There are two official
visitor centers in Las Vegas. One, run by the Las Vegas Convention &
Visitors Authority, stands half a mile east of the Strip on the west
side of Paradise Road, at the entrance to the vast Convention Center at
3150 Paradise Rd (daily 8am-5pm; phone 892-7575 or 1-800/332-5333, ). The
other, the headquarters of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, is at 711
E Desert Inn Rd (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm; phone 735-1616, ).
Although both will mail information in response to requests, once you're
actually in Las Vegas there's very little point in visiting either, and
neither is easily accessible on foot. You can find much the same array
of glossy brochures and leaflets displayed in the lobby of your hotel.
All Las Vegas's major attractions are run for profit, and you'll be
bombarded with all the information you need without having to go out in
search of more.

Similarly, it should be easy to pick up a decent map of the city at the
desk of your hotel or car rental agency. The streetscape changes so
fast, especially along the Strip, that it's essential for that map to be
as recent as possible. Surprisingly enough, free handouts tend to be
more reliable than commercial publications that may have been on
the shelves for years. |
