"Nevada Neon-Oasis" Las Vegas by sue_stone

Las Vegas Travel Guide: 8,369 reviews and 17,097 photos

I was so excited to be going to Las Vegas as I just knew I would love it. I'm not really a gambler, but I do love posh hotels, quirky architecture and dining out in nice restaurants, all of which Vegas has in copious amounts!

We stayed in the heart of the action, at the Bellagio Hotel, our room looking out over the large lake at the front with its regular 'dancing fountain' show, and the Eiffel Tower looming in the background. Crazy.

Las Vegas really did live up to my expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to return for a few more decadent days and nights in this Nevada neon-oasis.

    Great work on LV pages, enjoyed the Things To Do section. It is only in Las Vegas that your hotel and other hotels themselves become the visitos attractions! Back September : )

    Hi Sue, Vegas is definitely a place for sensory overload! BTW, the name of the artist of the "glass sculpture" located in the ceiling of the Bellagio is CHIHULY!! Quite amazing isn't it?!

    Excellent page - you've made me consider a return visit to Vegas some time as I can see we missed out on a lot, especially restaurants!

    How interesting to see such a multi task ATM and also this internet kiosk. I really like looking at photos of Las Vegas but I don't think I would be happy there.

    Great, useful, comprehensive and detailed tips as usual! My aversion to Vegas increased. Careful with the word 'architecture' in relation to Vegas. ;-)
