As a made-in-the-USA phenomenon, the Vegas spectacular features marvels such as waterfalls, volcanoes, fireworks and casts of hundreds (including animals).  Las Vegas is a shimmering tribute to excess, an oasis of vice and greed, and one place to have a very, very good time.  The entertainment is outstanding; the gigantic buffets fill even the bottomless appetite, with some of the best restaurants in the world and the best shopping on the Strip at the Fashion Show Mall. For those who want a little more in the way of real sightseeing, head off to the Hoover Dam, 30 miles from Las Vegas.  Built to subdue the Colorado River and provide water and energy to the Southwest, the 726 foot colossus furnishes jet-skiers with azure waters to churn and there are excellent tours and a Centre to explore the dam's history as well as tours to the generators at the structure's bottom. For the ultimate sight, those not even the finest photographs can convey, visit the Grand Canyon National Park.  This awesome, vastly silent, ancient erosion of the surface of our planet is 277 miles long, 17 miles across at its widest spot and more than 1 mile deep at it lowest point.  Its twisted and contorted layers of rock reveal a fascinating geological profile of the earth, with colours changing with the hours.
