Jonathan: Las Vegas and Philadelphia - Business Trip (2Pax)

About the destination: Las Vegas is the biggest city in the U.S. state of Nevada. Often referred to as the Entertainment Capital of the World or Sin City, it is located in the Mojave Desert and is encircled by arid mountains. Las Vegas is globally renowned for its combined casino-hotels and related entertainment. The city is home to numerous mega-hotel complexes, each meticulously decorated to create a fantastical atmosphere. Every hotel has a unique style, with special sights everywhere, and each hotel has its own casino. The majority of the hotel casinos are located in the city's downtown area, along The Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is a world unto itself. Where else can you visit Egypt, New York, Venice, Disneyland, Hollywood, and more all on one street? The truth is that all the action Las Vegas is known for happens on this single street. The Bellagio could be considered the unofficial center of the Strip, partly due to the free musical fountain shows that occur every half hour with varying choreography and music. The Bellagio is one of the more elegant venues with a beautiful flower garden and, for food lovers, it arguably offers one of the best buffets in town. The Venetian is another spot where one might spend more time due to its impressive attempt to recreate Venice in the desert. The main square of Venice is filled with gondolas navigating the water channels and opera singers entertaining their captive audience on board. The opposite end of the Strip, closest to the airport, begins with a humorous depiction of Egypt with its Luxor casino, despite the fact that there are no pyramids in Luxor. But in Las Vegas, anything is possible.

About the destination: Philadelphia is the biggest city in Pennsylvania, the second biggest on the East Coast, and the fifth most populated city in the U.S. It's situated in the Northeastern U.S., along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it's the only city-county in Pennsylvania. At Franklin Court, you'll find the Christ Church Burial Ground, a famous landmark where Ben Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried. Congress Hall, the first home of Congress, is also here. George Washington and John Adams were inaugurated in this building, and the Bill of Rights was ratified inside. The Liberty Bell, Philadelphia's most famous attraction, was rung to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Despite its 2,000-pound weight, the Bell doesn't look that heavy. Philadelphia is a fantastic city to visit. It's friendly, full of history, and offers a great blend of old and new, historic and modern. There are plenty of sites, restaurants, clubs, and museums to keep you entertained, as well as numerous parks in the city center and the rivers, which add to the city's peaceful yet lively atmosphere.
