Don't panic, I did not rush back to Paris for the weekend, well, at least not the one in Europe.
I went to Las Vegas on Friday night for a wedding on Saturday. I was interested in seeing the Wynn Hotel and the new City Center.
Thanks to John Novak's generosity I got the royal tour of the latter.
I met John at the Chinese New Year exhibit at the Bellagio and then he took me around the three main buildings - Crystals, the upscale shopping center, Vdara, the condo-hotel, and Aria the casino and all points between including the Veer Towers. We also visited the gallery of Dale Chihuly who makes those incredible sculptures you see at the Bellagio, including the chandelier in the reception which is also pictured.
Judi, the wedding is a story in itself. The trip was worth it. As you know, that City Center is really something. Thanks for coming by.
Jane, Pictures are great, but I'm still trying to piece together how you happened to run into John to get this tour?? Had you met at rain camp previously or something?? How great is that!
Jane, those are some great photos. I love to see how Vagas can roll out the red carpet. I need to take the Mrs. down sometime.
Ruth, I called him to ask him about City Center and he offered to show me around. Nice guy.
Dan, keep her away from the tables :)
That is such a great story, Jane! Even better than a phone call, huh??? Good for you for taking the iniative, and great that he took the time!
Hey Lady! If I hadn't talked to you, I wouldn't have know that anyone ever really PLANS a wedding in Vegas! Glad you got some awesome photos and had a great time too! I'm living vicariously through your travels--you are one traveling gal!
Have a great week...
Debe, hey, I've slowed down in my old age. Travel while you are young is what I say. The chapel at Paris is big business I am sure. It is actually quite tasteful.
Jane ~ I never thought Vegas could look so good! Did you happen to meet Vegas Bob?
I missed my Jane fix. Good to see you enjoyed your visit to the town that never sleeps. The moon over the hotel is an interesting shot.
Melinda, I did not. Thanks for dropping byh.
Leolinda, thank John for that moon. Again, I am oblivious.
Thanks for sharing the photos and your ActiveRain friendship story.
Viva Las Vegas :)
Soooooo. You go to Vegas....Meet John ....and no photos of you. :)))) (teasing) I will say the photos are stunning. Jane and I have been there. We had a blast. Visited many of your photos and must have a return trip to see the City Center. Must close more before going. Glad you had fun. Cheers
Haris, hope you enjoyed the photos.
Claude, you need to close a helluva lot more. Vegas is horrendously expensive. No wonder their business is way down.
Oh, you're such a world traveler, Jane. Love to experience your travels through your slide shows!
We have nothing like that here. Beautiful photos. Hope you had a great time.
Hi Jane...great sideshow awesome photos..thanks for sharing your trip with us here in the Rain :O))
