I went to Las Vegas at the beginning of the month and wrote a travel note.

Introduction to Las Vegas

Las Vegas is located in southern Nevada, USA, in the vast Mojave Desert. The most famous nickname is “Sin City”. The nickname stems from Las Vegas’ reputation as a gambling and entertainment center. In addition, Las Vegas is also known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World” because it gathers the world’s top entertainment performances and performing arts activities.

The location of Las Vegas is amazing. Surrounded by the Mojave Desert, it is flat and arid. The history of Las Vegas can be traced back to the early 20th century. At first, it was just a small town that mainly served the construction workers of the nearby railroad. However, as Nevada legalized gambling in the 1930s, Las Vegas began its meteoric rise as a gambling and entertainment paradise. Casinos, resorts and luxury hotels have sprung up, attracting gamblers and entertainment lovers from around the world.

Therefore, Las Vegas is a veritable policy city. The legalization of gambling has brought a steady stream of passengers and funds, which support the development of the entertainment and catering industries.

Hoover Dam

On the way to Las Vegas, you will pass through a small town that was built to maintain the famous Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam (Hoover Dam) is a giant dam located on the border between Nevada and Arizona in the United States. It was built between 1931 and 1936. It straddles the Colorado River and is located about 48 kilometers southeast of Las Vegas. As one of the most famous water conservancy projects in the United States, the Hoover Dam attracts tourists from all over the world with its magnificent landscape and huge scale. Roughly 221 meters high, the concrete arch dam intercepts the Colorado River and forms Lake Mead, one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. The main purpose of the Hoover Dam is to control the flooding of the Colorado River, provide irrigation water, and generate electricity.

So when there are deserts nearby, a magical city like Las Vegas will appear.

Without this reservoir, the road would be full of such desert scenery.

Because I don’t like gambling, we came to Las Vegas this time mainly to eat food and watch the show.

O Show

Absolutely recommend this show. It is really exciting. I recommend the front row seats. The impression is explosive.

In all fairness, this is a hodgepodge of traditional musicals + acrobatics + synchronized swimming + clown performances, but the key to the hodgepodge lies in the fact that you need to tell a good story, with prominent points and clear layers. The key is technology and hard work, and the design of the stage and choreography has reached perfection.
