And how I wish that there were more
Than twenty-four hours in the day.
But even if there were forty more,
I wouldn\u2019t sleep a minute away.
Oh, there\u2019s blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel.
A fortune won and lost on every deal.
All you need\u2019s a strong heart and a nerve of steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cViva Las Vegas<\/a>\u201d was the title song of the film of the same name, sung by Elvis Presley. Although Elvis first performed in Vegas in 1956, it was his twice a day, seven days a week, 636 sold out shows, from August 1969 on, at the International<\/a> where his association with the city was firmly cemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image of countless casinos is one that many people still hold of Las Vegas, but as a holiday destination it is so much more than that. It can better be described as an entertainment destination. If you are looking to be entertained then you will find it here and you don\u2019t have to place a bet to enjoy what it has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing to beat a walk down the Las Vegas Strip in the evening. It is the must do part of your visit. You will be transported to Venice, Paris and New York. Don\u2019t miss out on the beautiful Bellagio Fountains as they dance to the music every 15 minutes in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
