The Entertainment Capital of the World! Las Vegas is known for its many casinos, and most of the famous ones are found along the Strip. It's a large road, Las Vegas Blvd, that goes straight through most of the city. Some of the most famous hotels and casinos are Caesar's Palace, MGM Grand, and The Venetian.
