Las Vegas......'much more than gambling'.
One of our favorite places in the country is the Las Vegas Strip... and we were somewhat surprised to see that on the returned surveys Vegas received a 'luke warm' reception as far as places you'd like to travel to.
We've been there dozens of times in the past few years, mostly because Vegas hosts the biggest and the best photography conferences in the world. Our favorite place to stay on the strip is Bally's. The price is reasonable but the main reason we stay there is location - location - location !
Located right in the heart of the action, Bally's is next door to the Paris Resort and Casino. In fact, because they are both owned by the same group, if you stay in one, you can take advantage of all the amenities of the other one, as well. Paris is a very upscale property and, as Bally's guests, it offers some special surprises. Not the least, is the Eiffel Tower replica...pictured above from our Bally's room window during the day...and below from our window at night.
Right across the street (Las Vegas Boulevard) is my favorite place in all of Vegas....the magnificent Bellagio, with a huge man made lake that features a spectacular water dancing show every half hour. It is so cool...and it's free ! I have to see it several times whenever I'm in Vegas.
For just a few dollars, you can ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower and get a truly 'breathtaking' view of Vegas...including the water show at the Bellagio.
I'll show you those unbelievable images on the next post....so stay tuned to this travel news letter called travel-ography.com ..... and if you haven't signed up for the free subscription at the upper left of the website, please do so now.
Until next time,
Steve
