illusionists, with the help of their exotic, beautiful and endangered
white tigers, still play to packed houses after 30 years on the Strip.

the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas during the summertime. They
are a musical choreographed fountain show that'll stop you in your
tracks.
• Vegas is a year-round
tourist destination, with some dropoff during July and August, when
