Las Vegas





We're spending a couple of days in Las Vegas. This refrigerated city in a scorching hot (110 F, 43 C) Nevada desert is certainly not winning any green awards. But it has evolved from a rowdy booze, gambling, and sex town, to a sophisticated entertainment center. Mind you, the rowdy booze, gambling and sex is still there. But Las Vegas has added ultra high end shopping, fine dining, art exhibitions, great shows, and extravagant architecture.


We watched the dancing fountains at the Bellagio, looked at the Forum Shops at Ceasar's palace and the Wynn Esplanade, enjoyed the landscaping and the interior design of the Wynn resort, and saw Mystère, one of the five permanent shows that Cirque du Soleil has in Las Vegas.
