Las Vegas, better known as Sin City, is often referred to as an adult-oriented playground, however, that image is cast aside when it comes to honoring Veterans.

Nevada joins others states in making sure that Veterans Day is special.

MGM Resorts International with American Airlines and the USO honored 80 disabled veterans along with the families at the Mirage Las Vegas with a  four day fun-filled all expenses paid trip.
