A few years ago, when we considered a travel through the western US, we were very clear that apart from the visit to the National Parks, we wanted to go through three of the most important and famous cities of the Western usa, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
We have to recognize that for us, so far, the city of Las Vegas It was a kind of amusement park for adults that we were looking forward to, so we did not doubt it when we planned our 26-day trip to the western US.
The best way to get to Las Vegas It is by car and at night.
We did it that way and we have to say that by the time we saw the city in the distance, we already wanted to get out of the car to go through it ...
