JUST IN TIME: LAS VEGAS ROLLS OUT FIRST GROUND-UP RESORT ON THE STRIP IN OVER TEN YEARS

by | Jul 3, 2021 | Travel

Canadians, apparently, can’t wait to get travelling again. And Las Vegas is at the top of their destination wish list. That’s of course no surprise.  It’s not that long a flight for most Canadians. It’s warm. For the luxury traveler, there’s no better place to go blow off steam – casinos, food experiences, shows, golf. There are higher octane things to do like Grand Canyon helicopter tours and hot air balloon rides. What about driving enormous bulldozers? Or driving a fast car on a racetrack?
