Las Vegas, the Brightest City in the World
It may conjure up images of glitz, glamour and winning it big at casinos
, but a stunning nightlife isn't all there is to Las Vegas - though it does comprise of a large part of it. In fact, Las Vegas' enigmatic night owlishness is what has caused it to be recognised as the world's brightest city - literally. Thanks to the thousands of illuminated signs and flashing lights, Vegas has broken records with its luminescence and can even be seen from space.
There's certainly a truth to the idea of Vegas as a party town, and this isn't just because of the dominance of casinos and clubs in the downtown area. There's also various parties and celebrations that take place as often as every month, such as the First Friday celebration. This event occurs on the first Friday of every month and serves as an excuse for the city's local artists and musicians to bring their latest works of art and orchestration to the public eye in a celebration of Vegas' creative scene. First Friday takes place in an area of downtown Vegas known tellingly as the Arts District and is packed with opportunities for art and music lovers. During the course of the day, you'll be able to take in a plethora of exciting new art and sculpture, as well as making the most of the chance to hear fantastic new sets from local Vegas bands live and uncharged - which is what makes this monthly event so popular.
The Vegas arts scene may be neglected when the city is being talked about on a national or international level, but it is actually one of the most prominent aspects of the city's personality - and something that should not be missed, so if you are planning a trip to this enigmatic and welcoming city, try to arrange it around the first Friday of the month so you won't miss out on this fabulous display of community togetherness.
Las Vegas is a fun, fancy-free and ultimately entertaining city to visit. Whether you're most interested in hitting the casino, heading out on a shopping spree, taking in some of the delightful local arts culture or simply relaxing in a beautiful public park, Vegas truly has it all. In fact, you might even find that you don't spend alot of time in your
Las Vegas hotels, but even if you end up getting barely any sleep from all the adventure, you can be sure that it'll all be worthwhile.
