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.

There are many great hotels to stay but few have the much-coveted ‘wow’ factor. In the last 30 years, the emphasis on eco friendliness and preservation has inspired many a hotel owner to experiment with alternative hotel concepts. Of all the unusual hotels in the world, the following truly provide a once in a lifetime experience:

Chillingham Castle

As the name suggest, the castle really gives chills. It is located in Northumberland and is a Grade I listed historic building, which is now marketed as the most haunted location in Britain. This castle has also been featured in many popular documentaries. If you don't believe in ghosts, you may want to rent a room in this castle. Maybe, you will have other thoughts, after visiting this place.

360 Leti

Perched on the Himalayas are four perfectly placed cottages which boast a breathtaking view of this majestic mountain range. The village houses overlook the Ramganga River and snow capped mountains. From your sitting area, you’ll get a glimpse of the untouched Himalayan mountains and wilderness. Crafted by local tradesmen and staffed by locals, 360 Leti serves a variety of cuisine, including Indian, Tibetan, Continental and Asian. 360 Leti is a true Himalayan experience and has to be seen to be appreciated. This must-visit hotel has made 360 Leti very popular amongst travelers and adventurers alike, and has recently been voted in the top 101 hotels in the world, for the third year running.

Hotel Palafitte

Built on wooden silts in the middle of a lake in Switzerland, this hotel is an example of things to come. All water cabins have private terraces and some of them have direct access to the lake. A good restaurant provides various menus and delicious meals while room service caters to the need of most demanding guests.

Quinta Real Zacatecas

No one would expect an unusually characteristic lodging from a big chain but Quinta Real in Zacatecas has defied imagination by restoring a former bull fighting ring into an architectural jewel. The award winning building gives the feeling of a real Mexican fiesta in action. All suites face the cobblestone ring, which itself overlooks an old water aqueduct.

Jules Undersea Lodge

It is the only place on earth where you can spend a night underwater without any direct connection to the land. The lodge is located in Key Largo, Florida. To access it, one has to take a course in scuba diving. Once inside the small lodge, guests can enjoy every facility imaginable in a 2 star hotel. The freshly cooked seafood is provided by trained divers. There are two bedrooms, wet room and a common room. This undersea lodge contains a microwave, refrigerator, TV and stereo. There are three 42 inch windows.

Don't miss all these unique accommodations when you have the chance.

Some infos from Wikipedia about TI...thanks a lot Wiki...you're really great!!

Treasure Island (also known as "ti") is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA with 2,665 rooms and 220 suites, and is connected by tram to The Mirage as well as pedestrian bridge to the Fashion Show Mall shopping center.

TI has received the AAA Four Diamond rating each year since 1998, and is owned by MGM MIRAGE.

HISTORY

Treasure Island was opened by Mirage Resorts in 1993 under the direction of Steve Wynn at a cost of $450 million. The initial plans called for a tower addition to The Mirage, but later evolved into a full-fledged separate hotel casino resort. Treasure Island originally intended to attract families with whimsical pirate features and icons such as the skull-and-crossbones strip marquee, a large video arcade, and staged pirate battles nightly in "Buccaneer Bay" in front of the casino entrance on the Strip.

In 2003, the hotel largely abandoned its pirate theme for a more contemporary resort in efforts to focus more on adults. The original arcade and kid-friendly pool areas were replaced with an adult-friendly hot tub, contemporary nightclub and party bar. The famous skull-and-crossbones sign at the Strip entrance was replaced by one reading simply "ti" that is also a large LCD video screen.

The busy street of Las Vegas Strip. I can't forget the first time I stepped in Las Vegas. It was weekend when I arrived here and was really very traffic. The first hotel I stepped in was The Venetian where I had a dinner in a Chinese restaurant. You can see in this photo the superb and amazing lights in Las Vegas. That hotel is the Flamingo which is also located near Ballys..My Las Vegas escapades was truly a memorable one!!!

A photo taken inside Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas. I'm having a great smile here. Have a great week ahead. Sorry for my absence the past days..Life is sometimes very busy. take care everyone!

I was finally in Treasure Island in Las Vegas last year. I used to see this hotel everytime I went to the strip with a friend, my sister or my cousin and her family. Keep reading below for more info about Treasure Island.

This is like a Chinese altar..not really a temple in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. The day when I met my friend, Mercy. I always remember our College days when we were varsity players in softball women.. Those were such memorable experiences during our College days. Thanks a lot for taking the photos Merz...hope to see you next time again!! have fun in Vegas. here is a little info about Caesars Palace..courtesy of Wikipedia..visit their site for more info.

Caesars Palace, is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, an unincorporated township in Clark County, Nevada, United States in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Caesars Palace is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. Caesars is located on the west side of the Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage.

taking a remembrance photo at The Bellagio Hotel which is famous for its dancing water show everyday. I already watched it a lot of times...love it especially that it has music too!! happy day to all!!

Have you been to Las Vegas? I am happy and honored to visit this famous entertainment capital of the world. Las Vegas is not only famous about the fun and entertainments it brings to its guests and visitors but it is also famous for its luxury mega hotels. I visited almost all Las Vegas Hotels to see the difference of each to the others. And yes, each hotel here are truly unique from each other.

One hotel that caught my attention is Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Country Club. The photo that I posted here was taken from Fashion Show Mall. Wynn has some notable features among Las Vegas Hotels. First and foremost, it is the tallest hotel in Las Vegas Strip and has 2,716 rooms which ranked number 18 in terms of number of rooms. If ever you will check-in to this Mobil 5 star hotel, don't be surprise because your room key will also be your casino frequent-player card in one card which also make it very notable.

Another thing that caught my attention as I entered this hotel was its so-called Lake of dreams. Take a look at the photo which I also posted here. The main attraction as you enter Wynn, is a large curtain of waterfalls facing the strip and located behind a mountain. And you know why it is called Lake of Dreams? it is because both the waterfalls and the lake display images on them to produce the show called Lake of Dreams. Don't miss to visit Wynn and watch this free show. I was truly amazed by the beauty of this man-made lake and waterfalls at Wynn. It was truly a fantastic experience as I visited this hotel. Just keep on visiting here for more photos and updates. Feel free to also visit my other sites. If ever you will visit Las Vegas, why not check-in at Wynn to enjoy their great services? I hope I will win in lotto today so that I can go back in Vegas very soon. For sure, I will check-in at Wynn if I will win. wish me luck and have a great day to all!!

See that fairytale castle where I became a bottled-water model!!lol...just kidding guys!! Actually it is not a castle but the so-called Excalibur Hotel. Oh yes, it looks like a castle, if you want to feel like sleeping in a fairytale castle, you can book it too!! It has around 4,008 rooms which ranked top 5 in terms of size around the world..really huge!!

I finally have the chance to update this site! first of all, I hope that you had a great welcome for this year 2009. We just keep on hoping that this year will be a better year for all of us!!

This photo was taken by yours truly while inside the car. This is the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. visit Vegas and see it live!! have a great evening!! best wishes for 2009!!

Bellagio is an AAA Five-Diamond, Mobil Four-Starred rated luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in the Paradise area of unincorporated Clark County, Nevada, USA. It is owned by MGM Mirage and was built on the site of demolished Dunes hotel and casino. Inspired by the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy, Bellagio is famed for its elegance. One of its most notable features is an 8-acre (32,000 m2) artificial lake between the building and the Strip, which houses the Fountains of Bellagio, a large dancing water fountain synchronized to music.

Bellagio was conceived by Steve Wynn and built by his company, Mirage Resorts, Inc. following the purchase and demolition of the legendary Dunes hotel and casino in 1993. Bellagio was designed by Marnell Corrao Associates and Jon Jerde. Bellagio had an original construction cost of US$1.6 billion.

The Bellagio employs approximately 10,000 people. In the fall of 2006, the casino floor was remodeled and new uniforms were issued, changing the original color scheme to a more contemporary blue and fire truck red two tone blazers.

Inside Bellagio, Dale Chihuly's Fiori di Como, composed of over 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers, covers 2,000 sq ft (190 m2) of the lobby ceiling. Bellagio is home to Cirque du Soleil's aquatic production of "O", only the second permanent production show for the world-renowned troupe.

New York-New York uses the New York City theme of its name in many ways. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York City skyline; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a pool representing New York Harbor, with a 150 ft (46 m) tall (half-scale) replica of the Statue of Liberty, a roller coaster, and replicas of the Brooklyn Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Ellis Island, and Grand Central Terminal, among other well-known structures.

Within the resort, particular gambling areas, bars, eating areas and meeting rooms are named after New York City neighborhoods or landmarks. The main casino area, for example, is named after Central Park, while the "Village Eateries" food court is modeled after New York City's Greenwich Village, even including real menus from New York Chinese takeout restaurants taped to the doors of the mock apartment buildings. New York-New York uses the trademarked slogan "The Greatest City in Las Vegas".

The resort is located on the northwest corner of the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection. At street level, pedestrians are blocked from crossing by concrete barriers. Instead, New York-New York is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to the south (the Excalibur, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east (the MGM Grand, across the Strip).
