Las Vegas Boulevard is a major road in the Las Vegas Valley area of Nevada, with a length of 82.7 kilometers. The southern section of the road is known for its dense concentration of casinos and hotels, and is known as "the Strip." Once a part of U.S. Route 91 in Nevada, the highway was an important route linking Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.

The Great Salt Lake is a salty lake consisting of 10 small islands, covering an area of approximately 20,000 square miles. It is the second saltiest lake in the world. The Great Salt Lake is also an important wildlife sanctuary, attracting millions of migratory birds to feed and nest every year. Additionally, the Bonneville Salt Flats, located in the Great Salt Lake region, are ideal for racing cars, airplanes, and even spacecraft landings due to their flat terrain. This was also the location used in the movie "Need for Speed" as the gathering place for racing teams after their cars were lifted from a cliff. In the past, the Bonneville Salt Flats have dried up, becoming a famous tourist destination.

Lake Powell was named after John Powell, a pioneering American who was the first to raft down the river and make recommendations for water development. It is a natural body of water with an area that is twice the size of Lake Mead. The area surrounding the lake features a variety of natural landscapes, including red sandstone, arches, canyons, and sparkling lakes, making it a beautiful and spectacular holiday destination in the southwestern United States. The construction of Lake Powell began in 1956 while the Glen Canyon Dam was under construction. It wasn't until 1980 that the water from the Colorado and San Juan Rivers and the Escalante River was diverted to the lake, making it complete in its true sense. The final scene of the movie Gravity was filmed at Lake Powell, but most of the scenery near the lake was actually computer-generated and differs greatly from the surrounding desert landscape.
