Introducing Las Vegas
Vegas is the ultimate escape. Time is irrelevant here, especially after a few frenzied and intoxicating sleepless nights on the Strip. There are no clocks inside casinos, just never-ending buffets, ever-flowing drinks and adrenaline-fueled gaming tables. Almost any desire can be gratified instantly, since the USA’s fastest-growing metropolis and its luxe megaresorts stand ready to cater to your every whim 24/7. Emptying your wallet never felt so damn good.

Hot tips for Vegas? Before you lose all of your bucks, spend a night agog at the tricks and tunes of Terry Fator at the Mirage, followed by a relaxed drink looking over the lights of the city up at the Mix lounge. In the mid-morning take a stroll down to the Bellagio and jump on the free shuttle bus to the uberglam Liberace Museum; a surreal, truly Vegas, sequined bonanza.
Often regarded like America’s dirty little secret, Sin City is a bastion of naughty, hangover-inducing weekends for people from all walks of life. You can reinvent yourself a hundred times over or hide out with your lover in a hotel room for days. It doesn’t even matter if you play the penny slots or drop a bankroll each and every night – you’re guaranteed to leave town convinced you’ve just had the time of your life.
