Shopping at Las Vegas Outlet

Shopping.... shopping......, shopping!!!! I guess, almost women love this word.. I spent thousands of dollars during my shopping escapades in Las Vegas. Here in Las Vegas Outlet Center, you can find everything you need from branded shoes, t'shirts, pants, slippers, etc...hmm..everything is here..I was here twice and this is where I bought the most expensive Coach bag I ever had. It cost around 389.00 US dollars but I have it on sale for $215.00.. So I guess, it's not too bad..I am not really into expensive stuff but if I can have it in a lesser price, I might force to buy it. Besides I just want to pamper myself sometimes. I also bougth for my husband some adidas t'shirts and he was happy about it.

If you go to Las Vegas, don't miss the shopping escapades at las VEgas Outlet!! have fun!!

The Las Vegas Strip (also known as The Strip) is an approximately 4 mile (6.4 km) section of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Paradise and Winchester, Nevada, south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of "The Strip" has been designated an All-American Road.

Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on The Strip. Eighteen of the world's twenty five largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 67,000 rooms.

Over the years, Las Vegas Boulevard South has been called Arrowhead Highway, or Los Angeles Highway. The Strip was reportedly named by Los Angeles police officer Guy McAfee, after his hometown's Sunset Strip.

One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape is its use of dramatic themes. The theming of hotels, casinos, and restaurants on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists.

the River being tamed now by Hoover Dam

A little info about Hoover Dam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam

Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric power producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure. It was surpassed in both respects by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1945. It is currently the world's 35th largest hydroelectric generating station.

The dam, located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and then later as President of the United States. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1935, more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Lake Mead is the reservoir created behind the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.

Luxor Hotel, Las Vegas

Luxor Hotel is one of Las Vegas biggest Hotel. I was here around four times during my two months stay in Las Vegas. The first time we went here, we bought some tickets for shows like watching in the Luxor IMAX Cinema. The first ride we had was like we were in the space ..like the Star trek..you're familiar with that movie right??? Due to my motion sickness problem, I stopped the movie...sorry I just can't take the motion that I felt like vomiting while travelling in the so called space journey "kuno"... We also watch another movie, feeling like we are down the ocean...that was very fantastic and amazing how the ocean life was presented!!I love this hotel!! it is also very nice. I am feeling that I am in Luxor, Egypt...great experience!!

sharing this post with photos is better I guess!! what do you think...here are photos I took in Luxor..sorry just can't find a better one...my photos there are not yet organized..I guess I have around 8,000 photos as I was in USA last time...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxor

The Luxor is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It was one of the city's first fully-themed megaresorts. Ground was broken for the Luxor in 1991, that same year construction began on the Treasure Island and the current MGM Grand. It has an Ancient Egyptian motif and contains a total of 4,407 rooms lining the interior walls of a hollow pyramid and contained within twin ziggurat towers that were built as later additions. The hotel is named after the city of Luxor (ancient Thebes) in Egypt, the site of the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temples, and scores of other pharaonic monuments — but no pyramids.

In July 2007, owner MGM Mirage announced plans to thoroughly renovate the Luxor, spending $300 million to remodel 80 percent of Luxor's public areas, removing much of the ancient Egyptian theme and replacing it with more adult-oriented and modern lounges, restaurants and clubs.[1] Among the distinctive changes to the exterior occurred in mid-2007, when management covered one of the pyramid's massive black faces with a 15-story sign that advertises Absolut Vodka. On June 16, 2008 the sign was taken down.
