I haven't seen the original Sphinx in   Giza, Egypt but at  least I saw  its replica in Luxor Las Vegas, Nevada. This historical monument patterned from Egypt is very interesting. I thought I can only watch it in Television but I had  truly  seen it in person. Although it is only a replica but I am still happy to see it  from  my naked eyes. I know one day, I can visit the real one in Egypt. It is  included in my travel wishlist.

Luxor Las Vegas is located in on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is a hotel and a casino. Its architecture was based in ancient Thebes, now the city of Luxor.

These snapshots I took from Caesars Palace Las Vegas were not really good ones. I am just happy to share it that I was there once in my life. Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas Strip, Paradise, Nevada. If you feel like visiting Rome, you can experience it in this hotel. That is why a lot of tourists are talking, that if you want to feel like visiting a lot of places in this planet, go to Las Vegas! Yes, I did and I truly experienced it!


Caesars Palace has six towers namely, the Augustus, Centurion, Roman, Palace, Octavius, and Forum. It has a total of 3,960 rooms located in these towers.

This is one of the luxury hotels I visited when I was in Las Vegas, Nevada last 2008. Planet Hollywood Las Vegas was previously known as The Aladdin. It is a casino resort owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp. It has a modern architecture themed from Hollywood. I went inside the lobby of this hotel for a lot of times for sightseeing and window shopping.

I am back here to share some updates. It seems that I was busy with some things since the past days. I am currently out of the country. I am planning to go for a trip today to Avila, Spain but decided not to go. There are some assignments that need to be done before the fun will start here in Madrid.

Anyway, I m sharing this image of Treasure Island Hotel and casino in Las Vegas Strip, Nevada, USA. It is commonly knonw as TI for short. It has 2,664 rooms and 220 suites, quite a big hotel. It is connected by tram to The Mirage as well as pedestrian bridge to the Fashion Show Mall shopping center.

The hotel has received the AAA Four Diamond rating each year since 1999.

This is another property of Caesars Entertainment Corp. O'sheas is situated on the Las Vegas Strip in unincorporated Clark County, Nevada. I remembered walking in this part of Las Vegas Strip during my two months vacation in this city last 2008. I am not really a fan of gambling and playing casinos. It is enough for me to look around, observe and most of all take pictures of everything that catches my camera.

Here is a snapshot of O'sheas while I was gallivanting around Las Vegas strip. It was quite an adventure for me walking around alone and I love it.

I can't wait to visit Las Vegas again hopefully this year in summer. ..in God's will.

O'Shea's was briefly featured in the 1997 movie National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation where the character Rusty Griswold won a car through a slot machine sitting outside the casino.

Fabulous Las Vegas! There are a lot of things to experience in this famous city of Nevada in the United States. One of the things you can do is hotel-hopping. With the different themes and architecture of the hotels in Las Vegas, you will surely feel that you also visit other countries.

Taking for example a visit to Luxor Las Vegas. This pyramid-shaped hotel is named after the city of Luxor in Egypt. It is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is considered to be the third largest hotel in the world and the second largest in Las Vegas after MGM Grand Las Vegas.

The photo you see below is the lobby interior of Luxor. You can see an obelisk inside located at the middle part of the hotel's lobby.

I had a great time during my two months holiday in Las Vegas almost four years ago. Time passed-by so fast nowadays. I feel like I was only there last year.

The first tower hotel that I have seen is Stratosphere Las Vegas. It is considered to be the tallest tower in Las Vegas and the 5th-tallest structure, in the United States. It is said to have a height of 1,149 ft (350 m). Sad to say, I was not able to go-up on top of it. Maybe in my next visit.

We just happened to pass-by Stratosphere and this is one of the snapshots I took. I hope to make a better picture in my next visit.

I did not really had the chance to go inside Imperial Palace in Las Vegas. We just to pass-by this hotel everytime we go walking in Las Vegas strip. It has 2,640 rooms and a 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2) casino.

Its attractions are, The Auto Collections which is the world's largest classic car showroom with more than $100 million worth of inventory on display and for sale, Legends in Concert and Human Nature.

This is just a snapshot of my Vegas vacation last 2008.

The hotel and casino were owned by Imperial Palace LLC until purchased by the current owner, Caesars Imperial Palace Corporation a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corp..

I can't exactly remember now how many fountains I did saw inside Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the first hotel I stepped in Las Vegas. This is one of the hotels where I used to go walking and sightseeing. I feel like in Venice everytime I go there.


The Venetian is (along with the adjacent Sands Expo Convention Center and The Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort) part of the largest five-diamond hotel and resort complex in the world with 4,049 suites, 4,059 hotel rooms, and a 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) casino. wikipedia

Planet Hollywood is owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp. In April 2010, Total Rewards replaced the "A-List" Player rewards card at Planet Hollywood.

This is one of the first snapshots I took in Las Vegas. After my sister and her husband picked me up at the airport, they drove me in Las Vegas Strips. I was amazed by the glittering neon lights in this part of Las Vegas. Las Vegas Strip is where you can see most of the huge and luxury hotels in this city.

Imperial Palace is now owned by Caesars Imperial Palace Corporation a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corp.. It has 2,640 rooms and a 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2) casino.

One of the major attractions of this hotel is its Auto Collections. It is the world's largest classic car showroom with more than $100 million worth of inventory on display and for sale.

If you want to see mega-luxury hotels, one of the best place to go is Las Vegas. I was amazed seeing these huge and interesting architecture of the hotels in this city. One of the super luxury resort and hotel you can see there is Wynn Las Vegas, shortly called as Wynn. This hotel opened in April 28, 2005 and is located directly across The Strip from the Fashion Show Mall.

This is not really a good shot below but I guess it is better than nothing at all.

This has been our hang-out most of the time. Bally's Las Vegas is a hotel in Las Vegas Strip. My cousin who is a lead singer of a band used to perform in this hotel. I am one her fans and I always loved watching her performance. At this moment, my cousin stopped performing already. I guess, she has this so-called whole life insurance because she seems to go for an early retirement. I once heard her saying that she was already tired performing. I was a bit sad about that news because she is really a good singer. I believed she is happy with her decision.

Here is an image of Ballys in its entrance to the casino. Its neon lighting wrapped around the covered moving sidewalk is one of the signature features of Bally's Las Vegas. It has also a huge shopping floor inside. I miss this place!

So, what's this Trojan Horse exactly doing inside Caesars palace? I thought Ceasars Palace is featuring Rome not Turkey or what? Anyway, it's really none of my business. What is important for me, I was in Vegas and had the chance to see and to experience this so-called "entertainment capital of the world". I love Vegas!

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, simply known as the Venetian Las Vegas is a luxury hotel in Las Vegas Strip, Paradise, Nevada, United States. This is the first hotel where I stepped on during my first night in Las Vegas. My sister and her hubby brought me here to take my first dinner in Vegas. The tiresome long hours of flight was gone when I see this place especially that waterfall inside the hotel.

This hotel features a life-like replica tower of St Mark's Campanile in Venice, Italy.

the waterfalls on the lobby of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas during my two months vacation last 2008.

I guess you are very familiar about Sphinx. If you happened to visit Luxor in Egypt, you might had been able to see several sphinx statues. The Great Sphinx of Giza is also the biggest and the most popular one. I am very happy that once in my life, I had seen some sphinx statues in Luxor Las Vegas.

The sphinx you see below is the one that you can see at the of Luxor, a famous and luxury hotel in Las Vegas. This hotel has a very unique design, the reason why it received recognition as being among the most recognizable hotels on the strip. It was designed by hotel architect Veldon Simpson and interior designer Charles Silverman. The hotel is named after the city of Luxor in Egypt.

If you are in Las Vegas Strip, I am quite sure you had already seen this sign in a shape of Montgolfier balloon in Paris. I found this iconic bulbous of Paris very sexy and simply interesting. Take a look at the image I took during my vacation in Las Vegas. Do you have an idea how this balloon is inflated everyday. Me, neither! No matter what, I simply love this neon sign.

Great job from the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph-Michel (26 August 1740 – 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne (6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) who invented the montgolfière-style hot air balloon. Now, you know where did Paris got this idea.

a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon in Paris, Las Vegas. sorry guys, this is not really a good shot. Probably in my next visit, I can already give you a better picture because I already have a better camera.

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, commonly called as The Venetian Las Vegas is a luxury hotel and casino resort in Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, NV, United States. It is located between Harrah's and The Palazzo. This hotel features a life-like replica tower of St Mark's Campanile in Venice, Italy.

The first hotel I visited upon my arrival in Las Vegas last May 2008. This is where I took my first dinner in Las Vegas. You see the canal inside the hotel? Like in Venice, Italy, you can have a tour in the Venetian hotel through its canal. You can also see a lot of shops inside the hotel. I felt like in Venice when I visited this luxury hotel. Anyway, I had been to Venice, Italy twice in October 2005 and April 2006.

I finally found another image in my external hard drive. This is the Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel. It is located in Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel has 366 rooms. It is said that Binion's is now closed for renovation.

This hotel is formerly called Binion's Horseshoe. The rights to the "Horseshoe" name are now owned by Caesars Entertainment Corporation. TLC Enterprises, owner of the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, purchased Binions for $32 million in March 2008.

I visited this hotel in 2008. I miss Vegas!
