Dining
Las Vegas is a gourmet's dream come true and a gourmand's hog heaven -- and everything in between. You can spend $300 per person on a three-hour prix-fixe dining extravaganza or stuff yourself silly for less than $20 at most of the 70 buffets. The big resort-casinos have literally a dozen or two choices of eateries, from celebrity chefs to snack bars. Plus, with 2 million residents, the city also has a thriving dining scene away from the hotels, so we also list a cornucopia of non-casino local favorites, plus details of restaurants that cater to those with special dietary needs. Thirsty? From plush lounges to dive bars, microbreweries to wine bars, the drinking opportunities are literally endless (most are open 24 hours).
Clubbing
Las Vegas is arguably the club capital of the world these days, with top local talent and regular visits from world-class DJs who pack the city's numerous and ever-evolving clubs every night of the week. If you want to rub shoulders with a celebrity, any one of the Strip's top party spots is an excellent place to start. Among the many things Las Vegas is famous for is its status as a 24-hour party town. From cool bars to sports bars, from cigar lounges to strip clubs, there's truly something for night owls of every persuasion. Want to shoot some pool or sip cocktails by the pool? Does your favorite drink come in a beer stein or adorned with umbrellas? Whatever your pleasure, you're sure to find somewhere in this section that fits the bill.
Las Vegas Hotels
Las Vegas has upwards of 135,000 hotel and motel rooms, with another 40,000 or so under construction. Rooms here are the least expensive of any large city or tourist destination in the country, subsidized as they are by the casinos attached to all the major hotels, with motels competing against the casinos. But if that makes it sound easy to find the right one, think again. With nearly 40 million visitors needing beds annually, this town fills up fast. Check our recommendations for finding a good inexpensive room with your name on it. (Why inexpensive? Your hotel/motel room is where you'll spend the least time during your stay. Remember the traveler's axiom: Eat sweet, pay for play, but sleep cheap.)
Gambling
The glib ad campaigns, the New Las Vegas demographics, the proliferation of gambling around the country and the world, and all the dining, entertainment, recreation, and shopping options notwithstanding, you come to Las Vegas to gamble. And whether it's the penny slots a penny at a time or $5,000-a-hand blackjack, you want to know how to play, what to play, where to play, when to play, and how to get the most out of your play. It's all here on these pages of LasVegasAdvisor.com, the best gambling-in-Las Vegas information on the Web.

Whether you want to do it on a pirate ship, with an Elvis impersonator, Star Trek-style, or lakeside with a few hundred of your closest friends, Las Vegas has something for everyone nuptial-wise, so it's no surprise that this city hosts around 400 weddings each and every day.
