Party time in Las Vegas

Oh My God!!!! If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. The people, the neon lights, the gambling machines and tables, the high rise hotels and casinos, most in a theme i.e ours New York New York, plus Caesars Palace, Circus Circus, Mirage, Excalibur. 

Stepping off the plane and entering the terminal, we are greeted by poker machines. The party had started.

It was unbearably hot, but we are used to it, however, we stay in the casinos and hotels during the day, playing the machines. Spending $5 at a time, the last of the big spenders!! Venturing out into the streets at nights time.

Every night the spectactular water show, set to classical music entertained the crowds outside Caesars Palace.  Further down the strip the lava mountain show, had us enthralled with anticipation as the birds and crickets, creatures of the night, go silent and we wait for the display to start. The mountain erupts into fire and  lava flows.  Only in Las Vegas!!

Las Vegas through the eyes of my GoPro

My Canon 5d mk11 with L series lens attached was sometimes too heavy and too conspicuous to take with me on our sightseeing bus trip through Las Vegas. It was extremely hot and the GoPro was easy and fun. We had a great time, revisiting the stories of the movie heroes and elegant hotels and casinos  of Las Vegas

Caesars Palace fountains, spectacular

The Bubba Gump shrimp company restaurant. The movie was fantastic and the restaurant was a great idea, but for Aussies, the food was tasteless and overcooked and extremely noisy.

The approach to the Caesars Palace Hotel, we were on the top deck of the sight seeing bus and had a fantastic view

For pedestrian safety, each corner of the strip was serviced by escalators, to keep patrons from crossing the road at street level and to gain access to hotels on the other side of the street.
