Lovely. I espically like the bottom tree.
Oh yes Pat, there is so much to do and see in Las Vegas. I did play the slots but the main reason for the trip was sight-seeing. One of the most spectacular things I saw was Mystère performed by Cirque Du Soleil. Sadly, no photos were allowed.
Amy, the hotel IS amazing! Every hotel in Vegas is pretty much over-the-top. I was blown away too.
Thanks for the visit texas_sweetie. Yes, the big flowers are real. Pretty amazing isn't it?
Yummy, that tree was my favorite too. It was an amazing place to visit! The aroma of all the flowers was a delight for the senses.
These are gorgeous.
Did you know that Vegas is my favorite place? I would pick going there over going to Paris or Rome! Something about the energy.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you vered. It's my favorite place as well. I've visited Germany, Austria, Italy, and Hawaii. The energy in Vegas can't be found any other place in the world.
