The Strip Las Vegas.......2nd April...

Our last visit to The Strip in Vegas was 1980 and needless to say it's changed !!
Our campsite is on North Las Vegas Boulevard which runs into South LVB which is The Strip.....easy free parking (as at all Vegas hotels) at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.....
The following pics are some of the famous hotels/casinos......large areas of The Strip are undergoing demolition and rebuilding but still plenty to see and enjoy....the street perfumers and vendors were very entertaining.....
The Mirage.....
A very small area of the huge Caesars Palace.....
The Bellagio....the water fountains were not scheduled to "do their thing" for another hour.....
The clouds that have been building all day are getting greyer and there is a very cold wind......
The Strip is best experienced after dark when the lights and the atmosphere combine to give the real feel of the party town that is Las Vegas.......

Paris.......
We had a good walk around The Venetian an inside taste of Venice and WARM !! It is very clever and  quiet amazing with the canals and gondoliers......
New York New York in background, by now we are frozen and it's raining, we have dropped approx 50 degrees since Death Valley....yes we've done it again the last time we came to Vegas it rained....it doesn't do it very often and the locals love it !!!!!
We've enjoyed our trip down memory lane and enjoyed the vibrance of The Strip....it's time now to go home and have a nice hot cup of tea !!!!

  2. I'd still like to see it, although I know I'm only ever going to want to see it once and I wont want to be there long. How bizarre that you conjure up rain! See you soon.

  3. Thanks guys for comments.......The Strip really needs to be viewed after dark when the lights come into play and the volcano etc erupts....the ideal thing is to stay in one of the many hotels to experience the whole thing...
