The true attraction of Las Vegas lies in its amazing contrasts- the ones that God intended, and the one that man created. It's amazing to see how the two have come to coexist.
On the strip you will find thousands of acres of tropical rainforest, lions and tigers, dolphins and sharks, gigantic fountains, huge throngs of people in a city that never sleeps. But over 40 miles away, beyond the gigantic man-made Lake Mead , a strange world miraculously appears- a stark, rugged, desolate landscape where only the toughest can survive.
We start our tour of Las Vegas attractions amid the glitz and glamour of the Strip.
