Las Vegas. The name conjures up images of clinking coins, dazzling lights, and questionable Elvis impersonators (bless their sequined hearts).

Brighter Than Your Future (After a Big Win)
Did you know that the Las Vegas Strip, with its extravagant casinos and light shows, is the brightest place on Earth from outer space? That's right, astronauts can see this monument to merriment from orbit. So next time you're feeling lost in the desert, just remember, you're a tiny speck contributing to a giant, glowing beacon of...well, gambling.
More Shrimp Than You Can Shake a Cocktail Stick At
Las Vegas is a place where excess reigns supreme, and that extends to its food consumption. Brace yourselves, seafood lovers: Vegas devours more shrimp in a single day than the entire United States does in a year. So, the next time you hit a jackpot, consider splurging on a truly epic shrimp cocktail. Just don't blame us if you end up needing a nap the size of the Grand Canyon.
Who Needs Real Cats When You Have Lions (Made of Metal)?
Las Vegas isn't shy about theatrics. The MGM Grand Hotel boasts the largest bronze lion sculpture in the entire United States. This majestic (and slightly terrifying) beast weighs in at a whopping 50 tons. So next time you're facing a tough decision, just channel your inner lion...and maybe avoid any questionable bets involving the giant metal kitty.

And yes, Elvis impersonators are a popular choice to officiate. Just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...unless you accidentally get married by the King himself.
