With all the water outside it's hard to remember your in a desert.
With the detail and openness, it's hard to remember your
inside buildings.
Shopping malls, exhibits, so much to see. Some of the hotels seem
bigger than some towns, you can get lost in them. Just
in awe...

Large salt water aquariums every where we turned.
The size of some of the tanks, deserved to be in Sea World instead.

The hallways appear even larger and more opulent empty.
This is `only' a side hall between the Mandala Bay hotel and their Shark Reek.

Even the light fixtures are fancy.

Luxor, rooms are cantilevered over the center conforming to
the pyramid shape.
The inside was dizzying to look up.
The main floor is the casino, This raised floor was all their exhibits
and rides.

Our Room at HGVC |
 |
Our room at HGVC (Hilton Grand Vacations Club, and
surrounding area.
Separate rooms, small apartment size was very
comfortable and enjoyable. Though we went to a lot
of buffets, it was nice having our own kitchen too.
Hot tub in the room, as well as the private pool and hot tub
for members only.

Personally I have always thought that the wood ducks
were the prettiest ducks.

Their enclosure is nicely shaded, the white areas are refrigerated
from below and their water is cooled.

We originally had a higher room, but, with Patricia's
surgery they were able to change us to a ground floor room.
Which worked out really well with a North exit to a
side street and our main exit within 20 feet to the South through
the pool area. |

Prologue |
|
Vegas has grown up and become the Adult Disneyland, a wonder to see. No expense
was spared and it shows. One cab driver told us The Venetian was paid off in five years
after completion.
Even if you don't gamble or even drink, it is a sight to see. Well worth the trip.
I highly suggest nothing less than a full week, even in ten days we didn't cover all of it.
It was a great trip, lots of fun...
