For those of you who would like to experience that sights and sounds of Las Vegas during your trip, here is some information to help you out.

Las Vegas, an ever-changing fantasy-land of a city, has seen unbelievable expansion since it emerged from the desert just over 100 years ago. The sights and sounds of Las Vegas are enjoyed by over 39.2 million visitors every year. They stay in some of the most glamorous, unique hotels in the world. They eat at five-star restaurants and expansive buffets. They play at casinos, pools, health spas and golf courses. Sometimes (many times, actually) they even marry each other.

You will be dazzled by Vegas, but the sheer number of things to see and do can seem overwhelming. A little advance planning will help you to enjoy your Vegas trip.

Beginning with our host hotel, The Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, where you can enjoy time at the spa, do some shopping, partake in some gambling or check out the show that was voted the #1 show in Vegas by the Las Vegas Review Journal - Mamma Mia!

Or take a walk onto "the Vegas strip" where you will all types of fun and exciting things to do. There are tons of shows and other entertainment to choose from, here are some shows that we recommend:
