London to Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas! Just imagine; the sun, the casinos, the bright lights and the whirlwind romances.

Just saying the name puts a smile on your face and you get a burst of excitement when you realise you could actually be there, but this is more than a distant dream, you could be there this year.

Time is completely irrelevant in Las Vegas. After a few frenzied nights out on The Strip, you may even lose track of the day. That’s the beauty of the city, though; it never sleeps. Hotels in Las Vegas are spread throughout the area. Many are suitable for those with a considerably high budget. Then there are those more suitable for holidaymakers planning on spending more time out and about than in their room.

Las Vegas has become the USA’s fastest growing metropolis. Everything is available to you 24-7; what more could you want from an adventure abroad?

There are a few hot tips for Las Vegas which may be worthwhile to consider before you hop on the plane. The Mirage is where you can witness some tricks and tunes by Terry Fator. Enjoy a relaxing drink looking out over the lights of this magnificent city at the Mix Lounge. In the morning you could the take a stroll towards the Bellagio and use the free shuttle bus to the Liberace Museum, a Vegas-style, sequin-covered experience.

Each casino has at least one cash machine, so watch your spending; it’s so easy to get immersed in the glitz and the glamour of the city.

If you wish to take a day away from all the glamour, then it is easy to get to the Grand Canyon. Spend a day taking in the breathtaking views of a national treasure.

Booking a last minute trip to Las Vegas has never been easier, with great deals available to you. If you’ve not been able to book your holiday to Las Vegas already then get online and book one now. A holiday that promises to be both exciting and relaxing; blow-out at the casinos, watch exciting shows and performances and visit the world-famous landmarks.

Unfortunately, there are some of us who aren’t able to spend the money or take the time to travel as far as the wilds of America. If you are one of these people then do not fret; there are plenty of other holidays available to you, with just as much excitement and plenty to see.

London, for example, may not seem to be a prime holiday destination to those that already live in the UK, but this city has just as much to offer as Las Vegas. Exciting shows are cropping up all over the place, Theatreland around Piccadilly Circus has both new performances and long-running shows which attracts visitors to many of its theatres.

London hotels are just as luxurious and can also fit a more modest budget. All hotels offer many of the same facilities and amenities that will make your stay more comfortable. The hotels in London are easy to locate and many are situated in close proximity to a tube station or bus stop. Getting around London has become much easier in recent times with greater investment in public transport.

There are also casinos in London. There may not be as many on the same stretch of road, but the casino experience can be had by all visitors at the age of majority. Bars, clubs, cafés and pubs are a plenty. So are many high-profile clubs such as Fabric and China White if you fancy a bit of celeb spotting on a night out. Or chill out with a glass of wine in hide-away wine bars along the Embankment.

Or, you could head towards the Jazz Café above Foyle’s bookshop on Charing Cross Road for a mid-afternoon coffee or an evening listening to local jazz talent.

There are historical sites to visit, too; the Tower of London and the London Dungeons for example, will give you a frightening look back into London’s history. Or visit somewhere a little newer; Hyde Park recently became the home to the London bombings memorial. This peaceful part of the park offers you time to reflect, away from the hustle and bustle of the more bustling parts of the city.

The only thing really setting these two cities apart is their location and journey times. They both have similar nightlife and both strive to offer holidaymakers a good time. Being open-minded to holidays within the UK is just as worthwhile, but whichever you go for, booking a last minute holiday to either couldn’t be easier.
