Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
The "Entertainment Capital of the World" is no longer only for those who love to gamble. While giant, themed casinos still dominate the tourist areas of Las Vegas, the development of shopping centers, upscale restaurants, trendy spas and world-class golf resorts have broadened its overall appeal. Take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon or be wowed by one of Cirque du Soleil's five available Las Vegas shows. See exotic animals either at MGM Grand's Lion Habitat or the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. And of course, try your luck on one of the many roulette wheels!
Singapore, Singapore
This island in the southeast corner of Asia is home to a country comprised of one city. Although small, Singapore has a population of over 4 million and is home to the world's busiest port. Sample its multicultural cuisines in Chinatown, Little India or Kampong Glam. The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve offers a rare glimpse into Singapore's natural resources, and its beaches on Sentosa are great for sunbathing. Take a trishaw tour around the city or cruise the Singapore River on a bumboat for an excellent view of the skyline.
