Vegas: Not like anything I've ever seen.
So, I like Las Vegas.
I like the town for pure novelty of it all. Driving in from the east, there are no suburbs. The city pretty much appears out of nowhere. And, of course, it's not your average skyline what with the Stratosphere, a huge pyramid, a mini Manhattan, an Eiffel Tower in the mix. I'd always imagined Vegas to be seedy, but if you stay on the Strip, it's really more like a themepark for adults. Between the free drinks, the crazy buildings, and the truly quality people-watching, I approve.
Paris . . . in the desert.
The conservatory at the Bellagio (my favorite of the casinos I visited).
Not to mention ladybugs. Me and my cousin who kindly let us crash at her house.

And here I thought I'd left New York. The Manhattan skyline, by the way, doesn't include much purple.
A little flashier at night.

It's so hard these days to find a good frog made of flowers.
