Vegas by day ... whoa

At night, Vegas is a flurry of lights, flurry and activity ... but by day, you could be in Disneyland - it's a real family type atmosphere, with lovely sun, lots to see, wide walkways. Well, apart from all the poker machines I guess.

One of my favourite sights in Vegas is the Paris Hotel. It has a large replica of the Eiffel tower (Which I've been to cheap to go and visit, but hey). It is, like so many things on Vegas, very impressive!



The Vegas "Strip" refers to the main road on Vegas where most of the hotels lie within a 2 mile area, mostly. We were right in the middle, at this great-location-cheap-but-cheerful location called "Imperial Palace", which we affectionately referred to as "The Palace" (hoping some people would confuse it with the across-the-road Caesar's Palace). Here's the strip itself ...



Whilst day time does not boast the incredible night lights of Vegas, they both have lot of advertising. Here's a rather strange sight I saw ... three advertising billboards (including two portable ones) for the same rather unpopular entertainer ...



And finally, one of my favourite hotels, Bellagio (from Ocean's Eleven) and its amazing huge fountain, which plays every half an hour to loud music in sync. It's very huge! Unfortunately, it doesn't play every half an hour, leading to confusion ...
