Las Vegas photos part 1

[fbhjr]

Friday night we drove into Boston to get on our 8PM flight to Las Vegas.


We were flying Jet Blue, which is OK as airlines go.
They fly west over Chicago and then down to Last Vegas as a non-stop flight. This takes them over the very southern most part of Canada.
As we went over there there were some very strange clouds below us.

I don’t know if it was Buffalo or Toronto lighting it from underneath as the map isn’t very accurate, but it was strange.


I was amazed how dark it was flying over Utah. I mean no lights at all. This is an actual photo out the plane window between flashes of the wing lights.


We did eventually get to Las Vegas.

It’s a very bright spot in a big dark area.


And, it only gets brighter as you get closer.


I booked us a room at the Luxor. Mostly because I knew I’d be able to find it in the rental car.

The rental car turned out to be a mistake. We drove to the hotel Friday night and back to the airport Sunday night. I could have taken the airport shuttle and saved some money. But, we didn’t know our plans for Sunday when we arrived, so I got the car just in case we needed it.

The hotel is a hollow pyramid with rooms in the walls and a big hollow space inside.


And, Egyptian themed everywhere.


They did not have the no-smoking room in the pyramid I had paid for in advance, so we were sent to the tower. I guess it was an upgrade. The room was nice enough.
About midnight we got to sleep.

I love your photo essays! :)

When we went to the USA we went to the HOover Dam - it's amazing how much power they have to generate to keep Las Vegas lit up like that!
