Vegas Baby!

 

#AtoZChallenge 2021 April Blogging from A to Z Challenge letter V

Vegas is another destination I didn't discover until later in life, but once I did it is hard to keep me away!

 

 

2020 is the first year  we haven't visited Sin City in almost 20 years, so I have quite the collection of photos. Did I forget to mention, I really don't gamble much when we go to Vegas. I do, however, love to wander the casinos and see them "thru my looking glass", so to speak.



Don't get me wrong, I love the tourist shots. The NYNY casino is one of my favorites.


The Paris Casino at night is another must see!



 
 The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in the Bellagio Casino is always a colorful destination.
 

 Their themes change with the seasons, but their Autumn displays are a favorite of mine.
 
 
 
 
 But my favorite way to experience Las Vegas is to wake up at sunrise to roam the casinos as the sun starts shining in their windows.
 
 
 
 
 
 Enjoying the rare silence before the rest of the tourists start their day is like seeing a different side of the glitz and glam that is usually Las Vegas.
 
 
 
 Plus, when else could I take pictures of the elegant bathrooms in some of the casinos without getting a few strange looks.
 
 

 
Remember, when you plan your trip to Las Vegas, enjoy that glitz but look for the artistic mixed in with the glam.

The Red Rocks of Nevada



 #AtoZChallenge 2021 April Blogging from A to Z Challenge letter R
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is located about 45 minutes West of Las Vegas and is the perfect place to escape the casino crowds.  Take your time and drive the loop around the park, or spend the day stopping to enjoy the scenery by hiking or rock climbing. In the spirit of a Less Wordy Wednesday, I'll let you enjoy the beauty.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 If you are ever in Las Vegas and need a break, get out and enjoy a bit of red rock nature!
