Las Vegas Part 2~The Strip

Here's Las Vegas Blvd, AKA The Strip. It was overwhelming. Every hotel/casino is so huge and I just love the themes so much! (I'm a very "themey" type person) Of course if you know me at all, you know that I just couldn't wait to get my pic in front of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris.

Although we used the self-timer a few times, there were so many nice people around that offered to take our pictures (and did.) There were several places we didn't end up going because we just ran out of time.

Again, some of these are taken at night and some are during the day, but I've lumped them all together as Hotels/Casinos on the Strip...

Las Vegas Part 1~Our Hotel

We have been back from our Anniversary trip to Vegas for a week now. We had a great time! (despite the terrible luck we had traveling) I've finally uploaded over 400 pictures I took (gasp!) and since it's a little overwhelming to me to narrow them down to share with you, I've decided to make several parts to a series. (Blogging should NOT be overwhelming!) Hopefully I can post over the next week or so and relive our trip!

So, tonight's tour starts with our hotel, The Venetian. It was absolutely gorgeous, dripping in Italian finery! These photos were not all taken on the same day, or time of day, but they are all of the Venetian.

The view from our room
I loved seeing this huge mountain in the distance (it's a little hazy in this pic but it was beautiful!) It reminded me we were in the desert. (As if the 106 degree temp didn't!)
Wayne and I in front of the Grand Canal inside the hotel

The Grand Canal Shoppes (that sky is FAKE!)
