in City, Neon City, even Adult Disneyland – Las Vegas goes by many nicknames. But it’s not just about partying and


casinos: there really is a Vegas trip for everyone. New flights from the UK highlight just how popular this city is. Low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic has recently announced it will fly from Gatwick three times per week, starting on September 12, while Virgin Atlantic is relaunching its thrice-weekly Manchester service from June 2 – making the city even easier for clients from across the UK to reach. To make the most of a Vegas getaway, choosing the right base is essential. Whether it’s a day spent lounging under the desert sun or some themed fun, one of these six hotels is sure to strike the right note.


BEST FOR… FUN AND GAMES The pyramid-shaped Luxor is hard to miss, with a giant Sphinx marking the entrance. Inside the pyramid/lobby – the world’s largest atrium by volume – is an ancient Egyptian world, with mockups of Abu Simbel and Tutankhamun’s tomb. Besides stalwart entertainers (comedian Carrot Top has been performing here since 2005), the Luxor is also home to Vegas’s first e-sports arena, HyperX,


where a 15-metre TV wall helps virtual footballers


and Formula One drivers get on top of their game. Book it: Kuoni offers five nights room-only in a Pyramid Two Queen room from £1,356 per person, based on two sharing, including flights from


Heathrow on June 5. kuoni.co.uk


BEST FOR… FAMILIES Built in 1946, the Golden Nugget hotel is a taste of old Vegas. The star of the show is the 200,000-gallon shark tank; daring kids and grown-ups can journey through the enclosure on a tube slide. With plenty of family attractions in the Fremont


Street area, from the 11-storey SlotZilla zipline to the fascinating Mob Museum, kids won’t be short of


things to do in downtown. Book it: Tui sells a seven-night room-only stay for a family of four for £3,615 per person, including flights


on July 3. tui.co.uk
