There is more to Las Vegas than just gambling or weddings. If you want to dine in luxury (or on a budget), get the best factory and designer shopping bargains and catch gob-smacking attractions, I can unravel all the essentials to make your Las Vegas holiday a roaring success.

Las Vegas's hotels are among the city's biggest attractions. Huge resorts line the neon-drenched Las Vegas Strip offering a fabulous selection of restaurants, theatres, casinos, nightclubs, spas, showrooms, shopping and gob-smacking attractions.

With many hotels boasting international themes, a stroll along The Strip will take you around the world from Egypt to Paris! Check out exploding volcanoes, Venetian canals and world-class art galleries all on one street.

And take your camera. Because no-one at home will believe what you've seen With a reputation as a showbiz Mecca, cemented by the likes of the Rat Pack and Elvis, modern Las Vegas offers a plethora of entertainment options including Celine Dion, Cirque du Soleil, top-notch impersonators, rock concerts, cabaret, magic shows, world-class sporting events and even dance parties. Don't expect too many early nights!

Adrenalin junkies looking for a hit away from the casinos will not be disappointed. From roller coasters, virtual reality simulator rides, gravityzone skydiving and white-water rafting to a helicopter ride down the Strip. Try the simple thrill of the Stratosphere where you shoot 160 feet in the air and then freefall back down. There's a thrill to suit everyone.

For some good old-fashioned fun (relatively speaking) there are indoor and outdoor theme parks; medieval-style jousting over dinner at King Arthur's Tournament at Excalibur; Madame Tussaud's wax museum; a shark reef at Mandalay Bay; Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton; the Imperial Palace's collection of antique automobiles; the Liberace Museum; and Elvis-O-Rama, a museum packed with Elvis memorabilia and trivia.

Watch the spectacular dancing fountains at Bellagio from the side walk, choreographed to move in time to the dulcet tones of Frank Sinatra, Henri Mancini and the London Symphony Orchestra; The White Tiger Habitat and the Erupting Volcano at the Mirage; the Lion Habitat at MGM Grand; the Pirate Ship Battle at the T.I Hotel; feeding time at the Wildlife Habitat or the Fremont Street Experience light show.

With Las Vegas's 294 days of sunshine a year means fantastic holiday weather whenever you go. Winters generally offer crisp, blue-skied days suitable for long-sleeved shirts and light jumpers, while winter nights are cold. Autumn and spring are glorious, with the days generally warm. Once again, it can get quite cool in the evenings.

Las Vegas's summers are very hot and no warm clothing will be needed at all. During the summer, the early mornings are the best time to schedule outdoor activities such as excursions to the Grand Canyon or golf.

There are various airlines that fly to Las Vegas from London or Manchester and the flying time is around 11hrs.
