The Strip

I think going to Vegas the first time is a unique experience. This being our second time here made it a different experience.


In some ways it was better: construction zones had made way to brand new hotels (the cosmopolitan looks great), less card flickers, milder weather - not as hot. It was also good to see some favourites from last time: the Bellagio and the fountains, Caesars, Walmart, Ross. OK those those last two aren't unique to Vegas and probably not that special to Americans but hey...we don't have those in Australia.

We stayed at the Luxor this time at the southern end of the strip. Not bad. The atrium inside the pyramid is completely hollow besides the rooms around the extremity of the pyramid. The giant beam of light emanating from the tip of the pyramid made locating our hotel as simple as scanning the skyline.



An old favourite: The Bellagio fountains.


The Bellagio is stunning inside and out.
