TOPS FOR ADVENTURE

Las Vegas is declared the No. 1 U.S. Adventure Town in National Geographic Adventure magazine's September issue. The magazine includes a list of the 50 best towns — one in each state — to live, play and seek adventure.

About Las Vegas, the magazine's Web site says, "The real action isn't happening on the Strip. Hikers, mountain bikers and rock climbers have discovered a backcountry playground just beyond Sin City's limits."
