Your Personal Assistant Welcome to Las Vegas Las Vegas is known for its glitz, glamour and endless array of entertainment options. The exuberant city sparkles like an oasis as it is located in the middle of the Mojave Desert at the southern tip of Nevada. Las Vegas is the fastest growing city in North America with 2 acres of land being developed every 24 hours. If you are looking for variety and excitement, Las Vegas will certainly not disappoint. Las Vegas is the second most visited attraction in the United States, boasting over 35 million tourists each year. There are over 150,000 hotel rooms to choose from when visiting the city, which is no surprise considering that 17 out of the 20 largest hotels in the U.S. are located in Las Vegas.

The most difficult decision to make in this endless playground of lights, casinos, live entertainment, pools, thrills, hotel lounges, bars, shopping and gourmet restaurants is what to do first! 1.800.364.4748 • eniweb.com 1 Table of Contents Welcome to Las Vegas Visitor Information Getting Around Exploring Las Vegas Extravagant Casinos Business Travel Tips Spectacular Shows Thrills & Attractions Las Vegas Convention Center Dining Night Life Shopping City Map 1 4 6 10 15 18 20 24 26 28 38 43 46 is a national leader of integrated benefit solutions.

If you are planning on traveling by foot, the early morning will be much more pleasant than the sizzling afternoons. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are recommended for protecting your skin and eyes from the sun’s rays. Since the air is so dry, be sure to bring skin lotion and drink plenty of water when spending time outdoors. Finally, remember to bring a sweater or light jacket with you if you are planning on checking out any indoor attractions. Even though it is hot outside, the majority of casinos and shows tend to keep their temperatures extremely cool to provide relief from the heat. 4 1.800.364.4748 • eniweb.com Las Vegas is famous for scorching hot summers and mild winters. With over 300 days of sunshine each year, the weather in Las Vegas is sure to be bright and clear anytime you visit. In June the average temperature is a hot 85 degrees with temperatures rising as high as 100 degrees and dropping to a comfortable 69 degrees in the evening. Traveling Tips Although Las Vegas is one of the most laissez-faire cities in the United States, there are a few laws you should keep in mind while visiting. In Vegas many bars stay open 24 hours per day and there is no closing time for liquor sales. However, driving while intoxicated and having an open container of alcohol in your car are both illegal. Also, contrary to popular belief, solicitation is NOT legal in Las Vegas. Finally, as a safety precaution, keep an eye on your purse, change bucket, or chips when gaming. Las Vegas is one of the safest places to visit, but it’s still smart to be cautious when money is involved. 1.800.364.4748 • eniweb.com 5 Getting Around Public Transportation City Bus The Citizens Area Transit (CAT) is the Las Vegas public transit system.

The key to having a great business trip is to stay healthy. Getting sick while traveling is fairly common as people tend to over-exert themselves, wearing down their immune systems, and then coming into contact with a great deal of germs from re-circulated air on planes to gas pumps and public restrooms. Here are some tips that will help keep you healthy on your trip. General Tips n According to the CDC, washing your hands is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs. Therefore, it is extremely important to wash your hands frequently when traveling as you are constantly touching public commodities. Also, when traveling for business you will undoubtedly be shaking many hands and there’s a good chance some of those people will be sick. Be sure to scrub your hands for at least 30 seconds covering them completely. It is also a good idea to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for those times when you simply cannot get to a restroom. n Continue to eat a healthy balanced diet while traveling. This can be difficult as food options are often limited to fast food and vending machines when eating on the go. Seek out restaurants that offer healthy food and pack some healthy snacks like veggie sticks to munch on while on the road. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water as dehydration is a common reason people feel ill when traveling. Eating healthy helps keep the immune system strong and your energy high. n Luckily, many business trips are so packed with activity that exercise is built right in. However, if this is not the case, it is important to incorporate exercise into your trip. Sightseeing on foot is one of the easiest and most fun ways to stay fit while traveling. If there is no time for that, you can always take a quick jog in the morning if weather permits or do some jumping jacks and pushups in your hotel room to get your blood flowing and give yourself an energy boost. n Finally, don’t overdo it! Get plenty of rest to ensure that your immune system is strong and that you have plenty of energy to accomplish all of your goals. 18 1.800.364.4748 • eniweb.com Trade Show Tips Large trade shows consist of a flurry of activity condensed into a short time span, which is exciting and can be overwhelming. There are so many vendors to visit and seminars to attend that we can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. To get the most from your trade show experience, it’s important to have a clear strategy of what you want to accomplish in mind. Before the Show: List Your Goals – Writing out your personal and company goals is the first step in developing a trade show plan. Review Promotional Material – Check out the vendors who will be displaying at the show and make a list of those you want to see. Next, look at a map of the trade show floor and decide upon a route that will allow you to see your vendors of choice in the most efficient manner. Finally, look at the seminars that are offered and schedule time to catch those that are related to your interests. Pack Appropriately – Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and a lightweight outfit since trade show floors tend to be hot and you will undoubtedly be on your feet for hours on end. Also, pack plenty of business cards so you never miss a chance to network. During the Show: Review and Reevaluate – Upon arriving at the show, consult the latest directory to ensure that none of the vendors you wanted to see cancelled and determine if any new vendors signed on that would be advantageous to visit. Revise your plan and route if necessary. Stand your Ground – You only have limited time at the show, so don’t be afraid to pass by booths that don’t interest you and cut conversations short if they are not beneficial. Be Flexible – While it is important to stick to your plan, don’t let a great opportunity pass you by. If a vendor that you are walking by piques your interest, stop and find out if they have the potential to be a valuable partner for your business. After the Show Organize and Review – Be sure to organize and prioritize all of the information you’ve gathered. Also, jot down your thoughts in relation to the vendors you visited while they are still fresh in your mind. Follow up – Reaching out and forming relationships with vendors and new contacts is extremely important as this is the whole reason for attending the show. 1.800.364.4748 • eniweb.com 19 Spectacular Shows Jabbawockeez 3355 S.
