When your local weather is cool and overcast and you’ve had just about enough of it, why not consider booking a trip to Las Vegas? The average annual temperature in Las Vegas is a comfortable 80 degrees, there is over 3800 hours of sunshine per year, and there is a hotel with a pool and a cabana just waiting for you.

Las Vegas is a year-round, adult’s Disneyland and not just for the world-famous casinos. Want to play a few rounds of golf? Try your luck at Shadow Creek in North Las Vegas – annually ranked as one of the best golf courses in the world. Fans of mixed martial arts and boxing will want to plan their tour during the “Worlds Collide” tournaments in February. Fans of motor sports will want to be in Vegas March 2012 for the next NASCAR race.

Is shopping your truest form of entertainment? Enjoy the luxury of the Tiffany & Company and Chanel at Via Bellagio, or in one of the 170 stores at the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood. Fine dining during your stay in Las Vegas can be summed up as, “So many choices – so little time.” Enjoy French cuisine at Andres at the Monte Carlo or Alize at the Palms Casino Resort, sample Italian fare from Executive Chef Carlos Buscaglia at the Fiamma Tratoria and Bar, or even delicious Irish Stew at the Nine Fine Irishmen.

While Las Vegas is best known for casinos and shows, sports, and celebrity entertainment, this top US tourist destination also has some of the most spectacular hotel pools in the world. Poolside sand beaches, pools for adults, pools for children, you can even play Blackjack while in the pool. Marvel at the 3-acre pool at the Paris Hotel or enjoy the spectacular 40-foot bamboo trees and convenient cooling misters at TAO Beach located at the Venetian.
