"The largest adult playground in the... " a Las Vegas Travel Page by venteeocho

Las Vegas, Nevada is the largest adult playground in the world. It is a city dedicated to gambling and entertainment. Everything in Las Vegas is done (or overdone) on a grand, spectacular scale.Along the strip, there is a glass walled pyramid hundreds of meters high with a larger than full sized replica of the Sphinx. In the next block, you see a larger than life sized castle with garishly colored turrets. Across the street, is a realistic three-dimensional skyline of New York City, complete with a Brooklyn Bridge and a Statue of Liberty.

A bit further down, past the giant volcano that erupts a huge ball or fire every 30 minutes, you find a full-scale British man-of-war doing battle with a full-scale pirate ship in front of a sidewalk filled with spectators.
In Las Vegas, you often ask yourself, "Is this really a city, or am I in a fantastic amusement park on some other planet?"Las Vegas is best known for its non-stop entertainment, massive casinos, and luxurious hotels--for those wanting a good time, look no further than Las Vegas.
The city is an amazing feat of engineering since it was built out of nothing in the early 20th century: no irrigation, no roads, no people. But everything has changed since then. Have a look at Las Vegas and lose yourself in the excitement!
