Las Vegas flourished as a desert oasis (or the “Sin City” as Americans call it), in the middle of nowhere, thanks to its casinos, unparalleled nightlife scene spiced up with extravagant shows, as well as its luxury hotels and malls imitating Egyptian pyramids and Venetian architecture. Many of its main attractions are lined up along The Strip -the main artery of the city that stretches up for 7 kms. A helicopter tour would be the best way to grasp what this ambitious city is all about! Grand Canyon, on the other hand, is one of the natural wonders of the world that could be accessed by a day tour from Las Vegas. The rock formations overlooking the Colorado River can best be enjoyed during the sunrise or sunset.
