Las Vegas - the most famous exhibition and convention city in the world. There truly is no place quite like it. With its 2.5 mile long boulevard packed out with 20 of the world’s largest casino-resorts, it really has to be seen to be believed.

Getting there

Las Vegas is served well by its international airport, either that or you can drive in.

It is worth noting it’s illegal to hail cabs in the street, you have to get one from a designated taxi rank.

Restrictions on what you can bring into the country?

Follow the FAA’s Pack Safe guidelines and you won’t go far wrong.

Bonus round

1. Local currency - US dollar.


2. Language - English.


3. Visa requirements. You will require a visa to enter the USA. What kind that is depends on where you have come from and what you are planning on doing there. The first step you have to take in order to start your US visa application, is to figure out under what kind of visa you are permitted to enter the United States. After you have selected the visa type you need to apply for, you should check the requirements and start gathering the documents that are required for that visa.


4. Plug sockets in the USA are the standard two pin plugs.


5. Cultural sensitivities. The USA is a real patchwork of cultures, identities and customs, however there aren’t any real cultural sensitivities to be aware of, but points worth noting:

• Most Americans move to a first name basis pretty quickly.


• Americans have no etiquette when it comes to giving and receiving business cards.


• Arrive on time for meetings as time and punctuality are very important to Americans.


• Use statistics to back up your claims - most Americans are impressed by hard data and evidence.
