Cape Town

Cape Town in South Africa is one of the world's most beautiful cities.
There are many facets of Cape Town and a holiday could centre on any number of activities from sight-seeing to relaxing, shopping to wine-tasting, hiking to golfing ... the list goes on. It is safe to say that whatever your interest, you are sure to find something just right for you in Cape Town. Although Cape Town is not a particularly big city, areas of interest and tourist attractions are spread out and in most cases public transport is not an option. To make the most of your time in Cape Town you can either hire a car and explore at your own leisure or join various day-tours for some outings and make your own way for others.

Attractions:
• Adderley Street Flower Sellers: Freshly cut flowers – including fynbos species such as king and pincushion proteas, depending on the season – are available from the friendly flower sellers in Adderley Street, where this trade has operated for the past 100 years.

• African Experience: Eat, drink, dance and drum African style in Cape Town.
• African Wildlife: Although Cape Town and the Western Cape are probably not the best places to experience a safari (Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces are better known for that), it is possible to have an encounter with South Africa’s big game not far from the Mother City.
• Air Force Museum: Members of the public can visit the South African Air Force Museum branch at Ysterplaat, and enjoy flying displays at the exciting bi-annual aerospace show.

• Amy Biehl Memorial: Amy Biehl was a young American Fulbright Scholarship exchange student who studied at the University of the Western Cape in 1993.
• More than 100 art galleries – as diverse as the colours daubed on an artist’s palette – await discovery in and around Cape Town.
• Athlone and Galaxy Disco: Enjoy authentic Cape Malay dining, listen to some swinging jazz, party till you drop and then eat again in Athlone.
• Cape Town is well supplied with good bakeries and delicatessens.
• Battle of Blaauwberg: Relive a piece of South African history, push yourself to the extreme and dine on gourmet food at the scene of the Battle of Blauuwberg (now known as “Bloubergstrand” or simply “Blouberg”).
• Bellville: Bellville is set among the Tygerberg hills about 25km (15mi) from central Cape Town and has spectacular views of the winelands and Stellenbosch mountains.

• Bikini Beach, Gordon’s Bay: Situated at the base of the Hottentots Holland mountains on the False Bay coast, the pretty village of Gordon’s Bay is a relaxing holiday spot.
• Birding, or avitourism, is one of the fastest-growing sectors in ecotourism internationally. The avitourism division of BirdLife South Africa (BLSA) has established several birding routes throughout the country.
• Camps Bay: Under the looming Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head as a backdrop and views out across the turquoise-coloured sea, Camps Bay sports some of the trendiest places to see and be seen at.
• Canal Walk Shopping Centre: Canal Walk Shopping Centre merges the world’s most desirable brands with shopping convenience, and inspired entertainment with everyday leisure—all in a commanding majestic setting.
• Cape Hunt and Polo Club: Drag Hunting is an exciting cross-country equestrian sport, where drag hound packs use foxhounds that are trained to follow an artificially laid scent trail. And many more.

When to visit Cape Town can be determined by her distinct seasons. Cape Town is great all year round with each season offering the best conditions for different attractions.
If you want a real Cape Town beach holiday and don't mind competing with the masses, December to early January is when to go. It is school holidays and the festive season so South African families descend on Cape Town where they are joined by visitors from around the world.

The best time to visit Cape Town is probably late January to March. The wind dies down and so does the hysteria - less mayhem, more space, with Cape Town still offering blue skies and sunshine.

The weather cools down somewhat in autumn and winter, May to August. Dress a bit warmer and take advantage of the balmy winter days, although be prepared for some rain. This is the best time to hike the mountains, visit the Cape Winelands, tour the markets and take in some Cape Town jazz.

Springtime in the Cape is a wonderland all of its own. Flowers dot the landscape and whales frolic in the oceans. Within 90 minutes drive from the city you can be whale watching or flower spotting - one of the best times to visit the Cape.

Las Vegas

Traveling to Las Vegas is such a great experience for everyone. A tour to Las Vegas can be fun, romantic, or adventurous as the tourist wants it to be. However, if someone wishes to have a peaceful tour then Las Vegas may not be the right choice.

It is the city of liveliness and adventures with a big crowd of locals as well as the visitors. But the city offers you with so many options that you will never feel restlessness due to such big crowd around you.

If you are game’s fan, you have so many options as the city is well known for its high class casinos. But the casinos are more active during the weekends as compared to the week days. The best time for casino lovers to visit Las Vegas is during the first weekend of the month of March. The vivacious night life will surely attract you toward itself.

For a sports fan who is interested in football or basketball, Las Vegas offers a number of events for them. There is a slight increase in rates during this period but still the prices are not much higher as they are in the peak tourist season. The cheapest season to visit Las Vegas is during the small off season after the Christmas and New Year eve when the holidays are over and during the month of July and August when the temperature increases.

The lodge and hotel rates at these times decrease to its least to offer you with best deals of staying at Las Vegas. But it is also a true fact that the poor climate conditions coincide with the best time for traveling in Las Vegas.

In summers the temperature of Las Vegas up to scorching triple digits, so staying in the urban lounges or big glassy buildings is not at all a good idea. Majority of the tourists visit Las Vegas during the earlier months, when the temperature is low. Just because the city is surrounded by the rocks and dust does not imply that it can not get cold in the city.

Fairly, the weather is not a big deal and will hardly shift your journey when you are planning your tour to Las Vegas. But if you want to hang out at pools then spring is the best season to visit Las Vegas. Las Vegas held various cultural shows and art exhibitions throughout the year. So, you need not to be concerned much about this prospect while visiting Las Vegas. However, the seasonal events are held during the particular season.
