I know I said I’d have these up last week, but I had to get my laptop repaired, and then there was family stuff going on until Saturday.
Now that’s all done with, I’ll post a few of the photos I took in Las Vegas a couple weeks back; hit the jump (beware, they are hi-res).
In chronological order (click for full-size):
The MGM Grand lion in profile.
This Atlas never shrugged.
The Eiffel Tower, minus those pesky French.
A winged lion outside Caesar's Palace.
Pegasus, springing from a rock at one of the fountains inside Caesar's Palace.
The Luxor, where we stayed (in one of the tower rooms, not one of the pyramid rooms, though).
Looking down into a bar in the Cosmopolitan. I didn't touch anything; I was afraid I'd break it.
Here's PTGH's daily dose of crass commercialism (in Vegas, is there any other kind?).
No, I don't walk around with my head at angle; I just like taking pictures this way.
The volcano show at the Mirage.
Hail, Caesar! He's directing me to finish crossing the street before I get hit by a crazy Vegas driver.
Another statue outside Caesar's Palace; they really went all out with the whole Roman theme.
The fountain show at the Bellagio. We lucked out; the song that played was "The Ecstasy of Gold."
The MG (I think?) just inside the entrance to the Imperial Palace. I only took the one picture, and it unfortunately turned out a little blurry. 😦
Fried chicken and waffles (with bacon inside!) at the Hash House a go go (inside the Imperial Palace). All that food for less than $20, and it was delicious!
I did a lot of walking (after all, it’s free, unlike everything else in Vegas) over the 3-4 days I was there, but not enough to make up for the food and booze.
I don’t know that I’d go out to Vegas too often; it could get expensive, and all the smoke in the casinos irritated my throat. But I could see going out there once every few years; it was a good time, and I enjoyed seeing friends I hadn’t seen in a few years.
