The building bulgaria rent a car of the Hoover Dam and legalization of gambling helped start a population boom in 1931, and the city hasn't been the same since.

To get an idea of "old school" Las Vegas, consider taking a trip up the Strip a few miles to Fremont Street . As the first paved street in the town, Fremont Street was the starting point of the gambling industry in Sin City, and many older casinos bulgaria rent a car still line the pedestrian thoroughfare in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Many of the same games from the megaresorts on the strip are available at Fremont Street spots like the Golden Nugget, Binion's, and Four Queens, all at lower prices, of course.

For the fashionistas and foodies out there, Sin City can be paradise, with high-end shops and terrific gourmet restaurants scattered throughout the sprawling resorts on Las Vegas Blvd. While some chain stores will be familiar to the most casual of shoppers, many take luxury to a whole new level, with names like Cartier, Tiffany Co., Hermes, and Prada. Simply strolling past them can be quite the people-watching experience. My top picks are the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace , Le Boulevard at Paris Las Vegas , the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian , and the Wynn Esplanade .  by The Fashion bulgaria rent a car Show Mall directly across from Wynn Las Vegas is more of a typical mall.
Dining options also abound both inside and outside the shopping strips, with most large casinos offering 10 or more different restaurants to fit all kids of budgets. The buffet is (of course) a quintessential bulgaria rent a car Las Vegas experience; my recommendations are the Wynn or Bellagio for breakfast and the Cosmopolitan for dinner, but feel free to add your own opinions in the comments below!
