Vegas!

For Our World Tuesday, a few cellphone shots of the Las Vegas Strip as we wandered around (we stayed one night to break up the drive to Los Angeles). It's Paris in the desert!

Here's the famous Bellagio.

The Mirage is always nice to see.

And finally, a random fountain near the Wynn.

Vegas Oddity

For the last of my Las Vegas photos, here's one of the strangest things I saw (and that's saying something) - a display in the Crystals shopping center with lots of LED numbers and mirrors. Here's a view from above.

Here's the inside of the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. You can sense a theme...

Our World Tuesday

Bellagio Fountains

My favorite of the free casino shows in Vegas is the Bellagio fountains.

They pulse in time to music.

They go very high at times.

I recommend making time to see them while in Vegas.

Scenic Weekends

Caesar's Palace (Las Vegas)

From a trip a few months ago, here are some shots of the famous Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

It's definitely luxurious with lots of water features.

I love the curved escalators - you don't see these every day.

Of course there's lots of shopping for those so inclined.

Our World Tuesday

Aria, Las Vegas

These photos are from a few months ago when we took a short trip to Vegas. Here's the Aria hotel where we stayed. First, looking out the main entrance.

One of the advertising signs.

Lots of glass...

...and I'm bet that the signs are LED rather than neon.

Happy New Year

A belated Happy New Year to all my readers. We spent a couple of days in Las Vegas so I didn't blog, but here are a couple of festive photos, first from the Aria where we stayed.

 And this was a holiday display in the Venetian.

Our World Tuesday

Las Vegas (Night and Fountains)

On our way out to California in the spring, we stopped in Las Vegas for one night. Of course, I took the opportunity to get at least a few photos, and these are the ones worth sharing.

Three of the four involve fountains so I'm sharing it with Tina's PicStory theme of "wet." And of course it's my weekly Our World Tuesday entry too.

Wynn, Las Vegas

For this week's view of Our World Tuesday, and for the theme of "Last Year" on Tina's PicStory, here are the last of my photos from last year's trip to Las Vegas. This time, it's the very upmarket Wynn Hotel and Casino, with lots of waterfalls.

I'm surprised they even let me in there, as I'm definitely not an upmarket guy!

Venetian Hotel

For this week's Our World Tuesday entry, here are a few photos in and around the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. Notice the construction in the first photo, as there was a lot of building going on when we were there.

And finally a photo from the tram that connects the Mirage to Treasure Island - the photo doesn't really belong in this post but I don't want it to be forgotten.

Las Vegas Statue

For Our World Tuesday this week, here are two photos of a statue on the Strip in Las Vegas. The first is taken during the daytime, the second using the illumination at night (no flash).

I don't have any more details on the statue, but I do have a handful of photos still to post from our April visit to Vegas.
