shows than any other city. Over 30 million visitors came to Las Vegas in 2002.



The world-renowned lineup of luxury hotels and casinos that make up the Las Vegas “Strip" includes nine of the world’s 10 largest hotels. Two new Las Vegas hotels – the Southcoast and the Wynn Las Vegas – are currently in the building stages. Las Vegas already has more than 126,000 hotel rooms, and an average yearly occupancy rate of 90%.

As the number one gambling destination in the world, Las Vegas is known for its casinos, which bring in billions of dollars in revenue each year from “gaming” alone. Gambling has been legal in the state of Nevada since the early 1930s. Las Vegas’ millions of vacationers are drawn to the excitement and variety of games, and the elegance and high level of service they receive.

There is something fun to do in Las Vegas 24 hours a day. There are spectacular, full-production shows, such as Cirque du Soleil’s “O,” performed in and around a 1.5 million gallon pool at the Bellagio resort hotel. Visitors can catch headliner performances with the likes of Celine Dion, Blue Man Group and Carrot Top. The many Las Vegas clubs and lounges provide a wide range of after-hours destinations. While many Las Vegas shows are adults only, Las Vegas features some notable child-friendly entertainment as well, such as the circus acts at Circus-Circus.

Dubbed “Wedding Capitol of the World”, Las Vegas attracts more than 100,000 couples every year. Over 30 wedding chapels offer full-service weddings, ranging from the traditional to special themes. Every type of wedding service imaginable is available in Las Vegas. The laws of Nevada cooperate by not requiring blood tests or a waiting period for a marriage license, and the Las Vegas courthouse is open seven days a week.

The Las Vegas Valley is also the fastest growing residential area in the United Sates, with over 5,000 new Las Vegas residents moving in every month. The new residents are attracted by the desert climate, affordable quality housing and the low cost of living, made even better by the absence of personal city taxes. The job market is also strong in Las Vegas. The city’s business friendly tax laws and tourism opportunities continually attract new businesses and more jobs, primarily in the area of services, construction and light manufacturing. Every year Las Vegas builds new schools, roads and hospitals to keep up with the constant expansion and maintain the high standard of living residents have come to expect. They expect something like the Northbrook lifestyle.
