Known by a bevy of nicknames and renowned as a tourist destination, Las Vegas is a city that's easy to fall in love with, which makes it no surprise that weekend travelers to this city sometimes turn into long-term renters of Las Vegas apartments.

Las Vegas leaves no shortage of options for apartment residents looking for a fun time. Its casinos garner international acclaim, not only for their glitzy and glamorous gaming parlors, but also for hosting world-class music and entertainment. The fine dining options in Las Vegas are also second-to-none, with famous chefs from around the world offering their culinary wonders at the city's various establishments. There are countless musical shows, theatrical performances, magic acts and stand-up comedy routines for Las Vegas apartment residents to enjoy, but the city has also gained a somewhat reserved reputation for some of its quieter exploits.

For instance, those renting Las Vegas apartments can get a sampling of worldwide culture at the city's weekly "First Friday" events. The occasion is considered one of the city's premier arts events, and it offers locals the opportunity to tour the city's downtown Arts District. Works from local artists and musical performances are offered in full force at the district's many galleries, essentially turning downtown Las Vegas into an artistic block party serving local apartment residents. The event is a great way for new and old residents to get in touch with one of the city's less appreciated aspects - its burgeoning arts scene.
