Walkin' the Strip

The fabulous and limited-time (exclusive) Las Vegas construction tunnel tour. Open, fresh-air sidewalks, bah! Half a mile of covered, beige, protected construction walkways - helps minimize glitz overload.


A new innovation in the ladies loo at the New York, NY (see DOUBLE cupholder, upper left - definitely accommodating to the yard-long margarita crowd).


Ah, the ladies of the Bellagio. It's a little hard to tell from this snap, but these ladies were so unbearably fashionable, that it was impossible to ignore them. They turned heads all the way through the casino... just missing their yard-long drinkies.



Still at the Bellagio, one of my favorite places in Las Vegas. The ceiling of the lobby - beautiful pieces of blown glass - farther away, and up close.




Pretty!



In a few places, it looked like what we'd seen in Italy last summer, but at the same time, kind of not.





Venice? or Venice, Las Vegas? Minus pigeons ... Plus ear-numbing cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching...




Even though it was cold and rainy all weekend, there was always sunny skies to be found inside..





Celebrations begin for the Year of the Ox.



Kung Hei Fat Choi!


Me, taking a picture of Chris, taking a picture for Liane.



Over the teeth, past the gums, look out Siegfried (or was it Roy?) here I come... (ok, bad joke, but good bronze tiger mouth)
