In October June and I took our much anticipated trip to the American West in order to visit Las Vegas, ten National Parks and some of the western sites made famous in the nineteenth century. We began and ended the trip in Las Vegas.
One of several storms to pass over Las Vegas during our stay.
New York-New York, one of many themed hotels. Built to a one-third scale of the real thing includung the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.
The Paris Las Vegas Hotel complete with one-half size Eiffel Tower.
The MGM Grand Hotel even has its own lions.
The Bellagio has its dazzlingly choreographed musical fountains.....
...and lavish conservatory.
Caesar's Palace has its Forum Shops with associated Roman attractions,
including a reinactment of the last days of Atlantis.
It is only at night that the city really comes alive and it's difficult not to become swept up in it all.
The Bellagio fountains are simply magical.
The Stratosphere Hotel Tower sits mid-way between the Strip to the south and Downtown to the north.
Freemont Street in Downtown is covered with a dome that exhibits a light display to music every half hour.
We rounded off our stay in Las Vegas with a visit to a show at the Excalibur Hotel.
