Waking up in Vegas

Waking up in Vegas

A group of top selling agents were last week treated to four nights in Las Vegas, as part of the Las Vegas and Pinpoint Travel Group MegaFam.

Learning firsthand why Las Vegas has gained the title of ‘the entertainment capital of the world’ and attracts over 41.1 million visitors each year, the group saw a number of thrilling shows, including by Cirque Du Soleil at the MGM Grand.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Authority (LVCVA) hosted the group and ensured they received the full VIP Vegas treatment with a twilight helicopter flight over the iconic Strip, as well as a trip out to Hoover Dam to learn about its vital role in Las Vegas’ history and future.

An afternoon was also spent channelling the group’s inner mobster at the Mob Museum and of course, there was plenty of shopping and dining at a number of top restaurants.

The group stayed at the Venetian Palazzo Hotel Las Vegas, home to Aussie performers Human Nature who are now in their seventh year as resident performers and also Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
