LONDON, July 23, 2010 - There's nowhere else quite like Las Vegas with its over indulgent casinos
and Virgin Holidays hotels. It's no surprise Las Vegas attracts so many
worldwide visitors every year. Labeled as Disneyland for adults, Las Vegas
has spectacular entertainment and nightlife and is a popular Virgin Holidays
destination.

Las Vegas isn't just for adults and is surprisingly a family destination
with a multitude of activities for all ages. Cirque du Soleil is undoubtedly
one of the world's most famous shows featuring incredible acrobatics and
visuals to leave you spellbound. The Virgin Holidays brochure not only
features Las Vegas hotels (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/usa/holidays/las_vegas/las_vegas/ho
tels.aspx) but also exciting excursions such as the overnight ranch adventure
where the whole family can experience the cowboy lifestyle, or experience Las
Vegas
and the Grand Canyon from the skies with a helicopter ride that Virgin
Reps can book prior to travel.

Las Vegas hotels are in their own league and can cater for your every
need. From Caesars Palace, which recently featured in the film 'The
Hangover,' to Paris, complete with its own Eiffel Tower. Virgin Holidays'
expert resort reps are, as always, at hand before guests travel with
information and to book tickets from. At Virgin Holidays guests experience a
Rockstar service:

    - When departing from London Gatwick and staying at a Platinum collection
      hotel, receive a COMPLIMENTARY entry to the new Virgin Holidays V-room.

    - On arrival at the airport Virgin Holidays airport team provide a
      meet-and-greet assistance.

Getting that care free Californian attitude comes as standard with Virgin
Holidays in San Francisco (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/usa/holidays/san_francisco/). This
iconic city is unlike any other American city. San Francisco is small enough
to explore on foot and has a diverse range of neighbourhoods all with a great
atmosphere.

San Francisco offers an array of world famous attractions from the Golden
Gate Bridge and Russian Hill to the notorious island prison of Alcatraz.
Virgin Holidays San Francisco hotels (

aspx) are situated in brilliant locations such as Fisherman's Wharf and Union
Square. The Virgin Holidays brochure gives customers information about each
hotel and also other popular regions around San Francisco. Lake Tahoe and
Yosemite National Park are must visits for adventurous travellers who enjoy
outdoor pursuits such as hiking, horse riding and river rafting. A day trip
to Yosemite from San Francisco costs GBP77 for an adult and GBP46 for a
child.

For the traveller seeking relaxation, the boutique Hotel Vitale on the
San Francisco waterfront is perfect with a stunning penthouse level spa and a
cocktail lounge with vistas of the water and Bay Bridge. The wine regions of
Napa and Sonoma Valley feature world class vineyards and restaurants. The
Napa Valley Wine Train lasts for 3 hours and includes a wine tasting seminar
and lunch from an award winning chef on board the lavishly restored 1915
Pullman dining cars.

With so much to do in San Francisco, it's worthwhile preparing with the
Virgin Holidays brochure and website. Virgin Hotels vary in size and
facilities so that our customers can have their desired experience. Virgin

of their holiday by:

      and purchase tour and attraction tickets.

that shaped US independence. The Boston Duck Tours are another fantastic way
to explore Boston. The WWII amphibious landing vehicles are staffed with

of whales during the summer months and a whale watching trip is the best way
to see these magnificent creatures. For those that love to shop Boston
provides a unique experience. Newbury Street is home to designer and boutique
stores and the city has two large malls. The 18th Century Faneuil Hall and
Quincy Market are a must see with a range of eclectic shops, food stalls and

attraction and Virgin Holidays hotels are ideally placed for trips to the
