Las Vegas is nothing if not audacious, an oasis of light, life and gambling in the middle of an otherwise empty desert.

All the big hotels on the strip have a theme, several based on city destinations.

Here we have New York, complete with Empire State, Statue of Liberty and Chrysler Building. Out of view is the Brooklyn Bridge. Inside the decor is also themed on New York.

We took a spin on the roller coaster you can see behind the Statue of Liberty. Quite something.
