Megaresorts integrate the services offered by a hotel, casino, dining, entertainment, and shopping into a single, highly stylized or themed venue. The hotels along the Las Vegas Strip are typically thought of as megaresorts owing to their immense size and complexity. The first megaresort is generally considered to be The Mirage given its size and emphasis on non-gaming entertainment options like shopping and fine dining to draw in customers. Megaresorts use the same fantastic or mythical theme (medeval life at Excalibur, tropical at Wynn or Mirage, famous cities, etc) throughout their properties.
