Pictures from my Vegas vacation
Pictures! \o/
The Mirage volcano
The volcano, again.
(Also, dude, LJ, the whole picture posting thing is so complicated now o_o I keep on clicking 'add to post' and it doesn't post.)
The inside of the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace--winding escelators! It was amazing and rather huge.
The ceiling
Fake sky! In a hotel! It was really quite spectacular to see.
M&M's World
So while in Las Vegas I decided to stop off in New York for a little bit :P (and Paris, and Italy, and Egypt)
The inside of the Nine Fine Irishmen pub in New York
The outside of the Nine Fine Irishmen (picture quality on camera=horrible because I was using a certain setting and I think I may have forgotten to switch it back to another setting)
All the people coming out from the first showing of Beatles Love
The flamingos at the Flamingo--I believe one of them was named after Bugsy Siegel.
It rained at one point--I took pictures of it because, you know, rain! It's awesome! (And we don't see enough of it here in CA or Nevada.)
Tried to get a picture of the Luxor Sphinx and got a picture of the window with rain on it :/
The inside of the Luxor
The Bleau cheese fries we had in Paris on Tuesday night
Bellagio fountain show (with music)
The inside of the Bellagio
The inside of the casino of Caesars Palace--it's quite unnerving to see a (probably fake) Roman statue in a casino :/
This was right outside Caesars Palace
This is the show my friend and I saw :/
The Obama rally at Cashman Center
Secret service agents and their dog! They tried to look all normal and regular but my friend and I saw their earpieces :P plus they weren't exactly secretive when they searched for bombs on the news vans (they didn't find any, but they did it for safety). It was interesting to see how the dog searched the vans.
My Obama button
Me at the Obama rally
Freemon Street experience
A.K.A. one of the areas featured in the Angel episode when Angel and the gang when to Las Vegas (and Lorne was singing at the Tropicana, which is located near one end of the strip, and when Fred, Gunn, and Lorne were trying to escape from bad people they appeared in Freemont Street. Logically, knowing where the Tropicana is located from Freemont Street, it makes no sense that they ran out of the Tropicana and appeared in Freemont Street, but it was a TV show so I think they made some excuses. Still. Made no sense. But it was amusing seeing Freemont Street.)
Excalibur
Lenin
Oh hi Cyrillic alphabet, long time, no see :P
it sort of took me a long time to realize it translated to 'red square'. I should probably go back and review some Russian. (And the 'l' looks nothing like 'л' in the word, so I was confused for a tiny bit what the second word was.)
Mandalay Bay specialized in sharks. We didn't want to pay the money to see the sharks so we saw exotic weird fish instead, for free, in the lobby of the hotel.
Oh, and we saw a shark.
The Venetian
Look, it's Buffy! The wax Buffy, though, because we went to a wax museum.
Paul Newman!
Obama! He looked real from a distance--up close he was still all wax :/
