Las Vegas, Nevada, is always reinventing itself. As older Las Vegas hotels remodel (which they seem to do every five years or so) and newer resorts are built, expect more luxury, including high-end linens, top-notch culinary experiences and spectacular shows.
Gambling is—of course—still a big draw, but fewer than half of current visitors go for gaming. Entertainment, including shopping, night-clubbing, dining, shows and the fabulous outdoor opportunities available within a short drive, makes Las Vegas one of the most-visited destinations in the world.

These neighborhood joints, which attract Las Vegans in droves, boast some of the best odds, greatest meal deals, least expensive entertainment and best service you'll find on a visit to Las Vegas. Community destinations have had an increasing sense of style and sophistication.
