Second Day
View from our hotel room.
Ah, the mountains.
Mindi and Gina are dwarfed in comparison to the TI sign.
Gina and Mindi on one of the many overpasses.
View of the Eiffel Tower. We will see this same view later tonight.
Looks real doesn't it?
I can't remember if this ceiling is inside the Paris Hotel or the Bellagio Hotel.
Fall foliage on display at the Bellagio Hotel.
The pool at the Bellagio.
The Hotel's Lobby.
A fruit filled O and a very colorful ceiling.
Close-up.
Another beautiful ceiling.
The Sanctuary.
An autumn display is filled with apples.
The floor in the Sanctuary.
Close-up.
Attention to detail is incredible and color coordination explicit.
Another glorious ceiling.
This wall was made of water. Gina and I had to touch it to make sure.
One of the many foyers.
Having fun with the mirrors.
The New York City skyline with palm trees and a rollercoaster.
Gina and Mindi walk on the wild side (the skinny sidewalk).
I prefer to walk on the normal sidewalk and take their photo.
The MGM Grand and the Coca-Cola Pavilion.
Gina and Mindi and the Brooklyn Bridge. They didn't see what I saw until I showed them the photo.
Chapstick is a major necessity in Vegas. $2.95 for one stick. A priceless necessity.
Bet you didn't know that M&M's came in so many colors?
The color array was impressive and the
smell of chocolate overpowering.
Btw, you too can order M&M's in many colors by visiting their
website at M&M's.com
I just love this elevator and the back of the M&M dudes.
While taking a break and people watching, I notice our perfect reflection and take our picture.
With the Coca-Cola bear.
Gina and I actually try to find this movie theater on Sunday evening.
Note that behind Denny's really meant, find Denny's, walk through a large parking lot, buy water
at a convenience store and then proceed to the theater that had no good movies or break times.
Me on The Strip with New York, New York as a backdrop.
Just in case you wanted to know what the Statue of Liberty looked like with palm trees.
The New York skyline.
Kind of surreal, isn't it?
The lion that guards the MGM Grand.
Roar!
You have to love Vegas, the Brooklyn Bridge on one side of the street and the Eiffel Tower on the other.
Gina and Mindi wait for me. They are always waiting for me to take a photo.
They were great
and I thank them. Besides, they already have asked me for these photos.
A cool wall display in a store.
Enjoying the pool and a few daiquiris.
Gina outside Sephora.
Gina gets into trouble with a few bike police.
Not. We just stopped by to schmooze and admire their wheels.
See told you, that same photo from the daytime; at night.
The Bellagio at night.
The Fountains.
These were truly amazing. Totally synched to different music each time.
Always different, always changing, any view that you watched from.
My favorite exhibit, besides the Wynn Hotel.
Mesmerizing.
The water was dancing.
Oooh.
Aaah.
Oh.
The MGM Grand, at night. It's green, but appears blue in this photo.
There, green at last, with a full moon in the background.
Another mirror photo, this one on the ceiling.
We took this while waiting on line for a taxicab.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
Day 3
Return to the World.
