00:00Last April, John took a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:03Las Vegas is a popular destination in the western portion of the United States.
00:08The town is most popular for its casinos, hotels, and exciting nightlife.
00:13In downtown Las Vegas, John spent a lot of time on the Strip, which is a 2.5-mile stretch
00:18of shopping, entertainment venues, luxury hotels, and fine dining experiences.
00:23This is probably the most commonly visited tourist area in the city.
00:27The Strip at night looks especially beautiful.
00:29All of the buildings light up with bright, neon, eye-catching signs to attract visitor
00:34attention.
00:35A stay in Las Vegas can feel similar to a visit to many popular cities worldwide.
00:40Many of the hotels have miniature versions of important international sites and monuments.
00:45These famous landmarks include the Eiffel Tower, Venice, and even ancient Rome.
00:50One day, John took a side trip outside of the city to visit the Grand Canyon, one of
00:54the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.
00:56The canyon offers a breathtaking view of Nevada's ridges and natural landscape.
01:01John especially liked the canyon because it was removed from all of the noise and movement
01:05in downtown Las Vegas.
01:07John had a great time during his trip to Las Vegas.
01:10He did not win a lot of money in the casinos.
01:13However, he managed to see a lot of amazing sights during his visit to this city that
01:17never sleeps.
