From the neon glow of the Strip hotels and their outrageous decoration to the natural beauty of the Red Rock canyons and Mt. Charleston, Las Vegas provides a diverse vacation environment. Golf courses speckle the city; local tour companies travel to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. The casinos themselves have grown far beyond their original role - flop houses for gamblers - to become attractions in their own right. Today, the casinos are mammoth - many with over 3,000 rooms - and enclose restaurants, theme parks, night clubs, and retail centers.
