Las Vegas is one of the most famous cities<\/a> in America, the capital of the global casino industry and a place of a wide variety of entertainment<\/a>. Hundreds of people come here every day in the hope of hitting the jackpot and diversifying their lives. But it was not always so. The legalization of forbidden entertainment<\/a> in 1931 marked the beginning of the active development<\/a> of the gambling bus<\/a>iness, and over the years, dozens of prest<\/a>igious casinos began to bring very substantial profits to their owners. Now Las Vegas is a world<\/a>-famous city<\/a> that receives about 40 million visitors annually. And this is no coincidence: more than 1000 gambling houses, hundreds of casinos, dozens of hotel<\/a>s – there is undoubtedly something to see here! But what else is remarkable about the “sin city<\/a>“, in addition to the colorful signs of fashionable hotels<\/a> and alluring lights of gaming establishments?<\/p>\n

\"Sights<\/a><\/p>\n

You don't have to pay anything for entertainment. Just come and enjoy. The hotel is located<\/a> on the Las Vegas Strip. It is believed that the volcano was created with only one purpose – to surpass another attraction of Las Vegas, the dancing fountains<\/a> of Bellagio.<\/p>\n

\"Sights<\/a><\/p>\n

They dance and fascinate with iridescent colors of water jets. The peculiarity of this unusual attraction is that the design of the fountain is controlled by a computer, the program on which is designed specifically to create the effect of “dance movements”. The fountain successfully “performs” the compositions of Madonna, Frank Sinatra, Elton John and about 20 more musical works by world performers. $40 million was spent on the construction of the main decoration of the Bellagio! But there is no doubt that guests stay<\/a>ing in the rooms of one of the most expensive and famous hotels<\/a> in Las Vegas fully recouped these costs. Address<\/a>: 3600 Las Vegas Boulevard S., Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"Sights<\/a><\/p>\n

A piece of France in Las Vegas, a copy of the world-famous main architectural structure of Paris<\/a>. You can find an attraction near the hotel, named after the capital of the French state. The design is half the size of its prototype, but it looks no less spectacular, especially for those who did not manage to see<\/a> the original.<\/p>\n

The creators of the Eiffel Tower<\/a> in Las Vegas approached its construction with the care of jewelry masters: the structure is not only similar to the French tower in appearance, but also repeats its entire internal structure.

\"Sights<\/a><\/p>\n

It differs from other attractions<\/a> in Las Vegas with its natural origin. Oceanic and volcanic rocks have created an amazing landscape covered in fiery colors.

\"Sights<\/a><\/p>\n

It rises opposite the City Hall and is located in the courthouse. It tells the story of the formation of criminal structures in the city, as well as the emergence of various criminal gangs, the financial flows of which largely helped the development of the entertainment industry and the transformation of Las Vegas into the capital of the gambling business. The exhibits of the museum are represented by objects of the criminal environment of the 20th century. Here you can see firearms and bladed weapons used in clashes between representatives of criminal gangs, their clothes, shoes and other elements of forbidden life.<\/p>\n

Part<\/a>icular attention should be paid to the electric chair, which at one time became the last refuge for many lawbreakers sentenced to death.
