These are not really good snapshots but I would only like to share how Las Vegas Strip look like for you to have some ideas about it. Beside, I am not really a professional photographer..lol! I know Las Vegas is a dream of many to travel and I believed I am very lucky to visit it.

You can see in Las Vegas Strip many of the world's largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world. It is said that out of the world's 25 largest hotels by room, nineteen are on the Strip. Truly amazing!

I can also say that once you visit Las Vegas, you wil have a feeling that you had also visited other cities in the world. Taking for example Caesars Palace Hotel which is patterned in Rome, Italy, you will also feel that you are in Rome once you are there. The Venetian Hotel which is patterned from Venice, Italy. They also have a manmade lake where you can ride a Gondola and feeling like in Venice. The cityscape of Las Vegas Strip is truly amusing and exciting.

I hope to visit this city again in the future. Here are some images taken during my two months vacation in Las Vegas last 2008.

The modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and residential high-rises on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists

That yellow lighted round building is the Colosseum in Caesars Palace Hotel. Famous entertainers like Celine Dion, Elton John, Beth Midley are performing here.

The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. The Strip lies in the unincorporated areas of Paradise and Winchester. Most of "the Strip" has been designated an All-American Road.

This is one of the last pictures I took inside Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Luxor, I am not talking about Luxor in Egypt here but about Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, is also the last hotel I visited before I flew back to Europe. I felt like visiting Luxor in Egypt every time I go inside this hotel. Take a look at it below!

The Luxor is located on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip, opposite the McCarran International Airport. The resort is flanked by the Mandalay Bay to the south and by the Excalibur to the north; all three are connected by free express and local trams. All three properties were built by Circus Circus Enterprises, which later became Mandalay Resort Group.

When it opened on October 15, 1993, the pyramid was the tallest building on the strip and took 2 years to build and a total of 968 workers; it cost $375 million to build. A theater and two additional hotel towers totaling 2,000 rooms were added in 1998 for $675 million. In June 2004, the Mandalay Resort Group was purchased by MGM Mirage, adding this hotel to its vast array of properties on the "Strip". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxor_Las_Vegas

I can't forget that night when I first stepped in Las Vegas. My sister and her hubby picked-me up in McCarran International Airport. The drove me first in Las Vegas Strip and I was amazed by the different colourful neon lights and signs in this city. After that, I complained that I am hungry and we went inside The Venetian Hotel where I had my first dinner in Las Vegas.

Here is one of the pictures I took as we were driving around Las Vegas strip. That was May 4, 2008.

Good morning everyone! I am striking again online to share an image from Las Vegas, Nevada. You can see in the picture The Rio All Suite Hotel in Las Vegas. Sorry folks this is not really a good picture. We just happened to pass-by at this hotel as we were on our way to my cousin's house. I am just sharing this picture to share how this hotel looks like by night. Keep reading below.

The Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino is located off the Las Vegas Strip in the unincorporated area of Paradise, Nevada, USA. It is better known as The Rio and is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. The Rio was the first all suite resort in the Las Vegas area. It was named after the city of Rio de Janeiro, and is influenced by Brazilian culture.

The hotel towers are covered in the signature purple and red glass. The Rio hotel's 2,522 suites range in size from 600 to 13,000 sq ft (56 to 1,200 m2) and have floor to ceiling windows. There are several private villas on property for high-rollers.

The complex includes a wine cellar that has more than 50,000 bottles.[1] The Rio Pavilion convention center has a total of 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m2) of space. A Race and Sports Book is also available. more infos here

I truly miss watching the dancing water show in front of Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas strip, Nevada. I watched this show for a lot of times during my stay there and I believed I will never get bored of watching it. Now it is over. I am back in Europe and all I can see are the pictures I took during my 2 months vacation in this city. Las Vegas is truly an entertainment place! Here are some of the pictures I took during my trip to Las Vegas.
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 DeRuyter Butler and Atlandia Design. Bellagio had an original construction cost of US$1.6 billion.

The Bellagio opened October 15, 1998, just before 11 p.m. in a ceremony that was reported to cost US$88 million. The VIPs invited to the grand opening were expected to donate to The Foundation Fighting Blindness US$1,000 a person or US$3,500 a couple, which entitled them to an overnight stay at Bellagio's suite rooms.
The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. (See musical fountain.) The performances take place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. to midnight. Before a water show starts, the nozzles break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel tower turn to a purple hue (usually), or red-white-and-blue for certain music. Shows may be cancelled without warning because of wind, although shows usually run with less power in face of wind. A single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music, including songs by Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly.

The fountains are set in a 9-acre (3.6 ha) manmade lake. Contrary to urban myth, the lake is not filled with treated greywater from the hotel. The lake is actually serviced by a freshwater well that was drilled decades prior to irrigate a golf course that previously existed on the site. The fountains actually use less water than irrigating the golf course did.[5] They incorporate a network of pipes with more than 1,200 nozzles that make it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with more than 4,500 lights. It is estimated that the fountains cost $75 million to build. The fountains were created by WET, a design firm specializing in inventive fountains and architectural water features. wikipedia

Another Vegas picture is here! Is this in Venice, Italy? Not really guys. This was taken in Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm raising my hand to say hi to everyone. I can remember the day as this photo was taken. I met a dear friend Mercy in Las Vegas. It was a nice day talking to old friend again. I hope you have a little idea how Venice in Las Vegas looks like. I also hope to give you some updates when I am away for a home vacation. take care guys and thanks to all friends who paid their visits in my sites. I truly appreciate it.

I already posted some pictures of Hoover Dam in Nevada sometime in this site. I am just sharing another photo that shows an evidence that I was in this great architecture. This dam is also known as the Boulder Dam and is located between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was completed in 1936 and during this time it was the both the world's largest electric-power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. What an amazing work of engineering! here I am smiling happily as I saw this place.

I'm back here again! I remember a good friend, schoolmate and "kababayan" or townmate during my vacation in Vegas last year. Mercy is also one of my "kaberks" and co-athlete in softball back in College days. We finally met in Las Vegas and I am happy about it seeing good friends again. Here we are inside Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada! I miss this city!

the beautiful statues and monuments inside Caesars Palace Hotel.

These are amazing monuments! I am thinking that I was also in Luxor, Egypt as I visited this hotel. They simply have a lot of things to offer to their guest and visitors. Here I am striking a pose in this awesome hotel, The Luxor in Las Vegas, Nevada! I was there!

Of all the hotels I visited in Las Vegas, I always love to walk in Caesars Palace Hotel. I don't know why but I just love it here. Sometimes we go shopping, eat out or simply go around and see what's going on. Is it because it resembles Rome? the city that I always wanted to see and explore. This is taken somewhere inside the Caesars palace Hotel. I miss this place and my sister too..never forget to mention my lovely cousins there!

You want to visit most places from around the world? I suggest, you better go to Las Vegas, Nevada. Here you can have almost everything. The background in my picture is the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. This hotel features the city of Venice in Italy. They also have here the Venice Canal where you can go for cruising. Realto de Venezia can also be found here. I am sharing my picture in Venice, Las Vegas!! amazing travel!
that's me wearing a hut in very warm Las Vegas..the background is the Venetian Hotel and Palazzo Hotel...very memorable vacation!

Am I going shopping to the shops of Flamingo Hotel or just want to take a post. I am just sharing this photo guys...I hope to give you more updates in a few days! Just feel free to visit my other sites for more updates!

Before going inside and look what's going on at Flamingo Hotel, I strike a pose first. Thanks to Portia who took photos of me. You can see in my background the Flamingo Hotel located at Las Vegas Strip. I had fun at Flamingo because right in their entrance were dancers who entertain people from outside the hotel. I guess they were tempting the people to go inside and have fun playing games. you know what I mean guys! below is also a little info about Flamingo Hotel. courtesy of Wikipedia

The Flamingo Las Vegas is a hotel located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada and is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. The property offers a 77,000 sq ft (7,200 m2) casino along with 3,626 hotel rooms. The hotel is sometimes referred to as the pink hotel due to the structure's neon pink color. The 15 acres (6.1 ha) site's architectural theme is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style of Miami and South Beach, with the central outdoor area housing an exhibit of flamingos as part of a wildlife habitat. It was the home of penguins, but they have since been moved to a Dallas zoo. It was the third resort to open on the strip. The Flamingo has a Las Vegas Monorail station at the rear of the property.

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!

Don't get confuse. I am not the winner in Las Vegas. I only won $20.00 as I played there. My sister just took a photo in front of that screen that says $3.2 million winner. I just even see this photo now after browsing it in my pictures file. I got thousands of photos from Vegas that I can't remember all unless I start looking for it. Who is that person anyway? It has a face but not so clear..congrats to all winners in Las Vegas! at least I have a lot of pictures as remembrance!

I have been in Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas for I guess around five times. We also always passed this hotel everytime we go to Las Vegas strip. Don't you know that the only light that you can see in the space is the one that is coming from Luxor? amazing! My sister in Las Vegas told me about it. As you can see in the photo, I am truly enjoying my escapades in Las Vegas! I also browse the net to find info about Luxor's spotlight...keep reading!

The Spotlight in Luxor

The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed-position spotlight that points directly upward – it is the brightest beam in the world, and is visible from anywhere in the Las Vegas valley at night, and can be seen at flight level from above Los Angeles, California, over 275 miles (440 km) away. At ground level, on clear nights, the beam could also be seen as far south as Laughlin and even as far north as Mesquite or Beatty. It is directly straight ahead on US-93 in Arizona, north of Kingman, before reaching the Hoover Dam. In the spring, the bright light attracts huge numbers of moths into the light beam, creating a phenomenon that has been likened to snow. Light is generated using 39 Xenon lamps of 7 kilowatts each. The hourly cost, including lamps, electricity, and repairs, is US$51 — roughly two weeks' worth of electricity for the average American household. The total light output is rated at 41.5 gigacandela, or 30.2 billion lumens. Hotel engineers, as well as the hotel's own website also claim that the light can be observed from space.

This is how I call Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas, "The Fairytale Castle Hotel". Look how it looks like in the photo I got here. Isn't it a dream if you stay in this hotel. It seems that you are also staying in a castle! I was only there for sightseeing. very lovely hotel! read more below for more information.

The Excalibur Hotel is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, in the United States. It is owned and operated by MGM Mirage.

Excalibur, named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, uses the Arthurian theme in several ways. Its facade is a stylized image of a castle. Until 2007, a wizard-like figure representing Merlin looked out from a high turret. The style of the hotel is heavily based on the castle in Carcassone, France.

Excalibur is situated at the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection. The intersection is so busy that pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. Instead, Excalibur is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to the north (the New York-New York, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east (the Tropicana, across the Strip). There is also a free tram that connects Excalibur to its sister MGM Mirage properties to the south, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. As of 2007, Excalibur has remodeled 2000 of their guest rooms to feature contemporary furnishings and state-of-the-art plasma-screen TV's. source: http://en.wikipedia.org

I saw last time some photos of my friend in Las Vegas. I ask myself, "Do I have the chance to visit Las Vegas?". I keep on dreaming about it and finally that dream came true. I spent a 2 months vacation in the US last year and stayed most of the time in Las Vegas. This photo was taken in front of Colosseum in Caesars Palace where the famous singers/ entertainers like Cher, Elton John, Celine Dion, etc. usually perform. In fact, I witnessed the concert of Elton John's Red Piano last May 2008. It was a great experience seeing famous artist performed like Elton John. I was not able to see Cher's Performance..At least I had a photo remembrance from her in front of Colosseum. Maybe next time, I can watch here live!

I am happy to let you know that I finally visited the real Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. I thought I can only see its replica in Las Vegas but it was a dream come true! I was finally there last weekend. Of course the one in Paris is taller compared in Las Vegas since it is the original one. Feel free to visit my other blogs for photos that I will be posting. It was truly a great experience guys!

The Eiffel Tower replica in Las Vegas. Would you think I need to take weight loss supplements if I climb Eiffel Tower everyday.. I will give you more update tomorrow since I am really very tired today! have a great evening!
