Campervan Rental in Las Vegas

Campervan Rental Las Vegas

Las Vegas is situated in a basin on the floor of the Mojave Desert. Framed by mountain ranges on all sides, most of the landscape is arid and rocky, with desert wildlife and vegetation. The city itself is host to trees, lawns, and other greenery, however there has been a movement to encourage xeriscapes due to water resource issues.

Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada and the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. As an internationally renowned resort city, it’s primarily known for its gambling, entertainment, fine dining, shopping, and nightlife.

Originally settled in 1905, it was officially incorporated in 1911. Its population boomed in the 1960s and then exploded between 1990 and 2000 when the population nearly doubled. Today over 2,200,000 people call the metropolitan area home.

The city is wildly popular with tourists who tout it as the entertainment capital of the world. Famous for its mega casino-hotels, it’s one of the top three destinations in the U.S. for business conventions and a global heavyweight in the hospitality industry. Today, Las Vegas frequently finds itself on “most visited tourist destinations” lists.
