the playground of America

Experience life on a grand scale and let your imagination run wild on a Las Vegas holiday from The Co-operative Travel.

The bright lights and brash casinos and nightclubs are still in place, but the playground of America has stepped into the 21st century with more varied entertainment, new thrill rides and incredible shops designed to woo the modern visitor.

Of course, the hotels in Las Vegas are destinations themselves – you can stay in one modelled on a pyramid, imagine you’re next to the Eiffel Tower, or even find one with a rollercoaster on the roof. There’s plenty of choice of more down-to-earth places to stay too, putting a  package holiday or all-inclusive holiday within everyone’s reach.

A little further afield, a Las Vegas holiday offers beautiful, modern golf courses, trendy and reasonably-priced out-of-town shopping malls, and even the chance to sample hospitality on a genuine cattle ranch.

experience the amazing grand canyon

If you’re looking for a break from the bright lights, and want to see some more natural wonders, then a visit to the Grand Canyon during your Las Vegas holiday is a must. This wonder of the natural world is an awe-inspiring sight from the air, and you can experience this view to end all views on a helicopter flight over the Canyon.

Another free attraction not to be missed is the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand Hotel, where you can walk beneath the big cats’ pen in a transparent walkway. Then there’s the amazing Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, a 1.6 million gallon aquarium built to look like a sunken temple where you can view more than 15 species of shark and more than 100 species of marine animals from turtles to crocodiles.

Petrolheads must visit the Las Vegas Motor Speedway just a few miles out of town, where burn-ups and tyre-squealing action takes place weekly. The Caroll Shelby Museum right by the Speedway entrance has exhibits detailing the 35-year history of this uniquely American form of motorsport.

You can indulge your passion for shopping in so many ways on a Las Vegas holiday. Many hotels have their own malls attached, but look a little further and you’ll find lots of more eclectic stores catering for the most demanding souvenir-hunter.

Restaurants and bars cater for every conceivable taste, from a simple burger to the best in fine dining, with great value to be had at the numerous all-you-can-eat buffet establishments too.

Then once you’re stoked up, you can release all that energy by dancing into the small hours or just relaxing over a few drinks in a myriad of clubs and bars which reinforce Las Vegas’ reputation as a 24-hour city.

So for a break which is big in every sense, choose a Las Vegas holiday from The Co-operative Travel. We can show you where to experience the essence of this amazing town, and you can find great all-inclusive and last minute deals too.
