Sure, you've heard that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas -and you'll surely help put the "sin" in Sin City. But when you're ready to jump off the bar and curb your gambling habit, plenty of fun awaits you: luxurious spas, quirky museums, lavish pools, and gut-busting buffets.
If you're a fan of gaming, Las Vegas surpassed fabulous long ago, and is now absolutely stellar. But what's truly wonderful about this city is that it's actually developed into an amazingly well-rounded destination. Today, Las Vegas is one of the most exciting dining cities in the world and the variety of dazzling, outlandish shows and super-exclusive nightclubs continues to increase. If the city hasn't exactly become a major cultural hub, there's still enough to see and do both on and off the Strip to keep you busy for days.

Vegas gets a bad rap for its brutally hot and dry summers, but the climate here is actually pretty wonderful most of the year, with an average of 300 days of sunshine annually. Even during the warmer months (June-September), it's entirely bearable.
The highs hover around 100°F with no humidity, and virtually every interior inch of this city is air-conditioned. Just drink lots of water, and we mean lots and lots.
The rest of the year, expect still more sun and only the occasional rainy days (the average annual rainfall is 4 inches) and wonderfully pleasant temps, with highs in the 70s and 80s in spring and fall, and in the upper 50s and 60s in winter.
Freezing temperatures are rare, but desert nights can get chilly between late fall and early spring, so bring a sweater or windbreaker for your evening strolls beneath the neon-bathed skies.

Spectacular Spectaculars: Will it be strange, cavorting Blue Men, or a sophisticated Cirque du Soleil acrobatic extravaganza? An afternoon comedy show, or Broadway light (90-minute cut-downs of the original New York theater productions)? A classic feather revue, or nouveau burlesque? Maybe you're just in the mood for a plain-old lounge show. Vegas has all the over-the-top razzle-dazzle you could ever hope for.
Gut-busting Buffets: Buffets in Las Vegas - those tributes to extravagance and excess - are an event in and of themselves. There are still plenty of cheapies-but-goodies around, especially if you're willing to cast farther afield and explore some of the local casinos. But now that the city's become renowned as a gourmet food place, those ubiquitous buffets have followed suit. Loosen those belts, and get ready to pig out.
Rolling the Dice: Never mind those buffets, swimming pools, spas, traffic jams, dancing girls (and boys, and water), wedding chapels, circus acts, and cavorting sea life. It's Vegas, baby, and you're here to gamble.
