LAS VEGAS and Cirque Du Soleil

Oct.23 to Oct.30th--Leaving Pahrump and the high desert we set off to Las Vegas to meet KC who was arriving by plane later that afternoon. Our last trip to Vegas was 25 years ago and we were amazed to see how much the City had grown.

The Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino where KC was staying.

New York New York Hotel and Casino. This is actually one hotel made up to resemble the New York skyline.

Especially enjoyed the Cirque Du Soliel show "O" at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino.

The Stratosphere Hotel and Tower with revolving Restaurant . There is a roller coaster that runs around the top of the tower-unreal-only in Vegas.

KC and I at the Bellagio waiting for the Cirque Du Soleil show to start. Note the replica of the Eiffel Tower in Background.

Halloween theme inside the Ballagio Hotel.

Las Vegas the City of lights-unreal!

Caesar's Palace featuring Cher. Didn't she retired?

We checked into the Hitching Post R.V. Park on the Las Vegas Blvd.North, right beside the Nellis Airforce Base. We had picked the Hitching Post because it's located 10 miles off the strip and away from all the traffic and noise. The RV park was clean and well managed with full hookups; the only drawback being the constant roar of the fighter jets taking off and landing at the Airbase.

The ubiquitous Chem trails. Every day started out sunny without a cloud in the sky. The picture above shows the sky after the spray planes made numerous passes.

The Pyramid at the Luxor Hotel and Casino.

The front of New York New York Hotel and Casino. Note the roller coaster .

Shopping Mall on the Strip. The sculpture in the center of the picture is actually a restaurant.

The Harley Davidson Cafe.

The Arc Du Triomphe at The Paris Hotel.

The Eiffel tower at The Paris Hotel.

Caesar's Palace hotel and Casino.

The Venetian Hotel and Casino. To give you an idea of how big these hotels are, this picture was taken inside the hotel where they have replicated the canals of Venice. The sky in this picture is not the sky at all, but the roof of the hotel painted to resemble the sky. Amazing!

The size of the hotels and the grandeur of the decor is truly amazing.

Each one with a unique theme as they try to out do one another in order to attract the tourist dollar. Note the Paintings on the roof.

Alvina at The Venetian Hotel.

Unbelievable Artwork
