USA // That thing that happens when you take the ideals of freedom and abundance to their extremes? Right here, in this 6.7km (4.2-mile) section of Las Vegas Blvd - aka the Strip - where one whopping casino resort after the other rises up, each trying to outdo the next with dazzling sights. As you glide down the street see fountains that dance to Italian opera, an erupting volcano, the Eiffel Tower, an Egyptian pyramid, even the Statue of Liberty, and rub your eyes in disbelief. Things get more outrageous behind the walls: white tigers prowl, sharks swim, Elvis marries couples non-stop, and Lady Gaga puts on a show. Meanwhile, vast fortune awaits, if only you win big at poker, blackjack or the slot machines.
