If Rome was like this.... - Las Vegas
If Rome was like this.... Caesar's Palace Review

Caesar's Palace is for me the most overblown tasteless hotel-casino etc... in Las Vegas. [And I don't want to think what the other is if you prove me wrong:(]
.
The statues are certainly not from MY art history textbook -- and they are everywhere, both inside and out!
.
And you gotta see it!

Bellagio Conservatory - Las Vegas

Bellagio Conservatory

The Bellagio Garden: Summer 2004 -- I Bellagio Conservatory Review

A highlight of a visit to Bellagio are the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. Seasonally themed, the summer show strikes the chords of patriotism and American summer pastimes.

Directions: Center Strip, across from Barbary Coast/Flamingo

When's the next gondola?? - Las Vegas
When's the next gondola?? Venetian Hotel - Casino Review

For my $$$ The Venetian is the best of the "themed" hotels. The detail is stunning both inside and out. Please visit the travelogue to see more.

On the right of the photo-collage are the check-in desk with a map of Vemice and a picture of one of the hotel pools.

O Sole Mio .... - Las Vegas

O Sole Mio ....

Ride a gondola at The Venetian Venetian Hotel - Casino Review

For $15.00 a person you get a gondola ride and a song from your gondolier. For $60 you get the gondola to yourself! The line was long -- reservations are recommended!
.
I was told that they hire for the voice and teach you how to pole a gondola later :) The gondoliers [both male & female] seemed to be really into the fiction!

Directions: In the middle of the shopping area at The Venetian

Take a drive up the strip ... - Las Vegas
Take a drive up the strip ... The Strip Review

Driving "the strip" from the south end to the north can be frustrating if you are in a hurry, but absolutely fascinating if you are not. You'll pass through Las Vegas history from the new, New York, New York to the old, The Flamingo and many stops between. It's a "don't miss" way to get an overview without wearing yourself out!

Address: Las Vegas Blvd south

Directions: From south of Tropicana to Sahara will take you from the present to the past.

Visit The Mirage Rainforest - Las Vegas
Visit The Mirage Rainforest Mirage Review

When the Mirage first opened the Rainforest was an eyecatching innovation. On a recent visit I dropped by again to see how it was holding up under the competition of the newer themed hotels and the answer is JUST FINE!!
.
You'll find the Rainforest just inside the hotel's front door -- the dome is 100 feet high and it takes 4 people to maintain the space.

The Bellagio Garden: Summer 2004 -- II - Las Vegas
The Bellagio Garden: Summer 2004 -- II Bellagio Conservatory Review

The first thing you see in the summer 2004 display is this young woman holding a bunch of balloons. The long strings emphasize how spacious the conservatory is.
