The Strip

March 7, 2006 (Press Release) -- The Mirage is interesting for the action going on outside: a fake volcano, surrounded by an artificial lagoon, erupts every half hour, belching smoke and fire, and 54 artificial waterfalls cascade down the exterior. Not that there isn't glitz galore inside. You enter through a miniature tropical rainforest, complete with Siegfried and Roy's white tigers. And for a small fee you can watch dolphins frolic in a giant tank. Should you actually check in, you'll do so at a counter backed by a 60ft (20m) long aquarium filled with over 1000 fish. The Mirage is the b�te noir of water conservationists; it uses over a million gallons of water a day. No wonder Nevada is running dry.
One of the original casino-cum-theme-parks, Circus Circus is tackiness incarnate. You can take in free circus acts in the tent-like interior, a 'midway' with carnival attractions, and a roomful of video games. Grand Slam Canyon is a mini amusement park in a giant dome behind Circus Circus. It boasts a rollercoaster, flume rides, fake dinosaurs and a water slide. Circus Circus is located on the northern half of the Strip and attracts a lot of families (ie rambunctious kids), so either head for or avoid it accordingly.
Car buffs won't want to miss the Imperial Palace Auto Museum, which includes rare models and dozens of vehicles once owned by the rich and infamous. There's Czar Nicholas II's 1914 Rolls Royce, Japanese Emperor Hirohito's 1935 Packard and Adolf Hitler's 1939 Mercedes. You can also see the cars of several US presidents and Howard Hughes' 1954 Chrysler (the air purifier cost more than the car). About 200 vehicles are on display. The museum is located in the Imperial Palace Casino, on the Strip about 3 miles (5km) south of downtown
