Las Vegas

Hey guys, it's Rachel
Today, I'm back talking about a whole new city!! It is quite different to the places I have previously talked about- the city is Las Vegas. Las Vegas is located in a desert region in Nevada, and it is the entertainment capital of the world the city is known to most people for its gambling, night life and other entertainment. According to wikipedia it is the most iconic place in Nevada, and it leads the state in the financial and commercial industry.

Hotels are a big part of Las Vegas- for example, you may have heard of the hotel Caesar's Palace. This city has also recreated some famous landmarks and places from around the world, such as;

• the Eiffel Tower
• the Venetian hotel- with gondala rides (just like in Venice!)
• the Colusseum in Caesar's Palace hotel- a Roman style
• the Luxor hotel- this hotel has an Egyptian theme, as it is in the shape of a pyramid and there is a large sphinx statue beside the hotel

Las Vegas tends to be very hot in the summer, seeing as it is in a desert region. On average, July is the hottest month of the year- temperatures can reach up to 41 degrees Celsius! The coldest month of the year is December, when temperatures drop to 8 degrees celsius on average- but it there have been previous recordings of temperatures at 1 degree Celsius.
