Travel Media

For 50 years, up until the early 1990s, the name Las Vegas was synonymous with adult entertainment. It existed for one reason and one reason only: gambling. Then the city attempted to remake itself as a family destination, adding roller coasters, animal attractions, and arcades to its predominantly adult lineup. The strategy didn't really take, as an explosion of topless shows and after-hours nightclubs over the past two or three years would seem to indicate. But the legacy of Las Vegas' family "experiment" lingers: fabulous theme hotels such as the Luxor, New York-New York, the Venetian, the Aladdin, and Paris Las Vegas, as well as amusement parks such as Wet 'n Wild and the Adventuredome provide a minivacation's worth of excitement -- no slot machines or blackjack tables required.

Personally, I find everything about Las Vegas to be 'over the top' but it is a place that everyone MUST see! You can always escape to the lake (Mead) if it overwhelms you. Alternatively, take to the skies for a scenic flight of the Grand Canyon.
