The Reader's Digest's book 'See the USA the Easy Way' describes Las Vegas as follows:
'Think of it as a giant theme park, and the theme is in excess. On Las Vegas's fabled Strip, you can find billion-dollar hotels, an erupting volcano, a pirate battle at sea, a replica of the Sphinx, jungles, fountains, and neon signs that turn night into day.
Inside the casinos, daylight is eliminated altogether, and in the dark reaches of the vast carpeted rooms you hear the ringing and clanging of slot machines, the siren call to gamblers.'

Relaxed state laws for many years enabled easy, quick divorce and easier, quicker marriages.The Little White Chapel on the Main Strip is one of the many wedding parlours in Las Vegas......

At Treasure Island a daily pirate battle is enacted.....

......at the 'port' constructed at the entrance to the hotel complex.

The Luxor Hotel....the Sphinx at the entrance to the hotel complex that has been constructed within a glass pyramid.

The Luxor Pyramid is of mammoth size (29 million cubic feet). The building contains the casino, hotel, IMAX cinema and state-of-the-art arcade games.
