• Las Vegas changed from show town to the entertainment town. First place is "Four Corner" where old and established hotels gather. 1) exclusive Hotel Bellagio has the famous fountain where the light and shape change to the music, 2) Hotel Flamingo was built by Mafia with huge investment, 3) Hotel Caesars Palace welcomed many VIPs for more than 30 years, 4) Hotel Paris where the Eiffel Tower stands.

• We stayed the Flamingo. It took some time for both check-in and checkout in a line and was always crowded because there are as many as 3500 rooms.
  Generally speaking, hotel charges are relatively cheap and can be chosen broadly from 30 dollars of Circus-circus to 300 dollars of Bellagio.
  We used taxi but there is a monorail from the airport. And the double-decker also is running among the strip where many hotels locate.
