Famed for its tourism and casinos, the greater Las Vegas Metropolitan area is the largest in the state.

Situated in the middle of the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas can get a bit hot, but those who love the sun appreciate its daily appearance, as well as the mild winters.

Outside the casinos, the Las Vegas area is home to dozens of parks, and a number of quirky museums such as the Neon Museum, which displays historical signs from retired attractions, and the National Atomic Testing Museum.
