Las Vegas or simply Vegas is a Hollywood for everyone. You are no longer one of the audience, but rather part of the show. This is the only place in the world where one can have an up close and personal experience with ancient pictographs, the Eiffel Tower and the Venetian waterways, in as little as a couple of hours. This area in the dessert has transformed itself into one of the world's most luxurious places. Nothing is impossible in Vegas - even fantasies are becoming true.

The Paris Las Vegas Hotel features a half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower where tourists can appreciate the beautiful views of Vegas from the 50th storey. When the night falls, the tower transforms itself into a splendid evening dress of dazzling neon lights. It's a magnifi cent place not to be missed on the Las Vegas Boulevard.

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, inspired by amphitheaters of ancient Rome, is one of the major theatres in Vegas. Taking up a total of 5 acres, the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is yet another one of the best outdoor amenities in the city. A collection of lavish watering holes and pools, named after ancient Roman mythology, spread over the place like scattered pearls on a plate.

在拉斯維加斯遇見(jiàn)巴黎

拉斯維加斯——這座從荒漠中興起的不夜城，燈紅酒綠，歌舞升平，每年吸引著全球?qū)⒔那Ф嗳f(wàn)人次旅客來(lái)此旅游。而將世界名勝搬入拉斯維加斯，更是這座城市的建造者們想象力的綻放。

拉斯維加斯是每一個(gè)人的好萊塢，在這里，你不是臺(tái)下的觀眾，你就是戲中人。這是世界上唯一一個(gè)可以在僅僅數(shù)小時(shí)之內(nèi)看到古老象形文、埃菲爾鐵塔、威尼斯水道的地方。盡管這只是復(fù)制品，但是這個(gè)小小的沙漠已經(jīng)將自己變?yōu)槭澜缟献钌萑A的地方之一。在這里，沒(méi)有什么不可以，即便是幻想。

巴黎大酒店以法國(guó)巴黎埃菲爾鐵塔為原型，以二分之一比例建造了另一座鐵塔。游客可在50層的鐵塔上面觀賞拉斯維加斯的美景。每當(dāng)華燈綻放、夜幕降臨時(shí)，鐵塔洗凈白晝鉛華，換上晚禮服，通體金碧輝煌，絢燦奪目，是拉斯維加斯大道上不可錯(cuò)過(guò)的一處美景。

拉斯維加斯一個(gè)重要的劇場(chǎng)——羅馬大劇場(chǎng)，是仿照著名古跡古羅馬斗獸場(chǎng)而建。在拉斯維加斯最棒的戶(hù)外休閑區(qū)之一“諸神花園”，得名于古羅馬神話(huà)的多個(gè)華麗泳池星羅棋布，仿若一顆顆散落的珍珠。
