Greater Las Vegas -- with a "What Happens Here, Stays Here" tagline -- has reached fever pitch as a global amusement capital.

World-class cuisine, lodging and entertainment with options to fit any budget or itinerary are a part of the glittering scene for a city celebrating a 2005 centennial. Robust development activity following a century of non-stop growth confirms that the future of neon-lit Las Vegas looks brighter than ever.

Classic Las Vegas showrooms provide close-ups of superstars with seating for several hundred to more than 4,000 guests. Las Vegas' larger arena-style venues host crowds well into the tens of thousands. Events centers and arenas sell out regularly featuring myriad celebrity acts from the Rolling Stones, Cher and Madonna to Britney Spears and Garth Brooks. For visual intrigue, Las Vegas has landed the fourth resident Cirque du Soleil show -- KA at MGM Grand -- the first to have a story line telling the epic tale of twins embarking on a journey to fulfill shared destiny. Vocal dazzler Celine Dion's "A New Day...," with 60 international dancers, musicians and artists, has made headlines for the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. When Dion is on break, Elton John takes over with "The Red Piano." Over the top never stops in Las Vegas where the 2,800-room Wynn Las Vegas -- at $2.5 billion, the world's priciest hotel -- debuts with an in-house Ferrari and Maserati dealership to go with stellar restaurants and entertainment.
