Haven't been to Las Vegas yet? You're in a crowd that's getting smaller all the time.Last year,800,000 Asians made the pilgrimage to the neon Mecca in the Nevada desert.Led by the Japanese,Asian travelers make up Vegas's largest overseas market.JAL nowruns five non-stop flights weekly from Tokyo. While there's no direct service from otherAsian cities, remember that Vegas is less than an hour's flight from Los Angeles.

What makes Vegas such a draw for people from this part of the world ? Perhapsresidents of Asia's sprawling mega-cities appreciate its compactness: Vegas lets youcombine gambling,flashy culture and theme park in one heck of a holiday.And then thereare those otherworldly hotels,the buildings that look as if they've been transported toVegas in a time machine.The latest in this long, gaudy line is 760 million in Paris,whichincludes a 50-story reproduction of the Eiffel Tower, a two-thirds scale replica of the Arcde Trimophe and cobble-stoned streets lined with fancy boutiques.The only things missingfrom the full Paris experience are surely waiters and overflowing gutters.Another newresort,Mandalay Bay, is built in the shape of upright bars of gold bullion and attempt toconjure up a semi-imaginary locale that is part Bali.

Aside from the arresting architecture，what makes these hotels interesting is theiraffordability. "High season" here is every Thursday,Friday and Saturday, so the best timeto get a good price on a posh room is mid-week.At the deluxe Four Seasons, the onlyproperty in town without a casino，low-tide rates start at a modest 195 US dollars for astandard room, and Bellagio can house you for as little as 139 US dollars. At peak time,those prices can double.

What can you do in Vegas besides gamble? Plenty. In less than four hours you can bewhisked from your hotel to the Grand Canyon via helicopter and enjoy a champagne picnicdown on the canyon floor.Then there's world class shopping: Vegas retailer rival anythingoffered by their counterparts on ritzy Fifth Avenue or Rodeo Drive.
