And while this still stands true, Californians continue to go to Las Vegas like crazy, mainly because there&#8217;s more to do than casinos&#8211;and it&#8217;s all in one place.\u00a0 You can travel the globe in a variety of casinos, hotels and architectural treatments that include a model of the Statue of Liberty in front of &#8220;New York City&#8221;, a great pyramid, Caesar&#8217;s Palace and an Eiffel Tower replica that features dinner views overlooking &#8220;The Strip&#8221; and evening water shows at Bellagio across the street.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reservations.stockteam.com\/856_hotel-info_h4640.html\">Bellagio<\/a> is a personal favorite for hotel accommodations, though there are many great places to stay in all price ranges. Sometimes Californians need a change of pace, a change of scenery and pure entertainment. Las Vegas delivers on all counts, and you can fly there from nearly any airport in California if you don&#8217;t want to drive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visitors to Las Vegas:<\/strong> Las Vegas, known for its international appeal, has seen an uptick in visitors to Sin City recently. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Authority&#8217;s most recent data, traffic is up and hotel prices are down slightly.
